Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A surreal, darkly funny collection of sci-fi satire and absurdist short fiction.The Sodium Curtain and Other Broken Realities is a new Dystopocon anthology from Cody Poston, featuring seventeen stories where dark humor, speculative fiction, and satire collide. Each piece begins with something ordinary-a work meeting, a childhood memory, a broken appliance-and spirals into a world that's stranger, sharper, and uncomfortably honest.Inside these pages you'll find humorous science fiction, satirical sci-fi short stories, absurdist speculative fiction, and dark humor threaded through every surreal detour.Stories include:It's Easy Being Green - a fallen mascot reimagined as a fading celebrity trying to outrun his own myth.Some Assembly Required - workplace romance and corporate nonsense collide in a lab built on bad decisions.Lux and the Sleeping Star - a cosmic fable about loss, loyalty, and the fracture lines between worlds.ThunderTalk Ep.139 - Gilman - a paranormal radio broadcast that's equal parts hilarious and haunting.CHiPs Happens - a cop drama unraveled into spectacular, genre-breaking chaos.The Aquarium Broke, and So Did Time - a surreal workplace disaster that bends reality and pushes one employee too far.POWNED: Starch, Sovereignty, and the Sodium Curtain - a snack-food rebellion that becomes a national crisis.Talking cats, imaginary friends, cosmic anomalies, bureaucratic nightmares, and cryptids with microphones-these aren't escapes from reality. They're new ways of seeing it.Perfect for readers of Black Mirror, Kurt Vonnegut, weird fiction, surreal humor, workplace satire, and humorous science fiction short stories.
