Clowns: The Unlikely Coulrophobia Remix is Unlikely Story‘s first print anthology, featuring twenty-two flash fiction tales penned by many of today’s rising stars of the speculative fiction genre, including Mari Ness, Cassandra Khaw, Cate Gardner, Evan Dicken, and Charles Payseur, among others. Along with a smattering of mimes and jesters, this anthology tackles clowns in all their forms.
