Story: THE HANDOVER
The first of the online collection
Welcome to the online story collection, as announced here. The first story is THE HANDOVER. Links to download are below, along with basic instructions.
This first story is free to all. The next — coming on Wednesday June 21st — will be for paid subscribers only, as will those that follow. That’s $5/month for two stories.
Remember that you can upgrade to monthly paid membership at any time, and unsubscribe again with a single click. Please also remember that these stories are a benefit for subscribers, and should not be shared around — and especially not uploaded to copyright thieving Web sites.
I hope you enjoy it!

Unfortunately Substack doesn’t yet allow embedding of Kindle-native mobi files, but I do have them prepared, so if all else fails, let me know in the comments…
Instructions
If you click on the links above, you will be offered the opportunity to download the file to your phone, tablet or desktop. You then need to find where your device has saved the file (on an iPhone or iPad, go to the Files app — where it should be the last file created) and either click or double-click on it.
That’s how it works in the iOS and MacOS universe, anyway. I assume it’s similar under other OS but if someone has concise instructions on how it might work on an Android phone, please let me know and I’ll put it up for future reference.
Failing that we’ll figure it out in the comments section.
If you decide you need a ton more stories, right now, then the table-breaking The Best of Michael Marshall Smith collection is available from Subterranean Press.
If you encounter any problems either downloading or reading, please let me know.
I got to page 2 and already laughed three times. I think I might need to upgrade now!
On Android, I just downloaded the epub link then shared to Kindle, which brought up the import function. Easy to do.
Thanks MMS!
I hadn't read any of your short stories, and this, this is just so good. I've only read it through once so far, but it's one I will return to a few more times. The little details matter. I love the dark grey mood it evokes for me. I love the imagery, very similar to a lot of the abandon mines and small mining ghost towns I grew up around and spent time in as a kid. Thanks for this.
