"Dead Man" Walking Again, in Israel
Submitted by Douglas Smith on Thu, 2008/08/28 - 6:31pm
When my post-apocalyptic novelette, "Memories of the Dead Man," first appeared in the great Canadian magazine, On Spec, the story was described in Tangent Online as "a unique, post-apocalyptic blend of The Road Warrior and X-Men."
"Dead Man" has now been reprinted in the magazine Mercury in Israel. Check out the cover at the left.
The story follows Mary and her son Jase as they try to survive on the road after a plague has decimated Earth and brought about the fall of civilization. They are saved by Bishop, a mysterious stranger with a dark past and telekinetic powers, but soon realize that Bishop attracts his own kind of danger.
