Inside My Mind Volume II

Description

Where imagination sharpens, and reality begins to slip.

Inside My Mind: Volume II continues the definitive collection of short stories and flash fiction from Douglas Owen, capturing the evolution of his craft between 2014 and 2017. These stories explore themes of identity, fear, power, and perception—all with Owen’s signature genre-bending flair.

In this volume, the edges are sharper, the shadows deeper, and the twists more unnerving. Highlights include:

• “Jumping Life”, a leap through realities that questions the very core of existence
• “Snow in April”, where memory and weather collide in chilling fashion
• “2084”, a dystopian nod to Orwellian futures and the erosion of truth
• “Words”, a science fiction tale about language and entrapment
• “Power”, a haunting descent into the mind of an aging vampire
• “Dungeon” and “Got One”, clever, twisted reflections on perception and corporate absurdity
• “Fluffer” and “Disposal”, unsettling stories that push readers to the psychological brink

Also included is an exclusive sneak peek into Owen’s full-length novel The Hordes, offering readers a glimpse of what happens when his dark imagination moves beyond the short form.

Whether you’re new to Douglas Owen or returning for another deep dive, Volume II offers a more mature, more daring, and more disquieting look inside one of Canada’s most quietly fearless voices in fiction.
