That Boy Ain’t Write in the Head

That Boy Ain’t Write in the Head

For the last fifteen years or so, I have been writing short stories for various anthologies and collections. And like any artist, while I am working on my next masterpiece, I decided I needed to release a “greatest hits”. A boy’s gotta eat y’know.

That Boy Ain’t Write in the Head is a collection of mixed genre stories (that’s a fancy way of saying I couldn’t stick to one direction): Sci-Fi, Alternate Universes, Time Travel, Supernatural, & More

From sci-fi to stark reality, these short stories will entertain, provoke, and whet your appetite for more. This collection contains not only serves up the best of Paul K. Metheney’s short stories, but an all-new menu of fresh tales to stimulate your literary palate.
