Horror, Humor, and Heroes Books in Order

Twelve stories and a novella combine supernatural menace with comic reversals and unlikely heroes. Among the characters are a campaigning zombie, a vampire challenging an insurer, and a struggling supervillain forced into the unexpected role of saving the world.

Thirteen fantasy stories follow reluctant heroes, magical contests, dangerous journeys, and investigations into impossible disappearances. Epic and urban settings provide encounters with cursed warriors, unexpected summer jobs, immortality, and a miniature dragon exasperated by its human companions.

Twenty-four science-fiction stories explore altered futures, manufactured monsters, alien combat, corporate power, and fractured timelines. Comic inventions and nanobot troubles appear beside accounts of catastrophe, as different writers consider humanity's choices and the consequences of technological ambition.

A Hillbilly Bobby novella accompanies thirteen stories ranging from alien abduction to apocalyptic survival. Characters include a crisis-line volunteer speaking to a self-aware missile, an immortal swamp creature, and conquistadors confronting a threat beyond their expectations.
