“Southern Baptism”
“One night a few years ago, I met God at an old gas station outside of Luverne, Alabama…”

It’s Christmas Eve of 1876, and nine year old Lionel Dupree is spending it in bed, sick with a terminal illness his parents won’t explain. The boy knows he doesn’t have much time left, but a surprise visit from a long-lost aunt could be just what he needs to raise his spirits.
“Atomograd”
What begins as a normal day for Kostyantyn, the last occupant of a nuclear exclusion zone, spirals out of control when mysterious creatures trespass on his home turf and threaten his way of life.
