Exposed!

by Mike Heffernan, John Everson (Introduction), Paul Hughes (Editor)

expose, v.t. (F. exposer): To deprive of concealment; to discover; to lay open to public inspection, or bring to public notice.

Hope and promise are drowned in the black floodwaters of New Orleans and the churning concrete of expansion. The underclass is force-fed to the grinding machines of progress. Youth are slashed to ribbons by poverty. Autocratic governments sell addiction to the masses to numb them into complacency. Shopping sprees and material excess are the new cults. Reality television microwaves brains into plastic left-on-the-heater mush.

Liberation has a price only a few are willing to pay.

In Exposed!, a collection of horror fiction from Mike Heffernan, the smog clears just a bit, we're cut wide open like a vivisection and our dirty insides are on display.
