Hi. My name is Lawrence Dagstine. Since 1996, my short stories of science fiction, fantasy, and horror have appeared in a multitude of print periodicals, webzines, print anthologies, digital or trade-only publications, collections, and more. My fiction has been published somewhere in the neighborhood of 600 times; don’t even get me started on creative non-fiction and technical wiriting. Even now I have a new book out called The Nightmare Cycle (Also, The Paraplegic & Small Favors). Many of the books you see here no longer exist. It is a fact that most anthologies or genre publications come and go, some times to be forgotten. Don’t be shy. Have a look around, at some of the book covers, places I once published. Also be sure to check out the Magazines section of this website.
