Byways of Dark Possibility

Take a tour inside the twisted mind of dark speculative fiction writer Mark Hodgetts with these six stories of dark possibility. What price would you be prepared to pay to achieve your goals?

This statue (or is it Glover?) may be possessed by an unholy entity in the aptly named horror story, Statue. Big business, matched with big science, can deliver unexpected outcomes. Someone somewhere tried to cover the firebugs up, and the world has paid a terrible price. Discover what humanity is reduced to in the horror sci-fi story, Firebugs.

The most boring man in the world has a special purpose, but he is blissfully unaware of his importance until the world is shaken to its core, and he becomes interested in those around him with potentially devastating consequences in a strange tale called Faces. Finally, the story Clone imagines a dystopia where clones are seen and used as second-rate citizens. The ruling class has discovered the secret of living for centuries, but in doing so, they have lost their humanity. Get your copy today
