Horror DNA reviews OBSOLESCENCE

Horror DNA Reviews OBSOLESCENCE

Horror DNA recently poster their review of our anthology, OBSOLESCENCE, edited by Alan Lastufka and Kristina Horner.

They gave the book a perfect 5 out of 5 star rating, saying:

Technology’s role as a double-edged sword is an often-explored theme in horror. Many writers have examined what happens when tech overwhelms humanity. In the anthology Obsolescence, editors Alan Lastufka and Kristina Horner bring a variety of terrifically frightening stories that explore the role of tech in the world and the myriad ways the theme can be interpreted.

This is a rare anthology where every story is a hit. Veteran talents bring some of their strongest work alongside newcomers whose stories are more than strong enough to stand with the giants. Obsolescence is one of the most well-curated anthologies in recent history and an absolutely exquisite reminder that what we rely on most can easily turn on us at the worst times.
