Strange Horizons: a short story collection

By Marie Brown

Strange Horizons is a collection of short stories, ranging from science fiction, through horror, to queer love.
Behind the Mask:
The Mazuri were nothing but a myth, a horror story used to frighten children into good behavior. Or so Kevran thought, until he stumbled across one of their dead on a lonely asteroid, and his life changed forever.
Death Park:
Science fiction combines with paranormal horror in this short story set in the distant future, where everybody knows to avoid Death Park at all costs, but no one remembers why.
They named it Death Park, way back before the wars. No one in living memory knew why they called it that. All anyone knew for sure that no one ever returned from that place. So everybody avoided it at all costs.
But sometimes, the situation becomes desperate enough that even rumors of horrible things pale in comparison to the certainty of what awaits, and one must risk entering Death Park...
Revenant:
A creepy science fiction tale involving a bit of horror, a bit of romance, and a whole lot of revenge.
One Night Stand:
A chance encounter in a bar leads to a night of passionate awakenings and pleasure for a self-confident trader and an inexperienced soldier.

"Marie Brown has lived in many locations across the United States, but spends most of her time exploring the realms of imagination. Currently located in Colorado, her brief moments of free time are spent in front of her computer, frequently covered in cats."Blah.Yeah, okay, that's all true. But I'm tired of hiding behind a bland, third-person pseudo-bio, utterly lacking in personality.Hi! I'm Marie Brown, and I write a lot. I self-publish through Smashwords and Amazon because I got tired of getting "well-written, but not our thing" rejection letters. Because, you see, most of my fiction tends to include characters that are either bi or just plain homosexual, and despite increasing acceptance of human sexuality and its many variations across the world, heroes and heroines are still supposed to be straight.Well, mine aren't. So if you're brave, and you don't mind that the main character of a story either isn't interested in sex at all, or is quite likely to hop in bed with someone of the same gender, then give my writings a chance. Come explore my fantasy worlds, or my science fiction worlds, or even spend some time with an occasional random love story set on Earth.And by the way, just this once, I wrote this entire blurb without a cat on my keyboard.
