Obsolescence: A Dark Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror Anthology

By Alan Lastufka and Kristina Horner

Book Overview

27 Brand-New Tales of Technological Terror

All leaps in technology are scary. Mysterious. Misunderstood. Until they slowly creep into our daily lives and become impossible to get rid of, like an evolving parasite.

The unique camera lens that exposes hidden monsters. The blue-collar robot that would do anything to not become obsolete. The app that knows your needs better than you know them yourself.

In OBSOLESCENCE, technology gets repurposed, subverted, and redefined.

Featuring a special foreword by Naomi Grossman, star of American Horror Story.
