About a year ago, I dusted off two very old stories and reworked them for the Patreon. (I did two because it didn’t feel fair to just do one when they were old.) So now, a year later, they roll out here for free. Isn’t that great? If you want to support that Patreon, by…
A year ago, readers on my Patreon got the story of a man exploring an alternate Earth where the touch of man was unknown, because animals never evolved. He mainly goes there to let his dog do its business beyond the reach of pooper-scooper laws, because the gate into that uninhabited world is huge and…
That’s right! The long awaited anthology of nineteen of my short works is now on Kickstarter and you can pledge for it at this very instant! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gregstolze/i-dream-of-insomnia/ Now, if you’re a longtime Stolze fan and follower, a lot of the work on that table of contents is going to look familiar, but this is your…
Some time ago, in the really bleak depths of COVID lockdown, a friend and editor tried to assemble a set of stories set in the HPL Cthulhu Mythos setting (or something like it) but with a hopeful and humanist vibe. When he approached me about it, my first thought was, “There’s no way to thread…
It’s that lovely time of month again. I’ve uploaded a brand new story at my Patreon page, which means an old one from last year rolls out and lands here, free for everyone, thanks to those cool as hell funding heroes. (If you like the stories here, hey, you know what to do. Or, if…
This is exactly what you expect from me, right? A light-hearted tale of a girl in love who pursues her goals with great determination, right up to the happily ever after? What? You don’t expect that? Hm. Well, you might like it anyway. Here’s Gwynafra Needs a Love Potion. Also, while I have your attention,…
This sounds like it should be promoting a new streaming service that somehow costs listeners even more while giving artists even less, doesn’t it? But no, it’s a short story from yours truly – one I always thought would make a decent one-act play. You can read it right here, right now. If you’d wanted…
First up, there’s a new story in the ol’ fiction library, and it’s some nasty crime stuff. So, the content warning for Freckles is, there’s torture, murder, and allusions to sexual crimes. If you want to skip out, it’s understandable, but all that darkness is in service of a story about corrupted justice systems and…
Y’all know I love a first contact story, right? I feel a particular fondness for the bobblehead aliens in this story. They’re not creepy. Really, they’re not! In other news, I’m getting ready to do another game Kickstarter. It’s been a while, right? It’s more TERMINATION SHOCK stuff, and if you’re not familiar with it,…
It’s been a minute since I updated the ol’ web site here, but I’ve been busy and the news is good. First off, there’s a new story in the fiction section! It’s called Stranger Lake and I swear the idea seemed horrifying when I first had it, but it just skewed towards comedy more and…
