It’s almost reality. From worlds only slightly stranger than yours, the stories in this book reveal the nightmares in your neighborhood, the beasts from your basement, and the sickening side-effects of your own medicine. Drawn from the chaotic first months of Acidic Fiction, this anthology collects the best and boldest contemporary science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories from Fall 2014. Featuring 14 corrosive chronicles by Aline Carriere, Yegor Chekmarev, Jean Davis, Daniel Devine, H. C. Duncan, Charles Ebert, Sierra July, Simon Kewin, Sean Moreland, Fredrick Obermeyer, P. R. O'Leary, Madeline Popelka, A. P. Sessler, and Julio Toro San Martin. These 14 stories, selected and edited by Steven x Davis, contain a fascinating variety of voices and ideas from every corner of contemporary speculative fiction, all with an acidic bite.
