The Death of Mountains | Lethe Press The latest novella by Nebula finalist Jordan Kurella is a moving allegorical tale. As mankind continues to hurt the planet, leaving us with scarred lands, stories like The Death of Mountains are more ...

my novella THE DEATH OF MOUNTAINS, where the... well the titular character, the Death of Mountains, comes for a middling hill in the Appalachians who doesn't want to die. in the tradition of Scheherazade, they trade story for story to stave off the inevitable.
