Dark Yonder: Issue 12
(2026)(Book 12 in the Dark Yonder series)
An anthology of stories edited by Katy Munger and Eryk Pruitt
Your Silence Will Not Save You
Welcome to Issue 12 of Dark Yonder, a neo-noir journal for those who refuse to stick their heads in the sand. In a world governed by greedy lunatics and rising seas, where the rich get insanely richer and the rest of us are left to face the consequences, what is the point of a story? Perhaps, as Franz Kafka suggested, reality is simply too heavy to carry — or, at least, too heavy to carry alone.In these pages, we don’t offer you alternate realities, but we do offer a record of what it feels like to live, breathe, and bleed in the middle of this specific moment. So sit back, grab a drink, and dive deep into ten stories that seek honesty in the most unlikely corners and that explore the desperate lengths people will go to when they have nothing left to lose:
- Who Are You This Time? by Tom Andes
Ten is the Point by Doug Bucshon
Bread and Hanabada by Mark Coggins
The Guitar by Christina Hoag
Real Mean-Looking by Nick Kolakowski
Love & Marriage by Veronica Leigh
Man of the House by Hugh Lessig
Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill by Steve Liskow
The Squoval by K.T. Nguyen
Round and Round by Grant Tracey
As usual, our collection of eye-opening stories is accompanied by a cocktail recipe — this issue, it’s a signature Yonder Bar drink called Two Minutes To Midnight — plus commentary by editors Katy Munger and Eryk Pruitt.
