Zero Mirrors : H. C. Turk
In a society where your garment is your shelter and dancing is illegal, a young woman must Sashay through time to save her land from a Plant Plague.
EasyLiving City is the outcome of a Plant Pandemic caused by merging plant growth with modern construction methods. The most important structure here is a grounded space vessel called the Tree.
To protect Plague fighters, high-tech garments were created: semi-sentient Wearable Assertive Data-Integrators (WADs). Melony, a City Sashayer, wears a WAD, though she doesn’t understand its function. It was made for her by her mother, Blinda, the Tree’s engineer.
Blinda’s nemesis, Robben, is Melony’s companion. Robben is a kidult: an adult who had his body modified so he’s the size of a child. Robben exhibits the personality of a child one moment, and the experience of an adult the next.
When the Plague starts overcoming the City, Blinda explains how to solve this by returning time to an era prior to the infection. This can only be accomplished by Melony and her WAD, which is connected to the Tree’s drive bay. By enabling space travel without duration, the drive bay is effectively a time machine. All Melony has to do is prance time backwards level by level (which seems impossible). At the top she will find her mother, or the end.

Beyond The Inferno : Alex L Moretti
What if the fires of ancient love burned so strong you’d traverse three realms of the afterlife in a bid to save mankind from spiritual destruction, for one last kiss with your dead lover? Even if it was she who plunged you into the depths of Hell, the terrifying, blazing Inferno, to witness the punishment of sin in all its barbarity, cruelty and horror. While you were still alive…
“This adaptation could well become the book that everyone has been searching for, narrating the fantastic story in a modern yet erudite way.” Olivia Eisinger – Editor at Large
Beyond The Inferno is an immersive, engaging and atmospheric novelisation of Dante’s timeless classic The Divine Comedy, a seminal piece of literature ripe for rediscovery. Using elegant and eloquent language to appeal to a contemporary audience thirsty for the story but uncomfortable with the archaic style and cadence of classical prose, Beyond The Inferno is an adult adventure down a dark and dangerous rabbit hole; a vivid representation of brutality, torture, misery, love, beauty and perfection, stirring all five senses. This high-end literary fiction aims to resonate with a new, global readership at a time of moral and political decay, revealing fascinating similarities between the corruption and depravity, brutality and beauty of ancient civilisations and the modern world.
Thrust into the bedlam and chaos that is The Dark Wood, lowly hero Dante is distraught for he suspects this bleak, black forest is a portal to the Underworld; a terrifying, apocalyptic realm wherein echo the chilling screams of eternal suffering, where all are dead when he is alive, a place which, he expects, does not lead to salvation. Dante is presented with a gift from Heaven, the Roman poet Virgil, he who is wisdom and reason personified, sent to guide him through the three realms of the afterlife where no living soul has ever journeyed for, unbeknown to him, he is on a quest to save mankind from spiritual destruction. The promise of a reunion with his dead lover, Beatrice, motivates him to triumph yet, as a seed of Adam, Dante is open to temptation and failure.
First, he must descend through the terrifying Inferno, an apocalyptic, inhumane prison of misery and woe to witness the punishment of sin in its most brutal and nefarious forms. This dark realm of the phantasmagorical hosts, demons and dragons, behemoths and giants, serpents and she-wolves. Residing for eternity in the infernal city of despair are sinners; corrupt, deviant malefactors all guarded and tormented by sadistic ferrymen, soul snatchers, goddesses of vengeance and the cursed crew of the Damned. He observes barbaric and violent torture including flagellation by fire where the dead burn alive, scalding in rivers of boiling blood, roasting and melting in blazing tombs, drowning in bubbling pits of tar. The welcome chill of an icy tundra as he ventures into the core of the nine circles belies a grotesque. For Dante is set for a propitious encounter with the origin of all that is evil; Hell’s Monarch, once Lucifer now Satan; Emperor of the Universe of Pain.
The Divine Comedy’s underlying theme – that corruption of the Church and religious apathy threatens the spiritual stability of mankind – serves as a pertinent metaphor for the modern reader and is a timely reminder of the fragility of humanity; its ruination driven by personal indifference, political and corporate degeneracy and the Establishment’s surrendering of its moral compass.
Alex L Moretti’s debut novel Beyond The Inferno was inspired by some of the greatest and most recognisable works of art from masters including Boticelli, Rodin and Doré. It was Dante’s graphic poem, Inferno, which influenced Renaissance artists and transformed their creative depictions of Hell from barren landscapes to shocking, horrific, explicit and occasionally tender pieces, dramatically portraying the punishment of sin and torturous suffering of humankind.

Half-Cut : Arnold Eslava-Grünwaldt
Detectives from the Yonkers Police Department in New York find the victim of an apparent heart attack with the hair on the right side of his head shaved off. Although odd and out of place, the haircut doesn’t appear to be tied to the man’s death and the detectives put the case to rest.
Days later, however, they learn that the man with the unconventional haircut may have been the victim of arsenic poisoning and set out to investigate. Before they get very far, a witness goes missing and another dead man surfaces with the same hairdo.
Eventually, the detectives uncover a connection to a long-forgotten tragedy and, under the direction of their supervisor—Detective Sergeant Hamilcar “Ham” Hitchcock—work tirelessly to connect the dots and identify the killer or killers involved.
In the end, they discover, much to their dismay, that they’re not immune to tragedy themselves.
