    Maw is the Lovecraftian story of Mack, an oil rig worker who's fateful flight home into a storm takes him on a disturbing journey beyond the realm of the physical, forcing him to confront his own neuroses.

    Collected here is the short story Maw, and five flash fiction tales of strange and thoughtful horror that take the reader from the hung over regrets of a young woman, to the last message of a far future expedition.

    Author

    George Jacobs

    George is a geeky lover of the imaginary, ancient coins and history. His bookshelves are full to burst with SF, fantasy and cosmic horror and so that's what he writes, though he's partial to the odd historical mystery too.Aside from short stories he also dabbles in numismatics, drawing, programming and bird watching. He has had a varying career, having worked on oil rigs, drilled holes in Martian meteorites, and planned trains. George lives in the UK with his gorgeous wife and two evil degus.
