Ordinary lives rarely remain ordinary.
A schoolteacher drifts into the night sky. A scientist discovers a solution that could save billions, if only anyone will listen. A writer finds himself defending the rights of a machine that may have developed a mind of its own. A coffee shop owner discovers that the cockroaches beneath his floorboards have ambitions of their own.
In Murdering Tranquility & Other Stories, Scott Hertzog brings together eleven tales of speculative fiction that blend science fiction, satire, humor, mystery, and wonder. Strange technologies collide with everyday lives. Impossible discoveries force ordinary people to make extraordinary choices. And sometimes the universe simply decides to rewrite the rules.
By turns thoughtful, unsettling, funny, and deeply human, these stories explore time, identity, technology, memory, and the fragile assumptions we make about the world around us.
For readers who love The Twilight Zone, Ray Bradbury, and speculative stories that leave you thinking long after the final page.
