Invading aliens with advanced technology may make us obsolete, but not all of us want to be, and not all of us will succumb as easily to hopelessness as others…
My short story ‘Not Today’ is kicking off my 2023 publications with this horrifying short story of control and despair. It’s out now in Dark Recesses Press Vol 7 – Issue 18, with this equally horrifying cover!
Here are the opening lines:
“We’re kept in what used to be a zoo. The larger enclosures are filled with transportation cages; medium pens are divided with taut wire fencing soldered into cells. Metal panel roofs shut out the daylight, and shut in the sweat-seeped stench of unwashed bodies.“

In this issue, the editors offer up a fine array of works to tweak your mind, break your heart, and leave a shiver down your spine.
