    Author

    Jake Johnson

    A seventeen-year-old freelance writer and professional editor, Jake J. Johnson is not using a pseudonym. Starting to read at any early age, he built up college-level reading comprehension on a steady diet of imaginative SF and horror before entering high school. It was around this time that he discovered a talent for writing, and, shortly thereafter, another for editing. He is rather disenchanted by novels which appear in English curricula, and much prefers newer, original stories created using recent media. For example, the interactive stories told through the video games "The Stanley Parable" and "Dear Esther", the concept of the "light novel", and the community-told story of "The Fear Mythos". He much prefers looking to the future to studying the past. His favorite novel is both Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash" and Lawrence Miles' "This Town Will Never Let Us Go", and his favorite short story is Isaac Asimov's "The Last Question". His ultimate goal is to become an anthology and manuscript editor at ACE, ROC, TOR, or DAW. For now, he's content with gaining a hold on the world of publishing.

      Preface

      Welcome to Jake’s Monthly. It’s time to introduce the fifth volume in this monthly series, where talented authors have written Punk stories of all kinds- from steam to diesel to cyber, and a few you probably haven’t even heard of. Get ready for some strange alternate technologies, because it’s time to begin!

      What follows is a short description of the stories in this volume- like the summary on the back of a book. There are no real spoilers, but if you don’t want to know the premises before you read, please skip over the next section.

      Cold Portents is by Mike Jansen, and is a great example of an alternate history done well. Make sure to keep on the lookout for more stories set in these worlds.

      A Growing Problem by John H. Dromey is a sturdy story in a world of steam and clockwork, where progress looms sinister on the horizon.

      The Tick-Tock Heart of StarrBat is another tale by modern bard T. Fox Dunham, which appears in his new Ragtime setting. If you enjoy steampunk-dystopias spiced with the elements of spy novels, be sure to check it out.

      Unparalleled Problems in the Multiverse is an amazing concept which I'm proud to present to you- the pinnacle of variety in Punk, presented by John H. Dromey. About every Punk genre has been included in these thirteen stories- twelve of them 100 words exactly and one 180. I highly recommend it.

      The Ghost in the Wire is the birth of a new Punk genre- Frankenpunk. Our Post Apocalyptic anthology's story Body Builders Here to Stay is an example of it, even though it wasn't intended to be. This new genre stems from an alternate history of the novel Frankenstein. The corporations have golem technology, a massive need for corpses, and a bunch of graveyards which are starting to run dry.

      Cold Portents

      By Mike Jansen

      ‘Hi.’

      ‘So nice of you to come and visit me. Thanks for the chocolates.’

      ‘You’re probably wondering what an old man like me is doing in a place like this.’

      ‘I mean, besides staring out of the windows. Nothing much happening of course. Seasons still come and go. Have been for dozens of years.’

      ‘Yeah, yeah, before I was institutionalised as well. But you’re too young to remember that, eh?’

      ‘Because that’s why you’ve come, isn’t it?’

      ‘I saw you driving through the gates in your new car.’

      ‘Oh, hydromovile is what you call them nowadays. Let me guess, beats burning fossil fuels any day, right? Good for the environment too, I’ll bet ya.’

      ‘But you know about me, don’t you? Been sifting through the files, came across my name. And wondered.’

      ‘Of course I know that. It happens with every new director of the ward. I’ve been around long enough that I can see a pattern. You’re not the first. Won’t be the last either. Or maybe you will be.’

      ‘So you found me out. Tough geezer like me spending his life in an asylum. Brain so split you could
