The Shorts Collection is a three-volume series of dark short stories, each tale under 5,000 words. Every volume will eventually contain 13 standalone works—fast, visceral reads meant to linger long after the last line.
Some of these stories were written many moons ago; others are newly born from a restless imagination. I release them as they are refined and polished, balancing older pieces with new work as it emerges. Once complete, each story is produced as a downloadable eBook.
Titles are still evolving—many of these stories were originally written without one. Their published titles will be their final names.
All stories are free to download and share. If something resonates, leave a note on the forums. Knowing a reader has walked these pages—and survived—is always welcome. Reviews are encouraged.
Thanks for reading,
Walter Lazo
