Charles G. Thompson

“Charles G. Thompson’s short stories are sharp and original slices cut from slightly warped, off-kilter worlds where the fantastical and magical often collides with the hard-bitten truth of daily life. They taste fresh and fearless.”

Mark Haskell Smith, Author of Blown and Naked at Lunch

“Charles G. Thompson illuminates the complex lives of a wide range of characters with great empathy, wit, and eloquence. He knows how to weave a compelling tale and present our secret dreams with grace and power.”

Mary Otis, Author of Yes, Yes Cherries

“‘Runner, Runner’ is a fantastic piece. It’s the kind of profile of character and place we relish.”

Adam Van Winkle, Editor, Cowboy Jamboree
