Dark Matters: Absences

Give heed to predictions of impending apocalypse! Inspired by two classics - Daphne du Maurier's "The Birds" and John Christopher's "The Death of Grass", Dark Matters: ABSENCES presents a pair of stories in which unexpected loss signals the imminent end of the world we hold dear.

In The lines, the trees, the cliffs, the eaves, catch four glimpses of a world in which the disappearance of one little thing – or, rather, billions of them - leaves all of humanity changed forever.

And in The Blade, you'll discover first-hand the pain suffering unleashed by a dying world is as nothing compared to the pain we can inflict upon ourselves.
