The tale of the Red Queen

Picture
I was delighted to be asked to contribute a short story to The Tale of the Red Queen and Other Stories. This anthology is a companion to The Dark Design debut album Twelve Tall Tales. It contains short stories, dribbles, dabbles, lyrics, photo-comics, illustrations, a heartfelt warning, letters, darkness, despair, time travel, possibly a demon or two, and some light comic relief – all part of an exploration of the nooks and crannies of The Dark Design universe.
With contributions by Neil Campbell, LM Cooke, Bonsart Bokel, Duke Box, and Nils Nisse Visser, as well as an introduction by Professor Elemental.
Count yourself lucky if this creative crucible of utmost splendidness leaves you none the wiser. The doomed few (you will recognise them by their permanently haunted eyes) who will fully comprehend the dire gloom of...actually, perhaps it would be better to follow Professor Elemental's advice and most decidedly NOT attempt to read this book. Go on, you know you want to. Is it really worth your immortal soul? Surely not! Resist the growing urge to open and read...resist...just a page or two?...resist...the teeniest peek can't hurt...resist...You'll be missing out to be sure...resist...res--ABANDON HOPE ALL YE WHO ENTER.
