A collection of dark stories of speculative fiction. A mix of stories, mostly mystery and suspense with a speculative bent. Along with one straight up mystery that’s not speculative, and one straight up horror story.
In a future where memories are a commodity, bought, sold, swapped, stolen, etc., you never know what you might run across. How about a brutal murder? And the killer wants the evidence back.
That’s just one of the tales.
How about a future with a couple of creepy robot children? One woman only wants her son back, but she gets more than she bargains for.
In another story, a computer genius has a puzzle to solve. She helps a detective try and figure out why there were three seemingly accidental murders, and yet there are no bodies.
There’s a story in which a woman isn’t really sure whether she murdered her husband.
And the horror story? Well, is the woman crazy, or is something weird actually happening as she takes her flights of fantasy?
Definitely a dark collection of tales!
Think Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Philip K. Dick and Harlan Ellison, mixed with a little bit of Stephen King.
