Campfire at the Crossroads: An Anthology of Dark Fantasy and Sci-Fi

The fire burns. The veil thins. Come and stay a while in the in-between.Stories flicker like embers in the dark - brief and searing - at the crossroads of reality and the unknown. This anthology of dark fantasy and sci-fi fiction holds unknown myths, unsettling dreams, and uncanny wonders for those who dare to take them in, down here at the edge of all things.Some of the tales include: Wrestling through a brutal storm on a frozen mountainside, a lone climber feels someone watching her from the whiteout. She knows there's no one out there. She also knows she's wrong.In the neon-choked slums of a corp-state, three hackers choose three different paths - but any way at all will cost them. In a world like this, survival is an algorithm of its own.The concert of a young woman's life turns into a waking nightmare when the music is cut short by what sounds like a gunshot. It could be a killer. What it is, and what it means... is much worse.A hunter tracks a missing person to an old stone bridge, expecting to find a werewolf. But what's hiding away there isn't a werewolf - and it isn't done hunting.To save the world (she tells herself), one young woman built YMIR: a path into the collective unconscious. To finish her work (they tell her), she must destroy the only person who ever truly understood her - and hang him in the stars.Gather round, and lean in close. The fire won't last forever.
