If this sounds like our present day lives, it is, just ratcheted up a few dozen notches. Lurking underneath the stories is the reality that we humans simply take ourselves far too seriously, and it might behoove us to lighten up before the you-know-what hits the fan. \u003cem\u003eFractured Fictions\u003c\/em\u003e is Mik Dietlin's second story collection, and is his most absurdist writing yet. It includes the novella \u003cem\u003eGummy Worm Mind Invasion\u003c\/em\u003e, a near-futuristic look at what happens when a science writer's immovable skepticism collides head-on with supernatural forces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46447951118487,"sku":"9798215153413","price":859.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798215153413.webp?v=1769142279","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fractured-fictions-9798215153413","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
