Around The Martian Fringe: A Collection

By JP Lantern

A girl uses supernatural means to take revenge on her abusive brother;
a reuniting father and son search for a kidnapped village;
a group of boys try to survive a night in an ancient forest, hunted by a savage monster;
a young man finds his courage on a hunting trip when he must save his mother's life;
and, a scientist tries to retain his sanity, locked in with an enormous terraforming engine and the many apparitions from the past and future that it creates!

These five short stories complete the picture of the savage, dystopian Mars envisioned by J.P. Lantern, seen also in his Red Country Trilogy.

JP Lantern

J.P. Lantern lives in the Midwestern US, though his heart and probably some essential parts of his liver and pancreas and whatnot live metaphorically in Texas. He writes speculative science fiction short stories, novellas, and novels which he has deemed "rugged," though he would also be fine with "roughhewn" because that is a terrific and wonderfully apt word.Full of adventure and discovery, these stories examine complex people in situations fraught with conflict as they search for truth in increasingly violent and complicated worlds.
