Well, hello there, blog! I have neglected you again and I apologize.

In truth, I’m planning a redesign of this site, but that is currently delayed with life and the previously mentioned BIG NEWS.

Let’s get right into it.

I HAVE A BOOK COMING OUT!

That’s right! Me, your friendly neighborhood short story writer has gathered 21 of my stories and a wonderful publisher has agreed to release it as a real life book.

It is my debut collection. It’s called THE WORLD OUTSIDE. Release date is July 16, 2024. There’s a cover. And some delicious descriptive text. And a preorder page.

Take a look at that cover. Pretty, right? I love it!

And how about some flowery text written by my publisher to get into the mood:

The cautionary tales we heard as children were only the beginning. In The World Outside, Elad Haber’s debut collection, you will find stories slippery and surreal, fables full of fantasy and fury, and apocalyptic parables that braid the future with strands of our past. Music becomes a commodity beyond the control of the artist; discover Time as a community-offered service. Classic archetypes shed their skins—like out-of-season leisure wear— looking to find something that lets them express their true selves. Even the things that offer us hope and meaning have unexpected and unforeseen side-effects.

Like all tales told around the fire, Haber’s stories are filled with both wonderment and warning. What we discover as we wander into the shadows will be weird and strange—and it will certainly have teeth—but that doesn’t mean we won’t be prepared.

The World Outside is your guidebook to what lies beyond.

As you can imagine, I am VERY excited. I am planning a Book Launch event here in Miami. I am working on some other appearances. And I am also writing and submitting stories so I can get some buzz going around the book and upcoming publications.

If you would like to take a journey TO the World Outside, you can preorder directly from the publisher here: https://firebirdcreative.myshopify.com/products/the-world-outside

As we get closer to release day, I will be posting more with news and events. In the meantime, thanks for stopping by!
