Immediately following Teeth was another great story. This time, J. J. O. Cilione brought us It's All in the Contract. There's quite a bit going on in this story as well. I could tell you there are themes of gluttony and greed. I could tell you there's a lesson about reading the fine print in contracts, but....I've said too much already. Get the magazine.

Don't forget, Sonoran Horror as well as a number of other publications from Aphotic Realm are available for Kindle download, or paperback purchase over at Amazon. For example; you may recall me mentioning our May 2023 magazine issue. It had a number of great stories within its pages. You may recognize Joachim Heijndermans from a number of other publications as well as other media sources. For the May 2023 issue, he provided us with Teeth. Teeth is a great tale of what happens when hubris is left unchecked and humans tamper with technology they aren't ready for.

During the call for submissions that would eventually lead to our May 2023 release, we were presented with a lot of great comic strips. Two such submissions came from a team lead by author John Crowther. Both strips elicited feelings of nostalgia for me (Chris) as I have a love for comics. These strips were very well drawn and written, and equally fun to read. Find this issue on Amazon and see for yourself.
