Naught Enough
Unforgettable short stories - journey across time, space, and the human experience.
[Note: the short stories in Naught Enough have been separately published under their own covers and are collected here verbatim.]
From the generational starship saga “Slow Ship,” where Captain Alexandra Brennan discovers the shocking truth about humanity’s interstellar future, to the poignant “Pizza Not For Takeout,” where an unlikely friendship develops against London’s bustling backdrop, this anthology traverses the full spectrum of speculative and contemporary fiction.
Step into a world where a martini-drinking three-eyed alien diplomat observes humanity’s struggles in “Garnaak and the Two Ladies,” and a saga where time itself bends to allow a mother and son to meet across decades in “Echoes of Birthdays.”
Venture into the mind-bending philosophical questions of gender identity in “Coming Home Again,” where bodies are just vacation for the weak-minded.
Experience the Cold War intrigue of “Central Exposure” as four college singers become unwitting pawns in a dangerous international game, contemplate the universe’s end in “Close the Door,” and witness dragons facing heartbreaking misunderstandings and wrenching tragedy in “Dragon’s Lost Love.”
Each tale in this collection invites readers to explore the boundaries between connection and isolation, between what we create and what we destroy, between the stories we tell ourselves and the truths we cannot escape.
Naught Enough weaves together science fiction, fantasy, and literary fiction with characters whose struggles, triumphs, and transformations will linger long after the final page.
