Dark Matter Magazine's 30 Darkest Stories
Every story published in Dark Matter Magazine is a best-of story to us, and that's why we had to do something different when choosing stories for the magazine's first ever trade paperback anthology. Enter ZERO DARK THIRTY, a curated collection of the 30 DARKEST stories to haunt our magazine's pages during the first two years of publication (2021-2022). These are the most depressing and deranged tales the magazine has to offer. Enter if you must, but beware.
