The occult world collides with the everyday. The underworld runs over. Wild "nature" smashes assumptions about "civilization." Old Worlds prey on the New. But some of the most devastating collisions occur between worlds within worlds…
Horrific Scribes Presents: Worlds Collide offers 25 works about horrifying confrontations between realms by Barry Charman, Iluka Chayan, Emmie Christie, Christopher Degni, Zary Fekete, Tracy Fritz, Katherine Garrison, P.N. Harrison, Jan-Andrew Henderson, Matt Hollingsworth, L.N. Hunter, Lene MacLeod, Thomas C. Mavroudis, Nenad Mitrović, Shawn Montgomery, Adam Murray, Jason Frederick Myers, Lira Palmer, Luke Ramer, Alistair Rey, Mario Senzale, Jeffery Scott Sims, E.W.H. Thornton, Maxim Volk, and Pamela Weis.
In "The Slide" by E.W.H. Thornton, a lecture about photography's special, possibly occult relationship with death brings its audience closer and closer to darkness.
In "Post Op" by Luke Ramer, the underworld of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll inspires a boy to experiment in ways that might be comical if they weren't so tragic. Well, maybe you'll laugh anyway.
In "Calypso" by Lira Palmer, a rare orchid lures a curious researcher into a realm of exploration with dangers that might come from the plant's hallucinogenic properties or might be related to more supernatural roots.
In "My Father, My Father" by Zary Fekete, a father and son using virtual reality for routine activities encounter what might be a powerful and deadly spirit from ancient lore.
In "Vote Abyss" by Barry Charman, humanity might very well elect its own annihilation.
And so many more collisions create so many more horrors…
