R J Dent’s latest published short story is the surreal The Pink Floyd Story Considered as a NASA Space Flight Report.

The Origins of Goatboy by R J Dent

May 7, 2011

 

Here’s a short story I’ve written. It’s called The Origins of Goatboy.

 

I’ve always wanted to write a Pan story, and The Origins of Goatboy really gave me the opportunity to examine the mythical origins of the goat-boy in a semi-humorous way, but without having to gloss over the serious and brutal aspects of the era Pan was starting to have an influence on.

 

Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading The Origins of Goatboy. I certainly enjoyed writing it.

 

There are several other short stories of mine available to read at http://www.rjdent.com/shortstories.htm

 

Enjoy.

Marksman by R J Dent

April 23, 2011

 

 

Here is a psychological urban horror story I’ve written, entitled Marksman.

 

I wrote Marksman because I wanted to examine the role of the psychoanalyst in the 21st Century – and to juxtapose it with the role of the 19th Century sin-eater.

 

I hope you enjoy reading Marksman. I certainly enjoyed writing it.

The Joke

July 28, 2010

The Joke by R J Dent



Here’s a short story I’ve written entitled The Joke.



I wrote it because I wanted to examine the ways in which brutality engenders humour and the way that humour can – out of necessity – come out of brutality.



I was also interested in writing a prison-camp murder story.



Finally, I wanted to write about jokes – and some of their unfunny manifestations.
