Everything’s Ephemeral: Stories from the Workshops Volume I
description:

“What happens between the movements of the second hand
can last a lifetime—if you don’t blink.”

Ephemeral: “lasting but a very short time”

In Everything’s Ephemera: Stories from the the Workshops Volume I an undercover agent can no longer tell if she’s the pursuer or the game…a priest and a hit man collide in the echoes of a third grader’s screams… a mother plans a radical intervention for her daughter, recently wed to a charismatic cult leader…an unnaturally close brother and sister find their relationship tested by an enigmatic stranger with bestial designs…a fourteen-year-old girl, alone at home, tries to hold her own when a drifter comes knocking, asking questions about her burgeoning womanhood…a grandfather’s pocket watch holds ten minutes of the past, but is it enough time for his grandson to save him?… a serial killer and a homicide detective try to outmaneuver one another during a backyard barbecue…and more.

There are significant times in your life that turn on a heartbeat or last just as long. This first volume of Stories from the Workshops, Everything’s Ephemeral,  contains 21 tales that examines these times, as well as their sometimes ambiguous antecedents and often ruinous aftermaths.

Welcome to the Ephemeron

Get Out, You Ghosts: Stories from the Workshops Volume II
description:

“First I had to actually break free of the Scum and do it as quickly as possible so that I had a ghost of a chance rather than a chance of becoming a ghost…”

In Get Out, You Ghosts: Stories from the Workshops Volume II, a husband and wife plot to kill one another, while their daughter begins dating the Mondauk Strangler…a family joins a small church, only to find themselves trapped by a domineering preacher and his vicious priest-holders…a good-looking high school boy has girls, literally, falling for him…a husband and his reticent wife travel to visit their son in a psychiatric facility, where he’s been remanded while on trial for the Roosevelt Mall Massacre…the truth behind the death of a famous writer—the shot heard ’round the world—threatens to be revealed during an excruciating family interview…to try to rescue her, a sister follows her twin to the Martyr School, an institution that instructs its students that to die by their own hands is to martyr themselves for God…and more.

Michael-Patrick Harrington, the author of Saving Magdalene and Sweater Girl and Other Tales of Mondauk County, presents a collection of tales that looks at the ghosts the characters flee from and those they leave behind.

Welcome, the Quick, the Dead, and the Damned.
