What Doctor Gottlieb Saw by Ian Tregillis

Do you suppose it’s possible to murder God?”


Gretel was Gottlieb’s most troubling patient. She was clairvoyant. She was also, he feared, quite mad."
I've been planning on reading this book for quite a while now. I'll read this short story first. I am heartened with how new authors are using the internet to stay visible in a crowded marketplace.

“What Doctor Gottlieb Saw” takes place roughly 18 months before the events in Chapter 1 of Bitter Seeds. (So it takes place maybe 17 years after the prologue, which you can read for free here.) I wrote it entirely as a standalone, so it doesn’t require any foreknowledge of Bitter Seeds.
Tregillis isn't marketing his book so much as he is creating a reader-friendly environment that satisfies the curiosity of anyone even mildly interested in his book.
