Truth or Dare

BevVincent

I "sold" this story previously, but the terms of the contract expired without me ever getting paid or the issue of the magazine ever appearing, so I withdrew the story from consideration and submitted it to Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, a charity anthology from Necon E-books. All proceeds go to the Jimmy Fund at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Got my acceptance letter yesterday. The book will be launched at Necon in July, which I will be attending.

"Usually a simple, sometimes embarrassing, occasionally humiliating game. Usually it isn't injurious, seldom fatal. But when one of the players has a nasty agenda and the ability to back it up, the consequences can be horrifying. A really scary tale." -- The Haunted Reading Room
