Contained within this anthology are dark stories and works of art that explore the shadow side of reality. They are disturbed works that journey hopelessly through the downtrodden fringes of society, across the deepest reaches of space, and into the darkest, most troubled corners of the mind. Enter if you must, but beware.




The third issue of Dark Matter Magazine boasts eight original dark science fiction stories, one reprint story, two art features, and two dozen illustrations in full color. The issue also includes a special interview with the creator of spoken word vinyl record company, Cadabra Records.
