Hello, all! This is Mike Allen, writing this introductory post on behalf of all four of the authors of A Sinister Quartet, which is a book of four dark fantasy and horror stories -- three novellas and a short novel -- inspired by collections like Stephen King’s Different Seasons. Our book just came out yesterday, and we’re all super-grateful for the chance to be here. (Links to buy at: Bookshop | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Google Play | Kobo | iBooks | Elsewhere )
I’m going to go through who we are and what we wrote in the order we appear in the book.
Singer, actor and audiobook narrator C. S. E. Cooney won the World Fantasy Award for her debut story collection Bone Swans. Her novella from Tor.com, Desdemona and the Deep, is a 2020 Locus Award finalist. Rebellion Publishing will release her novel Saint Death’s Daughter in 2022. In the short novel she contributed to A Sinister Quartet, “The Twice-Drowned Saint,” shape-shifting, sacrifice-hungry angels rule the ice-walled city of Gelethel, and the family that runs the city’s movie house makes plans to escape -- a crime that runs the risk of merciless retribution from the angels and their servants.

So I'm listening to the HPLHS "Collaborations" audio book collection. And there's a story in there called "Fragnent" written with J. Vernon Shae.
It's only 2 minuets long so cant be more than a page when written. So hardly even a short story.
Is this story actually called "Fragment"? Or is it just a fragment. Are there more fragments like this? If so are they collected anywhere?
It stood out to me as I have several collected editions of Lovecrafts work, including one dedicated to Colloborations and Ghostwriting. And I couldn't find this in any of then.
Furthermore after some googling of J. Vernon Shae I can see he's written quite a lot, but I couldnt find a trace of this fragment.
Can anyone help me shed some light on this?
I’m 99,9 % sure that it isn’t him, I think it’s an effect on Cole or Bas voice but it definitely sounds a bit like Justin Vernon imo. Might be because I’ve listened to an unhealthy amount of Bon Iver lately so everything sounds like him lol.
