The Sodium Curtain and Other Broken Realities (Dystopocon Anthologies, Band 3) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A surreal, darkly funny collection of sci-fi satire and absurdist short fiction. The Sodium Curtain and Other Broken Realities is a new Dystopocon anthology from Cody Poston, featuring seventeen stories where dark humor, speculative fiction, and satire collide. Each piece begins with something ordinary: a work meeting, a childhood memory, a broken appliance, and spirals into a world that's stranger, sharper, and uncomfortably honest. Inside these pages you'll find humorous science fiction, satirical sci-fi short stories, absurdist speculative fiction, and dark humor threaded through every surreal detour. Stories include: It's Easy Being Green: a fallen mascot reimagined as a fading celebrity trying to outrun his own myth. Some Assembly Required: workplace romance and corporate nonsense collide in a lab built on bad decisions. Lux and the Sleeping Star: a cosmic fable about loss, loyalty, and the fracture lines between worlds. ThunderTalk Ep.139, Gilman: a paranormal radio broadcast that's equal parts hilarious and haunting. CHiPs Happens: a cop drama unraveled into spectacular, genre-breaking chaos. The Aquarium Broke, and So Did Time: a surreal workplace disaster that bends reality and pushes one employee too far. POWNED: Starch, Sovereignty, and the Sodium Curtain: a snack-food rebellion that becomes a national crisis. Talking cats, imaginary friends, cosmic anomalies, bureaucratic nightmares, and cryptids with microphones: these aren't escapes from reality. They're new ways of seeing it.
