Overview

The Tales of Early is a chilling horror anthology wrapped in the warmth of a firelit dive bar. Each night, Early takes his stool and the bartender slides him a glass. The crowd leans in, demanding the next tale. And Early begins: A mountain garden fed with bone and blood. A motel where bodies melt into steaming carpets. A carnival where rides run on flesh. A storm shelter built on the back of something alive. A pool that stays warm long after the bodies sink. At first, they are just stories tales traded for whiskey, laughter, and the nervous relief of survival. But as the nights go on, the reader begins to notice a pattern. Early is always the one who leaves early. Always the one who slips out before the hymn finishes. And always the one who shows up again, glass in hand, carrying the smell of another world on his cloak. This is not just a dive bar. It is a guild hall. And Early is not just a storyteller he is an apprentice learning the art of surviving the verses. For fans of cosmic dread, body horror, and timeless folklore retold through whiskey and firelight, The Tales of Early delivers twenty unforgettable stories that make you laugh too loud, look over your shoulder, and reread with new eyes once the truth is revealed.

Author Information

Christopher Lee Spino ​Architect of the SpinoChasm ​Christopher Lee Spino writes from the gut and the spirit, crafting stories that exist in the raw, jagged edges of the SpinoChasm. His work is a visceral exploration of a reality fractured by a slow, creeping inevitability-a micro-fracture in the universe that is widening toward an Unspoken End. ​In the dirt and the grit of his narratives, there is no room for the hollow spectacle of a cinematic apocalypse. Instead, Spino focuses on the brutal realism of survival. His prose is thick with the scent of marrow, salt, and frost, grounded in the quiet, desperate labor of those left behind in the ""flesh and the code."" He doesn't look away from the gore or the decay; he finds the heartbeat within it. ​From this grounded wreckage, his voice ascends. As the fracture widens, the writing takes on an elevated, sacred quality. The ""slow creep"" of the end becomes a catalyst for profound transformation, shifting from the visceral to the visionary. His ""Sacred Science Fantasy"" is a bridge between the biological and the eternal, where technology and spirit are merely different dialects of the same soul. ​Spino's ultimate intent is not to ""change"" the reader through force, but to act as a lens. He creates true characters-beings with enough weight and agency to survive the unimaginable. Their journey is a vessel designed to carry the reader across the Chasm, leading not to a moralistic transformation, but to a deeper, expanded understanding of perspectives other than self. To read Spino is to stand in the fracture and see through eyes that are not your own, witnessing the loop of the end and the beginning from the only vantage point that matters.
