Delays and Detours | AstraDaemon

ACROSS THE DARK WATER by Richard Kadrey is a short story which follows a thief trying to acquire travel papers to get out of a plague-infested area. He robs graves for gold to hire a guide. The devastation of the disease becomes apparent as they travel out of the city.

The ending caught me off guard, but I love the way the author ties everything together. An entertaining sci-fi thriller.

As always,
