And it's all packaged in a mind-bending, nesting-doll-like series of interlocking slipcases that must be seen to be believed.\u003cbr\u003eThere's \u003cb\u003eStephen Graham Jones\u003c\/b\u003e's eerie take on the alien abduction story, \u003cb\u003eMariana Enríquez\u003c\/b\u003e's haunting tale of childhood hijinks gone awry, and Jeffrey Ford on a writer who loses control of his characters. \u003cb\u003eNick Antosca\u003c\/b\u003e (cocreator of the award-winning TV series \u003ci\u003eThe Act\u003c\/i\u003e) spins out a novelette about the hidden horrors of wine country.

Hungarian writer \u003cb\u003eAttila Veres\u003c\/b\u003e proffers a dark take on the not-so-hidden sociopathy of multi-level marketing. And \u003cb\u003eErika T. Wurth\u003c\/b\u003e explores the dark gaps leading to other worlds. If that weren't enough: an excerpt from a new novel by \u003cb\u003eBrandon Hobson\u003c\/b\u003e; a chilling allegorical horror story by \u003cb\u003eSenaa Ahmad\u003c\/b\u003e; a Lovecraftian bildungsroman by\u003cb\u003e Lincoln Michel\u003c\/b\u003e; unsettling dream cities from \u003cb\u003eNick Mamatas\u003c\/b\u003e; \u003cb\u003eM.
