SHORT STORIES & POETRY

"I love to read, and write, short stories. While by nature they can't be as complex as a novel, they offer other opportunities to explore the craft of writing. They can hit hard and fast, build slowly, and really focus on a key character or event. There are no subplots to distract the reader. You can move time fast or slow. It's no surprise many great movies have come from short stories. If you talk to writers, frequently you'll find that it's a short story that sticks in their mind the longest. 

I began my career writing short stories, and it still remains an important piece of what I do. Like with my novels, I've written stories in all genres, from straight horror to high fantasy and science fiction.

Below is a list of my published short stories to date, and where the originally appeared (magazine, anthology, ezine). Some are no longer in print; others you can find on my Amazon page or by purchasing back issues or copies of the original publication. If there's one you simply can't find, contact me (jg@jgfaherty.com) and I'll do my best to help you locate it. If I can. No promises!

And if you're in the mood to read something right now, check out my Free Reads page, where you'll find a free story, my gift to you for visiting my website." – JG Faherty
