Theme: Alfred Hitchcock

The Doll is Dead by Bo Balder
You thought dolls were creepy before this story? Just wait until after you read this. Even Hitch would consign all the dolls to the flames after this gleeful little tale.
All The Devils by Randal Keith Jackson **Featured Story**
Sometimes the gateway to hell lies within a dinner engagement. But sometimes, the gateway to hell lies within a man’s soul. In Hitch’s world, it’s a bit of both.

Nietzsche’s Children by William R. Eakin and Ron Wolfe
Neitsche and vengeance reunite a pair of college lovers after twenty-seven years, and Hitch could have made that get-together even more explosive.

The Little Man Who Wasn’t There by B. J. Leesman
Ever wonder what Hitchcock might have done with a time machine? Here’s a possible scenario right off Hitch’s own storyboards.

Penumbra eMag Magazine Description:

Penumbra is the speculative fiction e-mag published monthly by Musa Publishing. At Penumbra, the Muses are clustered in the part of the psyche caught between the darkness and the light. Whether that results in hardcore science fiction or fantasy humour, psychological horror or a Steampunk poem with a twist is out of the Muses' control.  That control is in the hands of the author.

Penumbra publishes speculative fiction that always culminates in something unexpected - a flash of humour in the darkest tale or a fantasy piece that goes against the tropes - always something that hovers right on the periphery of the eclipse.
