If you can’t find some fun summer reading for the beach, deck, patio, flight, or one of those marathon read-in-bed sessions, don’t come cryin’ to me. My new short story, “The Bureau of Myths,” is now available on Amazon for just .99 cents. It’s dystopian sci-fi with a comic twist. Think Philip K. Dick meets Jane Austen.
Centuries after the Great Conflagration, an unmanned drone of the Regime detects a strange settlement in the southwest corner of the new Western Purchase. Sent out to investigate are two officials from the Bureau of Myths, an agency commissioned to ensure that all myths told in government territories comport with Regime standards. But what the officials find in the settlement is like nothing they’ve ever seen before, and it challenges them to decide whether the story they’ve been told their entire lives is a lie.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that when Philip K. Dick meets Jane Austen, something wildly entertaining is going on. Come enjoy Daniel McInerny’s dystopian romance, “The Bureau of Myths.”
