Russell has produced two different short fiction collections with Wildside Press:

NEWEST RELEASE

The End of All Seasons

Publication Date: March 12, 2013
In his first collection since Waltzing With the Dead (2004), Russell Davis returns with The End of All Seasons, a gathering of four poems, fourteen short stories (including one never before published), and a creative nonfiction essay about his own muse. Ranging from winter to spring, summer to autumn, and crossing over genre boundaries from fantasy to western, this collection will take readers on an unforgettable journey through the seasons of the human heart. Davis’s last collection was called, “… one of the most unique short story collections. A complex puzzle of words,” by Chizine.com, and also received a Perfect 10 rating from Romance Reviews Today. Introduction by Nancy Holder.

Waltzing With the Dead

Publication Date: January 2004
Four poems, fourteen short stories . . . one journey through the dark dilemmas of the human, and not so human, heart. This collection, which includes an introduction from noted author Ed Gorman, and three stories that have never before been published, ranges from a dark tale about a fetus very much aware of everything being said around it to a tale of Merlin and the true story of how Camelot fell to the story of a man who looks for love in the personals and finds it in a way he didn't expect.
