Release day: ODDMENTS

Posted on by Marko Kloos

Today sees the release of my short fiction compendium, titled ODDMENTS.

A while ago, I took stock of all the short fiction I’ve ever written. It’s a sizable pile of stories, but it’s distributed across a whole lot of online ‘zines, mosaic novels, or individual Kindle editions. If someone wanted to have all my short fiction, they’d have to go to a bunch of websites, purchase several different separate Kindle copies, and buy two mosaic novels. That’s a lot of footwork even if you know where to look, and too much of a hassle if you don’t.

I decided to put them all in one book, with a new introduction and forewords for each story.

The product description on Amazon reads thusly:

ODDMENTS is a compendium of short fiction written by Marko Kloos.
It contains all the short stories and novellas previously published in other story collections, mosaic novels, or online zines, combined into a single volume, with new introductions for each story added by the author.
ODDMENTS contains the following novellas and short stories:
  • On The Use Of Shape-Shifters In Warfare
  • Cake From Mars
  • Berlin Is Never Berlin
  • Lucky Thirteen
  • Measures of Absolution
  • Ink and Blood
  • Stripes
  • Probationary
  • How to Move Spheres and Influence People
It also includes three previously unpublished all-new stories:
  • Seeds
  • Steel and Paper
  • Rottertown
ODDMENTS: 120,000 words of fantasy, alternate history, and military science fiction by Marko Kloos, available in one comprehensive collection for the first time.
ODDMENTS is available via Amazon right now, in either Kindle or paperback formats. (The paperback isn’t live yet as I write this but should show up at some point today.)
If you were looking for a handy way to put all my short fiction on your shelf and get a few new stories as a bonus, it’s now super easy and highly convenient!
Category: books., shameless self-promotion.

  1. Can we have Audio version of ODDMENTS? I know that answer will be no but I can dream 🙂

    1. You never know. Audible already bought the audio rights to “Lucky 13” and “Shape-Shifters” a few years ago. Lightning may strike again.

  5. I love short stories and love your writing. You’re right, searching for all the bits hither and yon is a pain. Thanks for this collection, Marko. It’s on my to-buy list when the paperback is available. What a treat!

  6. The formatting on the Amazon page is screwed up so that codes appear in the text rather than changing fonts etc. Nonetheless, it’s a bargain and a sell.
