Today on Project Gutenberg, we have... Sonny by Rick Raphael With a title as short and nondescript as "Sonny," it's all too easy to overlook this short story at first.

For the inaugural work of fiction here on HH, I've chosen a piece that I wrote a few years ago, during my first or second year of college. I remember being inspired by 1930s-style dieselpunk and especially the little robot on the webpage of Clarkesworld Magazine. I think of it as a "worldbuilding piece," something … Continue reading Short Story: “The Mechanical Theater”
