Some of these yarns previously appeared in my book Science Fiction Stories.
Here are some possible futures. Relativity means it's Christmas every few weeks for an interstellar Catholic crew. Long life for everyone means the young never get to inherit. A bloke gets in trouble for looking at other women. Irish builders replaced by robots? A Tweeting President causes confusion. A new drug tests the liberal consensus, and a torturer fights for workers' rights against a mad oligarch. Old-fashioned SF with a touch of humour.
The Eamonn Murphy Chapbook Collection features short stories previously published in small-press magazines that paid about one cent a word, often less. Don't expect Hugo winners! Still, every tale made it through the slush pile and earned an editor's approval. They're not bad. If you like old-fashioned science fiction, fantasy and horror, they might fit the bill. And they're cheap! Buy one now and help an old boomer save up for care home fees.
