Goodreads Review
"The characters felt real, the situations were unpredictable, and the tone was both unsettling and thought-provoking."
Editor, Ecuador
"The unsettling atmosphere is remarkable; so strong, immersive and engrossing due to surprise readers with its more-gruesome-than-the-last details."
Beta Reader, NY
“Not even going to drive through the state of Arizona. NOPE!”

Michael Stone crafts stories of speculative and contemporary fiction. His work can be found in online publications and print anthologies. When he’s not creating post-apocalyptic and supernatural worlds he’s helping institutionalized veterans transition from service by guiding them through career exploration and self-reflection. Outside of his writing endeavors, he plays fetch with his pups, Maggie and Macy, and spends quality time with his family of six, exploring the vibrant culture of the Windy City. To check out some of his writing, navigate to the Stories & Blog section of his website.
