This next selection caught my attention immediately, not only by its intricate storyline, but also its clever dialogue. Dialogue is one of the most challenging aspects of writing—when done effectively, characters become vivid and “real.” When done poorly . . . well, there’s simply nothing that ruins a story faster. The Small, Black God captures the back-and-forth jousting intellects of a young archaeologist and a panel of scientists who have arrived at his dig site, perhaps with motives of their own. Heed this god, but consider still the following: Well done, Mr. Miller, well done.

Caw also asked to include his own anecdote regarding this tale: “The original version of the story was set on the Black Sea coast of Turkey, but a week before the submission deadline for the anthology, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Turkey and killed hundreds of people. Out of respect for the victims and their families, I moved the location across the Black Sea to Crimea. I hope that Crimea escapes the baleful glare of The Small, Black God.”
