Fractum Ostium

Are you a fan of the Netflix series Black Mirror? This collection of short stories will transport you to a world eerily reminiscent of it. Grab your favorite beverage, some snacks and dive into a frequently dystopian, sometimes humorous and occasionally scary world.

The title of this book means 'broken door' in Latin, and within these pages you'll definitely find doorways to other worlds, some of them broken and some... perhaps better left closed. Dive through a wormhole into the interstellar adventure of Anomalies, or visit the international space station in the surreal Patchouli Puke. Empathize with the protagonist in Five Minutes From Now who knows when people are going to die, or learn how a life lived poorly can still ultimately make a difference in The Horizon Behind. Perhaps you're an action or horror fan? Then How Bhutan Became the World's Only Superpower, Stuck on Fairview Loop, and Repurposed are for you. Ever wonder what the afterlife is like? One very rich and very arrogant man finds out in On Ice, and it's not what he expected. Or dig into some satirical, and all too possible, political and social commentary in Who Owns It?, The Long Heavy Sigh, Perfect, and Plugged. How does a small boy react to being bullied? By discovering something he'd never even imagined in Cryptozoology. And for those of you who've read French Press Sludge, an old friend stops by to update us on his life in Apocalypse Football.
