Cold Witness
By Alex Roddie

Cold Witness, my first science fiction short story, has now been published as a standalone title on Kindle. This piece was first published as part of the No Way Home speculative fiction anthology, and is a twisted tale that has been described as ‘techno Lovecraft’. You can purchase it on Kindle UK for 99p.

Cold Witness

In 1976, an RAF radio engineer is sent to decommission an old military installation at a remote site in the Suffolk countryside.

What he finds there will bend the fabric of reality and plunge him into a waking nightmare from which there can be no escape.

Who is the dreamer, and who is the dream?

Praise for Cold Witness

‘An unusual and off-beat story told with great skill’ – David Wailing (author)

‘The lucidity of reality versus dreams and what it means to exist are explored throughout Cold Witness in a way that I found simultaneously chilling and refreshing.’ – Anthony Vicino (author)

‘I was really impressed with the techno-Lovecraft vibe. This is definitely more of a mental thriller, but the stakes are no less exciting.’ – S.E. Lehenbauer (author)

A mountain before breakfast

Every weekday, unless the weather is genuinely terrible, I like to get out and do some exercise before doing anything else. My alarm goes off, I hit snooze once or twice, I drag myself out of bed, I brush my teeth, I check the weather, and then I head out
