Stacey Cochran’s short fiction and novellas represent a smaller but distinct part of his catalog, with three works published in 2011 and 2012. In Love with Eleanor Rigby draws on a literary reference point, Chromosome 4 moves into science fiction territory, and The Weight of a Clear Blue Sky suggests a more contemplative direction.
Short fiction allows authors to experiment with concept and voice in ways that don’t require the sustained development of a full novel. For Cochran, these three pieces show the same range of genre interest visible in his standalone novels, compressed into shorter forms. They are independent works and can be sampled in any order without concern for continuity.
