Gary Hewitt

We like to believe we are civilized. History suggests otherwise. In this provocative book, Gary Hewitt argues that humanity never outgrew its emotional childhood. The evidence is everywhere: political tantrums, leaders driven by insecurity, tribal identities masquerading as morals, and cultures terrified of uncertainty. - When fear rises, we choose strongmen. - When trust dies, imagination fills the gap. - When truth is hidden, conspiracy becomes faith. You Are Not Civilized exposes the psychology behind our most destructive behaviors-obedience, denial, projection, moral outsourcing-and shows why civilizations stumble into fascism, fanaticism, and fantasy when adulthood is avoided

In the ancient past, God destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah for their wickedness - so the legend goes. In Sulfurings: Tales from Sodom & Gomorrah, 18 authors tell their own stories about the destruction of the ancient cities. These tales are apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic in the highest order. You'll meet creatures great and small, real and imaginary, struggling to survive a sudden calamity that not only takes them by surprise but takes their lives and the lives of their loved ones. There are glimpses of redemption and depictions of fleshly horror. But every story is well told and deserving to be read. Sulfurings: Tales from Sodom & Gomorrah consists of 10 flash fiction stories, 6 short stories, 1 poem, and one creative essay. This is speculative fiction at its very best. Call it legendary fiction or historical fantasy, either way, you will be entertained.
