Table of Contents: EXIGENCIES edited by Richard Thomas
Here’s the table of contents for the upcoming short story collection, Exigencies, from Dark House Press, coming up in April, with gorgeous cover art by Daniele Serra and foreword by Chuck Wendig.
About the collection:
Exigencies is an anthology of 23 original neo-noir stories by emerging and established authors that blend literary fiction, fantasy, science fiction, horror, and crime in order to explore an exigency-a desire or need, a crisis, a tipping point. The writing is a hybrid of page turning narratives, layered introspection, and immersive settings, showcasing some of the best new writers of neo-noir.
