Suspended in Dusk II has arrived!

[image error]

Suspended In Dusk II has finally arrived! I’m very pleased with this anthology. The paperback edition is one of the nicest and most well-made small press books I’ve ever held in my hot little hands. Special thanks go to Grey Matter Press for its lovely production!

The anthology features an introduction from the amazing Angela Slatter and stories from:

Karen Runge, Damien An

Quotes by Simon Dewar (?)

“We wouldn’t let our dogs and cats suffer like this but we’ll happily put our own parents away to wither and waste into ignominy and despair. They deteriorate to frightened babes again as everything they’ve ever been deserts them, and we think it’s the humane, moral thing to do, to let that happen.”
― Simon Dewar, Suspended In Dusk

“They’d tried automatically generating the stories in response to the figures but had ended up with nonsense—one scenario suggested by the computer was that a gang of toddlers had terrorised a war veteran with a syringe full of HIV positive blood.”
