A High Shrill Thump: War Stories

By Third Flatiron Publishing

Paradoxically, war is both a rite of passage and the bane of human existence. Third Flatiron Publishing presents "A High Shrill Thump," a
new anthology of science fiction stories by an international group of award-winning and emerging writers, who offer their visionary takes on
the theme of war. Contributors include Gustavo Bondoni, K. R. Cairns, James S. Dorr, David L. Felts, John Harrower, Nick Johnson, Brenda Kezar, Lon Prater, Tom Sheehan, Jack Skelter, Michael Trudeau, David Turner, and David J. Williams. These gritty storytellers charge through the gauntlet of war, past, future, and unimagined.
