Uncanny Magazine ·

2024/05/07

Hollywood’s highest-paid actress for the last two years breaks up with me thirty seconds before I jump out a window. Secrets have never been Adelle Tremaine’s style. She lives for drama even off the stage. So when she storms onto the set, makeup smeared and heels dangling from one white-knuckled fist, I know there’s a […] The post Mirage in Double Vision appeared first on Uncanny Magazine.

Uncanny Magazine ·

2024/05/07

Three Faces of a Beheading

Uncanny Magazine ·

2024/05/07

Bloodsoaked and grinning, the Soldier climbs to the summit of the ruins. The wind is mountain-top fast. It grabs the strands of her hair that have escaped her ponytail and sticks them to her ecstatic mouth: the slick surface of teeth, the gloss-wet of lipstain. She stands up straight and the wind lights her up. […] The post Three Faces of a Beheading appeared first on Uncanny Magazine.
