Terrafide: Tales from the Edge of Sci-fi, Horror, & Humor

Reality is already strange. Terrafide pushes it over the edge.

In Terrafide: Tales from the Edge of Sci-Fi, Horror, & Humor, everyday lives collide with the bizarre, the terrifying, and the absurd. This genre-bending collection explores a universe that looks unsettlingly like our own-until it doesn't.

A burned-out checkout clerk caring for her senile mother rethinks retail hell. A haunted police officer confronts an alien invasion he can't outrun. A scientist fighting to save her marriage may also be humanity's last hope. A washed-up punk band reunites in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. A tourist app matches two strangers with a murder to solve. An exterminator plots to restore his hometown's radioactive "glory days." A humanlike machine balances a headache with control of the solar system. And a used car dealership's cutthroat sales tactics turn lethally real.

Part Black Mirror, part Stranger Things, part Saturday Night Live, Hyatt delivers sharp, darkly funny stories that thrill, unsettle, and linger-proving why Fanbase Press calls him "one of the greatest new authors of dystopian fiction."
