Quanta Obscura:
Speculative Short Stories
Within these pages you will find a pinhole view to many worlds. Nine speculative stories coalesce around themes of deceit and manipulation, awareness and struggle. Stories that slide sideways into peculiar reflections of our past, present, and future, illuminating their dangers and dark designs. Devious algorithms… gloom-laden Ponzi schemes… post-war horror… distorted societies… malevolent monsters… and more. Threats to life and liberty, heart and soul. This collection projects a brazen light onto the shadowed surfaces of virtue and character.
Quanta Obscura brings together a thought-provoking collection of speculative short stories created by new and award-winning authors.
