Choices. Every decision we make has consequences.

It sets off a chain reaction that can lead to greatness, or—in the case of many characters in the stories on these pages—it can lead to pain, heartbreak, and even death.

Choices can come in moments of weakness, where emotions outpace logic, and we say or do things that we ultimately regret. They can come in the form of life or death options. Choices can lead to sacrifice or selfishness.Authors Han Adcock, Diane Arrelle, Benjamin Blake, Victoria Dalpe, Alan Derosby, Arlen Feldman, Juliet Harper, Robert J. Mendenhall, Matthew Nichols, Samantha Pilecki, Matthew D. Saeman, Nicole Tanquary, and Zugay Trevino crafted stories in which people who, in a life-changing moment, make decisions with unforeseen consequences that change their lives and the lives of those around them.

Praise for Ink Stains

"Wow! This anthology of Dark Fiction really packs a punch! Ten strong stories without a dud in the bunch. This is my first brush with Dark Alley Press and I sure hope it won’t be the last because they are bringing some serious talent to the table. " Brian James Lewis, Hellnotes.com

About Ink Stains

Ink Stains, a quarterly dark fiction and horror anthology published by Dark Alley Press, is about shining a stark light on the shadows of life, exploring those dimly lit corridors, and unearthing those long-buried secrets. We are about examining the human existence and the human psyche in its raw, delicate, and dangerous state. We don’t shy away from controversy, nor do we believe good will always triumph over evil or that someone will always be around to save the day. Sometimes all we have is ourselves. And the stories that keep us turning the page.

Ink Stains, a dark fiction literary anthology series is a horror story collection that is sure to keep you up at night…

Visions VII: Universe Aug 10, 2017

by Carrol Fix

( 1 )

$3.85

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
~ William Shakespeare

Our Vision is limitless!
The Visions Series tells the story of how humanity must ultimately venture outward from our tiny home and explore the Universe.
Visions VII: Universe, the final volume, opens the doors to incredible possibilities for the race called Human. We venture into realms where the impossible becomes fact.
Visions: Leaving Earth, the first volume, describes our first faltering steps to rise from Earth’s surface and build homes in space. Visions II: Moons of Saturn confirms humankind’s success in leaving Earth and building homes in the other planetary systems circling our sun-father Sol. Visions III: Inside the Kuiper Belt proclaims domination of all that dwells within the solar system—from our Sun to the outermost reaches of the Kuiper Belt and into the Oort Cloud. Visions IV: Space Between Stars astounds us with the infinite possibilities of adventure and danger far from any suns or planets— in the cold, dark regions of deepest space, where dark matter and nebulas of celestial gases abide. Visions V: Milky Way leads us to explore our own galaxy. Although vast and unreachable with current technology, the Milky Way is but a tiny point in the Universe. We must first learn about our own home galaxy before we can explore further outward to other galaxies. Visions VI: Galaxies follows human progress into other galaxies. Humankind survives to spread across the Universe, making distant galaxies and planets into a home for a race destined to seek horizons ever more far away.
