Different Waves, Different Depths
short fiction
by Roy Christopher

Different Waves, Different Depths takes its name from a comment an old crush made once about her feelings for the author. It also describes this collection of nine stories, varying in style from the literarily weird to the science fiction and in length from the flash to the novelette. There are time loops and time travel, reality television and big data, consultants who can make anyone a winner, a newspaper that's just gone online-only, a band that never existed but is all too real, mistaken identities, roadtrips, drugs, guns, murder, and a love story or three.

$16.95 / 258 pages / paperback
