Dark Hilarity: Joseph Sale
Tara Dufrain and Nicola Morgan are eleven-year-old girls growing up in the ‘90s, obsessed by Valentine Killshot, a metal screamo band. In particular, they’re enamoured by the lead singer, the mysterious yet charismatic Jed Maine who bears the epithet “The Cretin”. In Jed’s lyrics, he describes a world beyond the Dark Stars that he hopes one day to reach. The girls think it’s all just make-believe they share together until a freak, traumatic incident makes this world very real.
As adults, Tara and Nicola try to come to terms with the devastating catastrophe that changed their lives growing up, but to do so they will have to step once more into Jed Maine’s world and confront the man who took everything from them.

Algorithm Of The Gods: S.C. Mendes & Nikki Noir
There is an algorithm for fame, but beware its terms and conditions…
While searching for a missing YouTuber, private investigator Spencer Hardy walks into a standoff between an armed man and a young woman. Within seconds, Spencer is forced to kill the man, but the damsel in distress in anything but…
Her name is Cassie Diaz and she wastes no time lighting the corpse on fire, explaining that if they leave any evidence, they’ll be dead before sunset.
As they flee, Cassie weaves a fantastic tale of online celebrities, virtual reality, and a black-market conspiracy with ties to high levels of government officials.
Spencer isn’t sure if he’s been led astray by a mentally ill woman or if an evil agency is nipping at his heels, and there’s only twenty-four hours left for him to unravel the truth and solve the case.

Ben Walker
Ben got a taste for terror after sneaking downstairs to watch The Thing from behind the sofa at age 9. He’s a big fan of extreme & bizarre horror and well as more psychological frights, and most things in between. When he’s not reading, he’s writing, and when he’s not writing he’s on Twitter @BensNotWriting or reviewing books on his YouTube channel, BLURB.
