Synopsis: 
Dialogues: A Collection of Creative Conversations. A standoff with Bigfoot, an epidemic of serial killers, crossing a busy and blood-spattered road, men leaving their wives for artificial intelligence dating apps—these are just a few of the dialogical short stories you’ll find in this new collection by Randal Eldon Greene, set to be published in the near future by the Corona/Samizdat. 

Dialogues is the product of a writing challenge Greene began in 2018. For every week of the year, the author wrote one dialogue-only story. Most of the stories included in Dialogues come from this challenge, though some have been totally rewritten and others scraped entirely. In this collection you’ll encounter a variety of topics and tones and experiments in presentation. Humor and heartbreak, philosophy and pulp are placed equally side by side in this collection that is sure to entertain any intrepid reader.

 

Below you’ll find a list of published dialogues. Links are provided if available.
