Filtered Light cover<\/p><\/div>\n

Hietala has written some forty short stories, most of them falling into the speculative fiction genre, but also real life and humor stories have appeared to the surprise of many. His flash piece \u201cLord Stanton\u2019s Horse\u201d won the Flash500 competition<\/a> in September 2010, and \u201cThe Campsite vol. 1\u201d was highly commended in the Global Short Stories competition in March 2011.<\/p>\n

His short story collection \u201cFiltered Light\u201d was first pubished in the United States by PfoxChase Publishing, Feb 2012. Now, in August 2015, it is being reissued by his UK Publisher Fingerpress.<\/a>\u00a0 The new edition’s cover is shown on the left and it will be available on Amazon and other bookstores.<\/p>\n

Hietala\u2019s work has appeared in five short story anthologies so far, and shown on websites such as \u00a0Escape Into Life<\/a>. Two of his stories were included in the anthology \u201cWords to Music<\/a>\u201d, for which forty authors were sent a random song to use as inspiration. His flash fiction has appeared in the Rammenas collection\u201dIn These Hands\u201d. There is also the Strange Circle Magazine vol. 3<\/a>, in which his short story “Over the Bridge” appeared.<\/p>\n

There is also the Arkadia Gazette No. 1, which featured Hietala’s short story “The Summerhouse”. It seems that most of Hietala’s short story work falls in the Speculative Fiction category, and as examples of that are published stories such as “Stuorra-Jouni” (in The Cosmos Pen) and “The Dispatchers”.<\/p>\n

There is a Short story sampler<\/a>, if you wish to read some short stories. It contains the following stories:<\/p>\n
