In Digital Nightmares, these questions are brought to life in terrifying detail.Whether it’s a new social media platform that manipulates your thoughts, a tech that promises to preserve your consciousness but traps you in eternal torment, or a malfunctioning virtual reality game that turns into a deadly trap, the stories in this collection push the boundaries of science fiction and psychological horror. They serve as a stark reminder of the dangers that lie hidden in the systems we so eagerly embrace.The stories you’ll encounter in Digital Nightmares delve into the unknown and challenge the very concept of what it means to be human in a world of rapidly advancing technology. With each page, the book immerses you deeper into the nightmare of a tech-driven future, where escape is impossible, and the consequences are irreversible.Prepare yourself for a collection that will leave you questioning your relationship with technology and wondering if we are truly in control—or if we are just pawns in the hands of machines.

Snow-Blind

Katharine Newlin Burt

A bit of a menage-a-quatre in a remote cabin in the wilderness as fugitive Hugh, his younger brother Pete, nursemaid and cook Bella, and now the newly arrived snow-blinded young Sylvie who had been snatched from near death in the snow by the heroic but moody Hugh. Because of her blindness, Sylvie is led to believe her rescuer to be a handsome and dashing hero; his younger brother to be but a young lad of 14; and Bella a matronly old maid. But Sylvie would, in time, form her own image of the clan and attempt to bring them together as they were destined to be split apart. Demonstration lies herein of the inherent ability of the blind to use their other senses to best any situation laid before them. (Introduction by Roger Melin)
