The Animal Inside

Pre-orders are now being taken for the ebook version of my second collection of short stories through Amazon. The print version will be published on the 10th of October.

The Animal Inside is a collection of thirteen strange and twisted stories that will take you for a walk along the fine line between insanity and reason, the peculiar and the prosaic, and the animal kingdom and human society, then leave you wondering where one ends and the other begins. These tales will confuse, amuse, shock, and intrigue, but they will also cause you to contemplate your very own animal inside.

New Interview

My most recent interview is up now on Lindsey B. Goddard's website, Author Interview Corner. I really enjoyed answering this set of questions because several of them gave me cause to think about my writing in a way that I tend not to do of my own initiative.

If you are a fiction reviewer or interviewer and would like to read some of my work, just send me a message at ctrost(at)hotmail.com with "Review/Interview Request" in the subject line.
