We are thrilled to announce the release of “Black Dust“, a new short story by Ali Seay.
Raised in an orphanage, plagued by a mysterious black dust coating his body, Joe is a man alone. Bad things happen all around him, so he stays away from people—to protect them and himself.
Now Sister Mary, the closest thing to a parent he’s ever had, is dying. Joe races to reach her as the clock ticks down, knowing he’s walking into an inevitable, painful goodbye to the woman who reared him.
He’s not expecting a deathbed confession that reframes his entire life … and the curse that has stained it.
Available now in trade paperback and digital editions from most online booksellers and distributors, “Black Dust” is the latest story in our Tiny Terrors short fiction program.
