Strange Stories II: The Empty Earth
Today, with climate change unchecked, we sit at the precipice of destruction, teetering on the edge, digging our hands into the dirt, scrabbling for purchase, for salvation.Will we topple over the edge or, at the last minute, save ourselves? My stories assume we will continue to ignore the danger and that will lead to the end of humanity.Global warming, too long ignored, comes for us at last in two of the stories presented here. Both stretch the boundaries of the short story definition, approaching novella length. Both are stories of their survival and the lonely life that followed the climate apocalypse.In the first, the sweltering heat of a warming planet, coupled with rapidly rising waters and terrible storms, do us in. In the second, the melting permafrost of the frozen north releases an ancient, deadly virus to finish us off. Frighteningly, both scenarios are far too possible. The possibilities I based the stories on are remote and almost certainly will never happen. Still, the idea of very rapid global warming or an unknown virus emerging from a frozen sleep as the permafrost thaws were just too good to pass up.The final story is a bit different. It offers one answer to the age-old question, ""What happens to us after we die?"" In this version, quantum physics Many Worlds Theory offers an answer.

"Nem lehet megoldani problémákat ugyanazzal a gondolkodásmóddal, amivel csináltuk őket."Albert Einstein
Életünkben csak akkor tudunk gyökeres, pozitív változást előidézni, ha tisztában vagyunk azzal, mit és hol rontottunk el – legyen szó akár magánéletről, akár karrierről -, hogy aztán a későbbiekben ne kövessük el ugyanazokat a hibákat, amelyek idáig juttattak bennünket. Ehhez azonban kíméletlen önkritikát kell gyakorolnunk. Ha már sokadszor lépünk bele ugyanabba a feneketlen pocsolyába, újra és újra pofán ver minket az élet egy méretes péklapáttal.Ilyenkor csupán két lehetőségünk marad: vagy feltesszük a szemellenzőt és az esélytelenek nyugalmával ismét belevetjük magunkat ugyanabba a trágyakupacba, vagy veszünk egy hidegzuhanyt, és helyi érzéstelenítés nélkül szembenézünk a saját hibáinkkal.Könyvünkben mi a második lehetőséget választottuk. Természetesen miután annak rendje és módja szerint számtalanszor végigpróbáltuk az első verziót. Kíméletlen öniróniával és szarkazmussal készült ez a mű, ami nem csoda, hiszen az ember a legtöbbször nagyon is tisztában van vele, hogy problémáink okozói saját magunk vagyunk. Éppen ezért, a megoldás is csak az lehet, hogy magunkon változtatunk.Nem könnyű. Sőt! Piszkosul nehéz. Legyen ez a könyv egy mankó ehhez a folyamathoz.Döntsük el, hogy főszereplői leszünk az életünknek, vagy végigstatisztáljuk az egészet. Tessék választani!

Gondolatlépcső
Kedves Olvasó!
Több témára bontott kötetem egy kivételes, és nemrégiben feltalált magyar versforma, az apeva iránti lelkesedésem és tiszteletem ihlette. Az apeva öt sorban, növekvő szótagszámmal csak elsőre köti meg az alkotó ember kezét: a forma legtöbb esetben, így itt is azt a célt szolgálja, hogy a megfelelő tartalommal egybekötve adjon szárnyakat. Ez a versforma már csak azért is különleges, mert már ránézésre is feltűnik gondolatébresztő jellege. Számomra olyan, mint egy lépcső, ahonnan óvatosan indul a vándor, majd a mélységek rejtelmes katarzisa felé tartva, és töltekezve a természeti, emberi igazságokkal, végül a csodák velős világába érkezik. Ebben a versformában a szöveg lombja a gyökere, és fordítva.
Köszönöm Neked, hogy kezedbe veszed ezt a kötetet. Bízom benne, hogy mélységes és felívelő élményt nyújt majd olvasása.
Így legyen!

Loss of the Resolute
Loss of the Resolute: A Dark FantasyThere are times in which nothing is certain, in which no man’s life or destiny can be taken for granted. There are lands where battles still scar the earth, and in which rival kingdoms never cease striving for dominance. In such times, and in such places, life is cheap, and death comes quickly. In such times and places, there are victors and victims… and nothing in between. In Loss of the Resolute, author Greg Alldredge takes us into a bold new heart of fantasy darkness, and leaves us shaken, thrilled, and eager for more. For fans of Game of Thrones, this prequel to an epic fantasy series is guaranteed to get the adrenaline pumping, and is sure to grip readers from the first fantastical page to the last.As city states wage war upon each other in an endless battle for supremacy and dominance, and as pirates and slavers comb the seas seeking their victims and carving out their territory, danger in The Fractured Lands is as much of a fact of life as breathing, eating, or sleeping. We’re introduced to Kanika, who is engaged in a spiralling struggle to keep one step ahead of death - something which lurks behind every jagged hillside, behind every drystone wall, and beneath the surface of every expanse of water - as she tries to find her path in an uncaring world, already soaked in the blood of each dark age. When a mysterious man enters her life, a thousand questions rise up from the depths: who is he? How will he affect her path? Can he be trusted? Does she need a man in her life? All of these questions - and many more besides - will answer themselves as we wander through the dark fantasy of The Fractured Lands, and as we’re dragged towards the thrilling conclusion of this stunning work of immersive fiction.

Világok közt a szabad ég
Kedves Olvasó!
A kötet címének áthallásos jellege nem véletlen. Minden döntés előtt feltesszük a kérdést: a szakadékra fókuszálunk vagy a szabad égre? Személyes és belső tapasztalataim alapján nincs olyan, hogy valaki mindig csak az egyik oldalt, hozzáállást alkalmazza.Sokféle kettősség megjelenik írásaimban; a szempontok, a világnézetek, vagy akár hangulatok ütköztetése azonban úgy maradhat izgalmas, ha nem mindig oldódik fel az általánosságok homályló tengerében. Ezt a szellemiséget egyre inkább beépítve írói felfogásomba, jelen kötet valamivel kevesebb mint felét az egyedi/különös kategóriába sorolható Történetek című fejezet teszi ki. A költői prózák iránti vonzalmam ösztönös, és nem is szerettemvolna ellenállni neki; a Lélektani prózák fejezet az ember mint társas ésérző lény konfliktusait és esetleges feloldó szemléletét igyekszikbemutatni, míg a Gondolatprózák rész a sohasem megkérdőjelezhetetlen véleményalkotás ösvényére lép.
Az olykor játékosba hajló nyelvi és gondolati réteg alatt reményeim szerint Te is több olvasatot fedezel fel.Kellemes és fantáziaderítő olvasást kívánok!
