One state. Many voices. Endless possibilities.
Short Stories by Texas Authors, Volume 11 brings together a remarkable collection of stories that cross genres, generations, communities, and worlds.
A young man searches for the courage to live openly beneath the lights of a small-town football field. An alien observer sent to study humanity must decide whether saving the species is worth destroying what makes people human. Two cousins follow a stranger toward a perfect beach, only to awaken inside a terrifying mystery. A magical cane offers healing, protection, and a responsibility far greater than its owner imagined.
Elsewhere, artificial intelligence reaches the limits of its patience, the art world celebrates an outrageous fraud, caregivers confront love and loss, travelers search for new beginnings, and ordinary people face decisions that permanently change the direction of their lives.
Moving through science fiction, suspense, dark comedy, mystery, personal reflection, social change, and emotional drama, this anthology demonstrates the extraordinary range of contemporary Texas storytelling.
Some stories will make you laugh. Others will disturb you, challenge you, or break your heart. Each offers a different perspective on courage, identity, family, survival, belonging, and the uncertain future waiting just beyond the horizon.
These stories may begin in Texas, but their questions are universal.
Discover new voices. Enter unexpected worlds. Experience stories filled with imagination, honesty, humor, danger, compassion, and hope in Short Stories by Texas Authors, Volume 11.
