Published Works
Fiction Collection
Hello, Receiver (3rd Edition)
Hello, Receiver is the first standalone printing of Kalvin Madsen's writing, featuring five short stories. Read the rise and fall of an underground city called Den Three, or of a mysterious, abandoned ship named Moxie that is taken in by a small coastal town. From a child in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, to a garbage collector in Montana who is cornered into violence, Madsen guides readers through extreme and sometimes absurd examples of the human experience.
