The future of humankind as an ever-changing organism is a subject of much debate. Where is our evolutionary path leading?

Co-editors Michael Bailey and Darren Speegle present eighteen tales of dark science fiction that explore the course of evolution, written by some of the best literary minds in the fields of science fiction and horror.
