“These thirteen powerful, well-crafted stories have been aptly compared to The Twilight Zone: they offer a similar sense of dread and moral disquiet. . . They provide a beautiful reading experience" --Booklist
"Hawkins' collection of tales ranges from unnerving SF to exceedingly dark comedy. . . Extraordinary stories that will make readers laugh, shiver, or perhaps both.”— a Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2020
“Turing's Graveyard is a collection of provocative and mesmerizing short stories that force the reader to confront the nature of life and death, intimacy and indifference, and even the boundaries of reality itself. Hawkins writes with a passionate indifference about his characters and their experiences that perfectly encapsulates the isolation and disconnectedness of modern life. Brilliant.” —Tonya Hurley, author of the Ghostgirl series
“In this dazzling collection, Terence Hawkins travels from ancient Sumeria to Golgotha to the frontiers of technology but never loses his cool, acute eye or his coruscating wit. Turing's Graveyard charts a haunting liminal terrain between past and future that feels both new and utterly timeless."--Louis Bayard, author of The Pale Blue Eye
An online affair that isn't what--or with what--it seems. Jesus' last thoughts on the Cross. The birth of science in ancient Sumeria and its death in modern West Hartford. These stories are driven by dark humor as well as ideas, as we see in the miseries of a middle-school boy drafted into his stepfather's Civil War re-enactments, or The Sopranos as written by Raymond Chandler. This is fiction for people who like to think.
