My short story, "Babysitting," was published in the Winter 2005 edition of Apex Digest.

Review by Catherine Davis of Whispers of Wickedness:
 
"Christine W Murphy’s 'Babysitting' has feminist undertones in its plot of a man, John, sentenced to act as a husband to an alien, where he leads a housewifely existence looking after her children. It is not the cuddly, humorous tale this subject matter implies. Instead it is dark and surprising as the stories of John’s relationship with his alien family and his actions that led him to this situation are skilfully intertwined."

My short story, "Allergies," appeared in the premier issue of Apex Digest in March 2005.

There is a review of the premier issue of the Apex Digest at Tangent Online. And, at the bottom of this page Matthew M. Foster has written a marvelous review of my short story.
