Enter a speculative universe where logic has been put on life-support, traditions have become useless appendages, and every character in these overtly farcical tales lives a hopelessly bewildered existence, carried along by a laughably dysfunctioning self-awareness antithetical to his or her well-being. 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. Fractured Fictions is Mik Dietlin’s second story collection, and is his most absurdist writing yet. It includes the novella Gummy Worm Mind Invasion, a near-futuristic look at what happens when a science writer’s immovable skepticism collides head-on with supernatural forces.
