You are FORSAKEN.
Your world is DOOMED.
Take back the reins of Destiny.
Take back your future.
Before the cruel spiral of entrop eats you whole.

It's been tough going for small publishers for a while, but they continue to publish a lot of the most exciting new work, and are the main supporters of the short story as a form. Support indie publishing when you can!
