Stories & Thoughts
The tangled and twisted mind of Vincent St. Claire.
Published Short Stories & Flash Fiction
Short stories and flash fiction is the playground for the imagination. It allows for short-form storytelling but also for just writing practice in general. These are not deep intellectual treatises but fun, quick reads for distraction. Even horror takes a break now and again to revel in the absurd. This is that, for sure. Click on a story to read it.

World of Bristol Cove
Founded in 1658, Bristol Cove is the sister seaport city to Innsmouth in Southern Massachusetts, southwest of Providence, Rhode Island, south of I-195, just off the mouth of the Wexford River.
‘The Cove’ is the center of a fictional universe designed by Vincent St. Claire in pursuit of a modern Lovecraftian exploration of cosmic horror in the 21st century. This is an ever-evolving resource—a story bible—for the stories set in and around Bristol Cove, and provides all the key information on locations, people, creatures, and artifacts.
“For fuck’s sake, I write godsquid-based gothic noir and world devouring cosmic evils for a living. Or at least I pretend it’s for a living. And I hang around with people who write time-shifting lesbians and squirrelly squires doing harpy hoedowns with demon-infested swords.” Julian snickered. “So far, this is registering as a mildly weird mindfuck.” He looked back out the window into the dusk-shaded gardens. “But if this is a reality that’s actually happening, it’s still a lot to process.”
