Dark and Imaginative Fiction
I've been thinking of pigmassacre a lot lately, ever since I picked up a copy of Borderlands 3.
Dark fiction is something that brings back memories of Terrell Street -- the place where I was first introduced to the Borderlands series. My friend Pynk kept all manner of macabre games and books, so it's no surprise that he discovered some of the more imaginative books of the genre. Not all of the stories in Monteleone's series are great, but he does a good job of finding fresh ideas. The Borderlands series is a limited edition run, however. So it's a rare pleasure to find a copy of one of the five books.
Slightly easier to come by is the good stuff over at pseudopod.org. Pynk edits the podcast under very much the same rules as Monteleone, and there are enough up and coming writers to keep a good dark story coming out every week or so.
