Cover the sky over chaos short stories by Markus McDowell

Markus McDowell’s The Sky Over Chaos is an ambitious entry into the realm of speculative fiction, weaving together elements of dystopia, philosophy, and intricate character studies. Each story is a testament to his ability to weave intricate narratives that delve into themes of loss, existential angst, and the quest for identity. The collection tackles grand themes such as the nature of society, individual freedom, and the impact of technological advancement on human relationships.

This collection showcases McDowell’s skill in crafting emotionally charged and intellectually stimulating stories that linger in the mind long after the final page.

Available from select retailers in paperback, eBook, and audiobook.


Within a series of nine short stories, McDowell casts a stark, exam-room light on situations that test the extremes of human drama. These stories examine the range of what drives a person to the limit whether it be, stress, tragedy, or predilection. Reminiscent of Poe, McDowell remains true to his flawed characters as they survive the chaos in which they find themselves. Most enjoyable.

As a reader, these short stories took me deep into the internal complexities of our humanity, when the ‘wild card’ of chaos is played. Each story has been crafted with literary tension, designed to take the reader beyond the end of the story. Dr Markus McDowell will have succeeded, if like me, you find yourself lingering over the story, having been evoked to ponder, reflect and question.
