Science fiction asks "what if?" and follows the answer to its logical, often terrifying, occasionally beautiful conclusion. From generation ships to AI uprisings to first contact — the future is wide open and waiting.

Uilleam Whitedale

Uilleam Whitedale

After over three decades in El Paso, Texas, where he was a punk/Gothabilly fan - turned teacher, Uilleam Whitedale moved to northern New Jersey… and kept being a teacher. He is a little bit country, a little bit rock’n’roll, as the cliche goes, with a large dose of vegetarian tacos and salsa. Ten years later, although he’s always been a writer, he decided to try his hand at novels, under the pseudonym Uilleam Whitedale. He is a reader of nonfiction by constitution - political science, psychology, philosophy, etc - but incorporates that knowledge into his stories. He’s also a huge horror movie fan. Splice those things together and you get his writing style. He owns a Substack called Whitedale, where he posts unedited material, poetry, and kid’s/MG flash fiction. Whitedale is a member of the Dark Veil Society, a supportive collective of indie horror authors.

24 Hours to Forget

Filipe Silva

<p>Book Review</p><p>Personal Copy </p><p>⭐️⭐️⭐️💫</p><p>24 Hours to Forget by Filipe Silva</p><p>Thank you, Filipe and InsideStory, for allowing me to read this.</p><p>This was a short, fast-paced story that pulled me in almost immediately. At first, partly because it reminded me so much of another book I read years ago, and I was dying to see where this one was going.</p><p>Well… it went places. </p><p>Things took some pretty unexpected turns very quickly, and I was intrigued. But just when I felt like I was getting close to figuring things out, the weirdness started getting to me—and I’m still trying to decide whether that belongs in my I like it box or my what the hell did I just read? box.</p><p>At one point, I genuinely wondered if my own brain was playing tricks on me or if I was simply reading too fast to comprehend what was happening. Maybe that was the point. If so, mission accomplished.</p><p>I felt like I was being left in the dark before I even had the chance to get my head around everything. Intentional, I’m sure, but it definitely left me unsettled. I’ve probably come up with about 20 different explanations in my head by now… and somehow, I still don’t have an answer.</p><p>And no, I’m not giving you spoilers. I never do. </p><p>So, 3.5 unsettling stars from me. I’m someone who needs at least some closure, and this one definitely tested that part of my personality.</p><p>But if you’re looking for something short, fast-paced, strange, and guaranteed to make you question your own sanity for a little while, this might be one to squeeze in.</p><p>Just don’t blame me if you finish it and immediately start questioning everything. </p>

This is a great anthology! Many of these writers have been on my tbr for a while, but I have not read anything by them yet. I wanted to read this one because Jed Kent is one of my go-to authors and he never disappoints. Now I will be moving several of these writers up on my tbr! Some wonderfully written stories in this anthology, all joined together by Valentine's Day chocolates. If you are a fan of horror or thrillers, this is a great anthology!

This book was gripping. I love seeing authors coming together to bring us spooky-goodness. I highly recommend this book.
