NEW FREE FICTION: Thy Father’s Lies by Craig Laurance Gidney

My story, Thy Father’s Lies, is now up on Wattpad. This is a postcolonial fantasy, a sort of prequel to Shakespeare’s The Tempest, told from the spirit Ariel’s point of view. Ariel is my favorite Shakespearean character, so in a way, this is a piece of fan fiction. Enjoy!

FICTION: Quench by Craig Laurance Gidney. TW-violence, homophobia. Inspired by a Throwing Muses song.

I wrote the story “Quench” after listening to a song by Throwing Muses, entitled “Vicky’s Box,” about twenty years ago. The story is about a lost young man and his sexual compulsions. It’s a kind of realistic horror story, and closely mirrors the sad story of the late Matthew Shepard.

You can read the story over at Wattpad.
