The Empath's Tale : Part 6, Steve Dillon , single work novella fantasy

Old Bones, Young Bones, Gerry Huntman , single work novella fantasy

'Vanessa, her mum and daughter are escaping from Refuge. But is a trip to the past, and to people and places from the past, really such a great idea?'

Source: Publisher's blurb.

No Refuge for Cat, Steve Dillon , single work novella fantasy

'This is about 'Two ladies who lunch' and how they despise the cats that have recently 'swamped' Refuge. One of the ladies is in for a surprise, as she encounters one of Refuge's 'undesirables.' Beneath the surface, there is another story of racism, bigotry, and complicity in a a campaign on the part of the mayor that intends to do more than sweep away 'the cat problem'.'

Speak No Evil, Matty Taylor , single work novella fantasy

'Matty Taylor's festering artistic imagination has finally been fully unleashed with his first literary effort for 'The Refuge Collection,' a story that peels back the true face of Refuge's police force, and gives another worrying insight into the plight of the homeless people of Refuge.'

Source: Publisher's blurb.

The Strange Old Man, Steve Dillon , single work novella fantasy

'Detectives Dickson and Garrett stumble upon strange old man who thrusts a leather-bound package into Garrett's hands, beginning a convoluted generational tale of a story-within-a-story, each layer peeling back to reveal older and more macabre levels to the puzzle...'

The Priest's Tale : Part Two, Steve Dillon , David Allen , single work novella fantasy

'Concluding 'The Priest's Tale,' this short story also concludes the tales from Refuge... for now. The Sacrorum Sacerdos, Egocentia, has flown to Refuge to recover the seventh book of Esdras before it can be used to bring about the end of days. But is he too late?'
