Almost Human: A Collection of Short Stories

Humanity: are we really capable of change? Or are we doomed to play out the same Acts over and again, where only the props and backdrops vary? In this collection, you'll encounter stories set in the near future where neuroscience and technology are used to rehabilitate convicted criminals with unexpected results. In the icy winter of a distant Transylvania, a struggle for freedom from Ottoman oppression unfolds. In the present, one man struggles to accept his failed marriage. A pair of cursed lovers live out multiple incarnations, doomed to always find one another, yet never be together. And when a mythical figure walks amongst us, his notes in the margins of history take shape. The past, present, and future blur when we consider what it is to be Almost Human.
