Excerpt
I kept my eyes on the dark shape among the rocks below me as I clambered down the cliff. It looked like a pile of rags, not like a human body at all. Not a body. A teenage boy. My brother. I couldn’t take my eyes off Jared, afraid that if I looked away for even a second that I would lose him. As long as I had him in sight, he would still be alive when I got to him. He had to be.
Please, be alive.
Bio
E. C. Myers lives in New York City, where he stands out not at all as a novelist with a day job. His short work has appeared or will appear in venues such as Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine, Sybil's Garage, and Shimmer Magazine. He is currently seeking publication for his first two young adult novels, Fair Coin and Quantum Coin, revising a third book, Who We Used to Be, and drafting his fourth, Birthright. When he isn't writing, working, or sleeping, he occupies his time with editing the Clarion West alumni newsletter, The Seventh Week; reading for Ellen Datlow's The Year's Best Horror; and blogging for Tor.com, where you can read his reviews of the 79 original episodes of Star Trek. He attended Clarion West in 2005 and is a proud member of the NYC writing group Altered Fluid.
