What is Irredeemable?
It is a collection of 18 dark SF, dark fantasy, and horror short stories. Most were originally published in various semi-pro and pro-level zines and anthologies. Some are original to the collection.
That’s the boring description of Irredeemable. Let me tell you about the collection in a more appealing, fun manner.
Irredeemable is a collection of 18 stories where an irredeemable bastard gets what’s coming to him or her. Most are given the opportunity to do the right, honorable thing, at least this one time. This fine balance between right and wrong is a common theme in my short fiction, and the primary one I wanted to explore with Irredeemable.
Irredeemable is published by Seventh Star Press.
