Demon from the Stars and Other Stories
Three genre-blending stories by Craig Pittman mixing horror with sci-fi and fantasy elements.
This collection defies standard categorization by placing disparate elements in direct conflict. An alien entity disrupts medieval life, a fictional character escapes his narrative constraints, and a sentient zombie evades government capture. Pittman uses these scenarios to explore identity and survival across different realities. The stories do not share characters but share a tone of existential unease. Each tale presents a unique threat that forces protagonists to question their reality. The prose moves quickly between high-concept premises and immediate danger. This approach creates a reading experience that is both intellectually stimulating and viscerally engaging for the right audience.
Published in 2020 by Independently Published, this work sits within the contemporary landscape of self-published horror fiction. It draws on medieval settings, modern psychological thriller conventions, and established zombie apocalypse tropes to create a unique blend of supernatural and sci-fi elements for American readers.
