Short Stories

Most of these were previously published in magazines during the ink-and-paper days. Now with a bit of music.



Non-Fiction



Absurd and Vast

From a forthcoming novel by Steve S. Saroff.



The Aether and the Lie

Note: This is an early version, with music, of what became the popular novel by Steve S. Saroff: Paper Targets, published by Flooding Island. (Paper Targets is also available, without music, as an Audible audio book.)

Told by Enzi, a runaway and laborer who becomes an entrepreneur and a criminal, “The Aether and the Lie” tells the tale of Kaori, an artist from Tokyo who stalks and kills her ‘one love,’ and then confesses through her art. It is also Enzi’s story, tracing his drifting past and comparing his own failed ‘one love’ to his strange relationship with the artist from Tokyo. It is a story of murders, money buried in the mountains of Montana, a wise bail-bondsman who lives in the back of his truck, revenge, and a thin detective who studied to be an architect but now only draws lines between incorrect assumptions. However, it is not just crime, as the story is infused with nature and solitude, and unwraps the motivations for doing bad things.

Episodes '1-Kaori' through '16-Into the Aether'
