The Glass Forest and The Gilded Sky

"Just then gaunt Suicide staggered in, and everyone jumped up to greet him heartily because he was usually dead that time of night."

My very favorite publisher, Pill Hill Press, has published three of my stories in their anthologies, and this one in "Pandora's Nightmare: Horror Unleashed" published in 2010 is one of my favorite short stories.  This is a story from the point of view of the denizens of Pandora's Box.  Did I mention the other contributed stories are great, too?  They are.

Press "1" to Begin

"The very first humans were probably non-verbal, but they needed a code to understand their relationships to one another — who was boss and who had to do all the nasty chores. For this code, they created words, as they were illiterate and didn't have computers. Different tribes of people quickly developed different codes: Chinese, Latin, Farsi, Rap ... and all the other languages, you know, that were in the world. "

"Press "1" to Begin" was my second science fiction short-short to be printed in the "Futures" column of 
NATURE, 3 December 2009, and was also picked up the following year by Concatenation.  

(Yes, that NATURE, and yes, they do publish fiction.)

Praxitales

"I am alive, Hel-ene. I am not definable in words."

"Praxitales" was my first sale, about a dolphin's brain implanted in a human.
 I didn't think any editor would go for this, but Warren Lapine of Absolute Magnitude did, 
for his Winter 1996 issue, and it then made Locus's "100 Best Science Fiction Stories of 1996."  
It was republished in 2008 by
 Abyss and Apex Magazine, #27.

"The world's not black and white, you know!"
"Sure it is! Zebras, pandas, orcas ..."
"... soccer balls ..."
"Soccer balls aren't alive, you idiot."

"Chess's Game,"  my science fiction short-short,
was in the February 2008 "Futures" column of NATURE

    Hi! I am Nye Joell Hardy.
    I write science fiction and fantasy. The science fiction makes my head happy. The fantasy makes my heart happy. Oh, and I have started making "Moth Books." Although I sell all these things, none are making me rich. But I'm happy, damn it.  

      

    I have listed most of my published stories on this page. If you are actually reading this, I am so jazzed, I can barely ttyyppeeee....
