Dark Matter Magazine Issue 001

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 inaugural issue of Dark Matter Magazine boasts eight original dark science fiction stories, one story in the original Spanish, one reprint story by a comic book star, an essay on the state of modern scientific ethics, three art features, and two dozen illustrations in full color and black and white.
