The Edge of Propinquity - Photo

Propinquity - 1: nearness of blood: Kinship. 2: nearness in place or time: Proximity.

The Edge of Propinquity is a series of short stories from four different authors in four different universes exploring the world that lurks just beneath the surface of everyday life. It is the world of the unexplained, supernatural, magic, horror, duty, responsibility, black humor, conspiracy, unknown heritage and power. This semiprozine is updated on the 15th of every month.


Issue 72: December 2011

(Final Issue of the Edge of Propinquity)

Credencium - The Dream Collapses - by Kaolin Fire
Joshua leads his friends in a raid on The Golden Dawn's fortress. The full gang goes head to head for control of reality; reality dissolves around them.


Flotsam - Aftermath - by Peter M. Ball
They may have stopped the world from ending, but Keith isn't sure he can live with the cost. Roark's leaving and Keith's staying behind, rebuilding a life in the city he always hated, and the one person who could have made it bearable isn't coming back. When the local Other make him an offer, Keith has to decide whether he keeps on fighting or disappears into the flotsam that drifts through the city.


Idolwood - Silent Nights - by Ivan Ewert
The Hanged Man is dead, and the newly awakened Grey Jordan has kept his son and secrets safe. A new covenant emerges from the ashes of the old, one formed for protection. Yet the seeds of doubt are quick to spring forth in the wake of a murder and a cover-up, and the cracks in a foundation can be easily seen from the shadows of Idyllwood.


The Ones Who Call - As Long as the River Flows - By Alina Pete
The loss of a family member brings the Sipisis family together to mourn, and during the process, Jenny's love for the valley is rekindled. Life may not be easy for The Ones Who Call, but as long as the rivers flow and the sun shines, their family will always endure.


Guest Story - The Final Seal: Dante Collins vs. the End of the World - By Erik Scott de Bie
Dante has always seen things that weren't there. Never knowing if what is talking to you is really there makes the teenage years all the more hellish. Things take an abrupt turn when Dante's hallucination reaches out and touches him, proving that it is more than a hallucination and that Dante is the most important person of this age.


Have you ever looked over the edge and seen something looking back at you?
