Black Denim Lit v1 #2 March, 2014

Black Denim Lit, v1 #2 March, 2014 features three new short stories with insight into those who face dark dread from the world and from within. First, "The Way to Shangri-La" by David W. Landrum. From the story: "Your calling to live in an ashram and pursue a certain type of spiritual attainment is at an end. You have come on this pilgrimage to find new direction. Your calling has changed." Second, "Scent of Darkness" by Ted Morrissey. From the story: "It seemed to absorb the dark of night so that in dawn’s twilight it appeared more than merely black but an actual void, an emptiness in the air that one might step through into another place altogether, like Alice’s rabbit-hole." Then, "800" by Sean Monaghan. From the story: "It is an old thing. The kind of machine that was innovative a hundred years ago, but now is pretty left behind. I like to keep it on hand just to see how the old markets are doing. They never do very well, but I still have money out there, locked away."
