With over 50 published short stories to her name Christi Nogle has established herself as a modern Ray Bradbury. Promise collects Christi Nogle's best futuristic stories ranging from plausible tech-based science fiction to science fantasy stories about aliens in our midst: chameleonic foils hover in the skies, you can order a headset to speak and dream with your dog, and your devices sometimes connect not just to the web but to the underworld.
These tales will recall the stories of Ray Bradbury, television programs such as Dark Mirror and The Twilight Zone, and novels such as Little Eyes by Samanta Schweblin or Under the Skin by Michael Faber. They are often strange and dreadful but veer towards themes of hope, potential, promise. AUTHOR: Christi Nogle writes psychological and supernatural horror, dark science fiction, and weird fiction. She is the author of the collections The Best of Our Past, the Worst of Our Future and Promise as well as the novel Beulah. Her short stories have appeared in over fifty publications including PseudoPod, Vastarien, Escape Pod, Three-Lobed Burning Eye, and Dark Matter Magazine along with anthologies such as C.M Muller's Nightscript series, Humans Are the Problem from Weird Little Worlds, Mixtape: 1986 from The Dread Machine, and Flame Tree's American Gothic and Chilling Crime.
