A small collection of dark science fiction by Bram Stoker Award-winning author Michael Bailey. Includes "Darkroom" and "SAD Face" (novelettes), and "Fade to Black" (short story).DARKROOM: After living most of her life blindfolded, for fear of what she might see, Grace shifts though time in a series of strange experiments involving old-fashioned black-and-white photography in order to create a flipbook of her father aging in reverse. Near completion of her project, and no longer able to go through with it on her own, she brings along her likewise blindfolded and temporarily deafened sister, for fear of what they might also hear in their travels, and together they take snapshots, wandering their childhood home, hand-in-hand, albeit with added disabilities to protect them from that which doesn't hide so well in the past. The undeveloped, they soon discover, what they'd forgotten of their troubled youth, is perhaps more frightening than what they later develop in the darkroom. SAD FACE: Yuliya dons a prosthetic face designed to help her cope with Social Anxiety Disorder, the essential oil infused mask not only disguising her expression, but the wet city stench as it soothes. Time, it can only stop when someone takes a photo, and that's what they did, whoever made it; they took her picture and made her a mask to hide behind whenever social phobia bullied her. A dead-face: expressionless, eyes only visible through open sockets, mouth slightly parted; the way she imagined she'd look the day she died. And now, whenever someone sees her, or stares at her, wearing her Yuliya mask, they are looking at her past. Yet behind her SAD face, she sometimes finds confidence, until she takes it off to uncover the woman hiding beneath.FADE TO BLACK: A bonus short story that explores optophobia, the fear of opening one's eyes.

Great condition, looks smudged in pictures, but that’s just how the cover is. 

Brewster Gilligan, an underachieving genius, believes that his loss on a television quiz show is the worst thing to ever happen to him. Little does he know that the phrase he answered with, a bit of trivia he remembered from his dead grandfather, was a scrap of forbidden knowledge that would trigger a cabal of dangerous immortals to hunt him down.

From USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Jeremy Bates comes the second book in the all-new WORLD'S SCARIEST LEGENDS series. In 1954, at the start of the Cold War, the Soviet military offered four political prisoners their freedom if they participated in an experiment requiring them to remain awake for fourteen days while under the influence of a powerful stimulant gas. The prisoners ultimately reverted to murder, self-mutilation, and madness. None survived. In 2018, Dr. Roy Wallis, an esteemed psychology professor at UC Berkeley, is attempting to recreate the same experiment during the summer break in a soon-to-be demolished building on campus. He and two student assistants share an eight-hour rotational schedule to observe their young Australian test subjects around the clock. What begins innocently enough, however, morphs into a nightmare beyond description that no one could have imagined--with, perhaps, the exception of Dr. Roy Wallis himself.

The debut collection from Kev Harrison, author of THE BALANCE, this tome brings together tales of ghosts in the machine, folkloric creatures let loose, abandoned places and dystopian nightmares. Containing thirteen stories - three of which are previously unpublished, with three others never before available in print, take your first tentative step onto the PATHS BEST LEFT UNTRODDEN. Early praise for PATHS BEST LEFT UNTRODDEN:

'Wildly entertaining, deeply unsettling and utterly beguiling. These aren't just stories - they're ghosts, phantoms and revenants - all of which will continue to haunt long after reading.' - Ross Jeffery Bram Stoker Nominated author of JUNIPER and TOME.

'The breadth and depth of imagination showcased here invite comparison with classics like King's Night Shift, as well as more recent releases like Tananarive Due's Ghost Summer. But Harrison, ultimately, dances to the beat of a drum that's all his own.' - TC Parker, author of SALT BLOOD, A PRESS OF FEATHERS and SALVATION SPRING

'Kev Harrison's fiction disturbs and unsettles readers in equal measure. His stories smoulder in your mind, horrific burning embers. Don't take your eyes off this writer, he's getting better and better.' - Dan Howarth, author of DARK MISSIVES

ALL NEW EDITION WITH BONUS STORY, "THE FIX". Perry Samson loves drugs. He'll take what he can get, but raw atlys is his passion. Shot hard and fast into his testicles, atlys helps him forget that he lives in an abandoned Baltimore school, that his roommate exchanges lumps of flesh for drugs at the Kum Den Smokehouse, and that every day is a moldering motley of whores, cuntcutters, and disease. Unfortunately, atlys never helps Perry forget that, even though his older brother died from an atlys overdose, he will never stop being the tortured middle child. Set in 2099, THE GREEN KANGAROOS explores the disgusting world of Perry's addiction to atlys and the Samson family's addiction to his sobriety. "I write junkie fiction. I read and watch junkie fiction. Call it a lifestyle choice. I honestly didn't think I'd discover anything new under the sun when it came to the genre. I was wrong. Green Kangaroos is the freshest, most wholly original work I've come across concerning the subject of addiction. Think Requiem for a Dream meets Cabin in the Woods, only funnier, fresher, and more harrowing. Potsticking makes krokodil seem like a good time. Jessica McHugh has crafted one mindfuck of a novel." --Joe Clifford, author of Junkie Love and Lamentation

Retired couple, Wolf and Chase O'Brian, discover a portal to another dimension, resulting in an unexpected series of amazing discoveries and adventures in a parallel world, called Talbeek. When a new human visitor, a Marine fighter pilot, finds his way into Talbeek, he is surreptitiously infected with an alien brain-infesting parasite by beings from a dying world in another parallel universe. Additional Marine fighter pilots from the Black Sheep Squadron in Yuma, Arizona, are subsequently infected and become the unwitting soldiers for the tiny alien invaders. The aliens, however, soon discover that humans are much more difficult to control than other species they have dominated and enslaved in the past.
