Explore the Curious and Confounding

A gritty sci-fi / western featuring a genetically modified talking horse A karmic sci-fi apocalypse haunted by the ghosts of the dead A man who erases memories, desperate to remember something important An old-fashioned story of survival in space, with a twist

These stories by Robert J. McCarter are different, strange. They are the anomalies, the divergences from his usual storytelling. Darker. Stranger. Weirder.

Genres span the spectrum from a contemporary tale of a cowboy detective in Arizona hiding from his past, to a human judge in an AI controlled far-future sci-fi world, to a fantasy story about a man seeing silent ghosts in the forest who are trying to tell him something.

Featuring Designation Null, a finalist in the Writers of the Future Contest, and twelve other stories, embark on a unique adventure with Anomalous Readings.
