The Drum Tech: And Other Stories - Hardcover

Step into stories where the ordinary twists into the peculiar, and the line between human and machine, reality and nightmare, blurs in unforeseen ways.

Echoes in the Halls takes place in an average high school, where a robot, disguised as a student teacher, is sent to uncover who is hacking computers and haunting the halls. Watch as this machine slowly evolves, gaining more and more human qualities, but not without the help of a courageous student and a lost dog.

In The Crawl Space, Peter takes a side job few would dare-crawling into darkness and with bugs for sure, but what else will he find on his day off? This small job becomes a big test of courage for Peter and a riveting vignette about what can happen in the grips of fear.

The third story in the collection, Current World, invites you to see the world through the eyes of a fish. Monte Crabbs flips the familiar "fish out of water" idiom on its head as Luke finds his way toward an unexpected love.

The Drum Tech drops us into a music industry where one vampire, a would-be drummer, will do anything to join the band.

The collection's final story, Death by Mangrove, is a chilling Florida Keys mystery that might make you think twice before booking your next getaway.
