First published 2021
The future arrives with teeth bared and claws extended in this collection of twenty-two terror tales. Bram Stoker Award winners and rising stars craft visions of tomorrow's nightmares, where humanity's deepest fears take shape in concrete horrors. Penn Jillette contributes "The Pain Doctor," a wickedly twisted story that found new life on television before landing in these pages. Each author explores a different facet of modern horror, from quiet psychological unraveling to full-throttle supernatural chaos. The stories span the spectrum from literary chills to pulp thrills, but they share one certainty: the worst is yet to come. These are not gentle science fiction tales seasoned with mild dread. They are unflinching glimpses into futures where humanity confronts the unknown and loses. The pain of yesterday pales beside what tomorrow holds.
