Greetings, travelers, and welcome to another week of Otherworldly goodness. We’re getting weird and twisted right out of the gate this week with a creepy, dark set of stories that will set your spine tingling, and give you gooseflesh! It’s the perfect time of year, as we near Halloween, to really embrace these kinds of escapes. I think you’ll agree as well, so read on to learn more about Sinister Stories and Twisted Tales: The Ultimate Anthology of Sci-Fi & Cosmic Horror.
Author Anthony L. Abraham has a penchant for creating stories that take what we know about technology—and what we can dream of that might be on its way—and crafting a dark façade around them. He’s already had one bolt of lightning strike with Tales of the Disembodied (as well as a collection of other stories), but he is about to catch it in a jar with his new anthology, Sinister Stories and Twisted Tales: The Ultimate Anthology of Sci-Fi & Cosmic Horror. Part of the winning formula is, of course, Abraham’s wonderful talent for telling catching stories with dark and strange surprises. But readers will also start to feel the connective tissue between stories, and that makes them feel that much more alive.
This is sci-fi and horror re-imagined, crafted with a lyrical flair that is both poetic and haunting. Fourteen spine-tingling tales weaving in and out of the same universe, the stories begin with life on Earth as we mostly know it, expanding on technology replacing organic matter such as “Lucky Tuky,” where an innovative new pet comes with a dark side. The collection probes the advances of technology and its impact on society throughout, creating compounding changes that lead to a future that will recognize as unfamiliar, set in spaces that are outside the universe we know, and featuring characters who don’t always seem wholly human.
