Corrupts Absolutely?

Cover art by Jessy Lucero

The only family member to survive the 9/11 attacks.

A sidekick turned construction worker. 

The man who can make anyone do anything. 

The teenaged products of an institute for unwanted metahuman children. 

Are they heroes? Are they villains? Sometimes they're both. Often, even at the same time. 

But fifteen-year-old Bliss isn't feeling very heroic right now.

Her mother has sent her away to an institute for meta-human freaks. Her father has yet to come rescue his baby girl from the freaks. And the boy she's had a crush on the past two years has finally noticed her - but he's trying to put his fist through the back of her head. 

My short story "G-Child" is one of twenty brand-new stories in the dark superhero anthology Corrupts Absolutely?, edited by Lincoln Crisler. Both veteran authors and newcomers offer a unique and realistic perspective on what it's like to be a superhuman in today's day and age.

Contributors include: Weston Ochse, Jeff Strand, Joe McKinney, Cat Rambo, A.D. Spencer, A.S. Fox, Andrew Bourelle, Anthony Laffan, Edward M. Erdelac, Jason Gehlert, Jason M. Tucker, Jeremy Hepler, Karina Fabian, Kris Ashton, Lee Mather, Lincoln Crisler, Malon Edwards, Tim Marquitz, Trisha J. Wooldridge, Wayne Helge, Wayne Ligon, and William Todd Rose.

In the center of such a roiling mass of uncertainty and excitement lies one important truth: the fight against good or evil is never as important as the fight for or against oneself.


Corrupts Absolutely is available in both print and digital formats.
