Dark Distortions I is a new kind of anthology. Not just horror and not just short stories. In a market that too often pigeonholes readers into prioritizing their tastes, a natural question arises. Why? As everything from fast food to insurance is becoming more customer friendly allowing you to choose everything from pickles to identity theft coverage, why couldn't the small press answer in a similar fashion? We are readers and we wanted variety. Dark Distortions I contains dark fiction for adult readers varying in length and style from poetry to novellas. With over 580 prose heavy pages, twenty-eight authors and two featured young authors there should
be something for everyone who understands that rose colored glasses may simply be splattered with
blood... ___________________________
WHAT REVIEWERS HAVE HAD TO SAY SO FAR...
“Should you choose to read DARK DISTORTIONS – the inaugural release of indie publisher Scotopia Press – it’s a near-guarantee that the book will undergo a transformation in the process, from a mint-condition paperback of considerable heft to a dog-eared stack of no-longer-solid-white pages, stuck between peeling covers. It’s my own fault, really. So into its nearly 600 pages of brand-new dark fiction I was that I took it everywhere I went: to breakfast, to bed, to work, to the park, in the car. I put it through the ringer, but several of its stories did the same to me. I knew not a single name of the 30 or so authors involved in this anthology, but now there are several I’d like to follow.â€

“Reading this anthology put me in the mind of a hapless victim of that most evil of books, the Necronomicron. Like some Lovecraftian character, I found myself thoroughly revolted at some some of the things I read of in these pages. And yet, I was entranced by the words and never considered putting the book down. These stories hold a strange power to lead you forward into a flavor of entertainment you might never have imagined before you opened the book. If you have a predilection for dark tales, and you think you are up to it, Dark Distortions I belongs in your collection.â€
