The BookIt is impossible for anyone to know what the future will bring or even what is lurking behind the next corner, but it is possible to wonder, to question, to imagine. Have you ever imagined? Machines with science beyond compare, intergalactic relics possessing unlimited power, creatures of nightmares, troubling family dinners, and more are included in this enthralling anthology of the awe-inspiring, the wonderous and the bone-chilling. Examining topics of greed, love, and fate, there are stories designed to make your heart race, others designed to melt it. Possible futures and the horrors of today, Tales of the Forthcoming is a collection of ten short stories of imaginative science fiction mixed with the supernatural bordering on the unknown or the unknowable. So make a cuppa, sit back, and forget the world for a short while as you dive into a world of make-believe where imagination rules. The AuthorSteven is a London-based writer. After having some of his short film scripts produced, he turned his hand to writing in other formats, including short stories, children’s picture books, and stage plays. He is a passionate writer compelled to create fantastical fiction in varying genres with the aim of exploring the world through writing. He values honest writing that entertains as much as it elicits an emotional response. Tales of the Forthcoming is his first anthology.
