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.


Volume 42: June, 2009


Luminations - Curve by Rick Silva
Twenty-five years ago, Bobby Whittaker betrayed and helped to murder Mattie Ives. Now Mattie is on a path of vengeance against all of the people responsible for her death. Bobby Whittaker died in a car wreck seven years after he helped kill Mattie. But Mattie isn't about to let that little detail get in the way of her revenge.


Santa Maria - Stars by James M. Sullivan
Daphne gets one last message from Rodina and her son has news for her, too. Brady and Calliope grow closer while Ant tries to calm Rod down, only to be interrupted with another crisis.


Solstice - Spring, Part Three by Ivan Ewert
The best-laid plans of gods and men are often undone by a single whim, and as Vulcan succumbs to his capricious temper, a nighttime chase unfolds through the winding hills of the countryside - a chase which can have only a single winner.


Danyael - If At First You Don't Succeed by Nick Bergeron
Doing good can be a lot more complicated than it seems.  If you don't think about what you're doing, you can often do more ill than good, or find yourself in dire straights.  They say that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.  Mine was paved with quarters.


June Guest Author  - Choice by Alma Alexander
It is Essen's birthday and as a birthday gift, an angel gives Essen the choice to have the life that could have been. But Essen is wary as gifts come with a price and she isn't sure she wants to pay the price to have a life she's only dreamed of.



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