One Headlight

"The engine is running. Brrrbrbbrrrrbrbrrrbrrrbr. The windows are down (way way down). The music is up (way way up). There are burgers in a bag. Donuts in a box. There’s ketchup on the floor (already). "
Chad W. Lutz, From the Depths, 2020

Through the Fog
2019 Haunted Waters Press Award for Fiction "Bill isn’t stupid, but the way he acts might make you think that way. Yes, he stares blankly at nothing and is always slow to answer—even if he catches what you say the first time—but he’s not stupid. He isn’t eating dirt or putting forks in toasters. His thoughts just ain’t always clear." Chad W. Lutz, From the Depths, 2019

THROUGH THE FOG From the Depths 2019

Working with Haunted Waters Press has been transformational. Before being published by HWP, I was a newbie on the literary scene and with little confidence. Susan and Savannah helped me realize my potential as artist by giving my work a chance and in such beautiful formats.Chad W. Lutz

WHERE THE ROAD GOES From the Depths 2014

THE BROAD CLOAK OF NIGHT From the Depths Fall 2012

From the Depths is one of the most emotive and visceral collections of short fiction on the market. It's eclecticism and panache sound off of every page. Reading its pages stirs my own depths each and every time I pick up an issue.Chad W. Lutz
