Dark Matter Magazine Issue 002

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 second issue of Dark Matter Magazine boasts eight original dark science fiction stories, one reprint story, part one of an ongoing science fiction comic that will be published in serial form within the pages of future issues of Dark Matter, an essay on the overlap between comics and literature, two art features, and two dozen illustrations in full color.
