Enter a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, the surreal feels strikingly real, and endings are rarely happy. In DARK MATTERS, Rick Bobrick presents an original collection of 27 short stories written for adventurous minds and brave hearts.-each tale designed to take you on a trip far beyond your wildest imagination. Fast-paced, darkly whimsical, and thought-provoking, DARK MATTERS is a rollercoaster of flash fiction and short-form storytelling filled with unpredictable twists and turns, along with a healthy dose of bone-chilling terror.

Within these pages, you'll find skeletons with secrets, an activist judge on a mission, carnage on a lucky jetty, and billions of unwitting guinea pigs. Witness a father-daughter night out at the carnival and school kids clowning around. Encounter emotional incarceration, happiness in cyberspace, and meet the man who dared to disrespect time. From extraterrestrial salvation to messages from the beyond; from post-apocalyptic interventions to magical dream states, this unique collection of short stories challenges traditional genres. Read them with eyes wide open and you will be left with an adventurous mind well satisfied.
