Desperate Measures | Short Story Review | AstraDaemon

THE AFFLICTED by Chris Stone is an intense short. I didn't know what to expect, and for the first half, I began to wonder if this was mislabeled as horror. Turns out the author is carefully crafting the reason for the shocking medical procedure the main character chooses for himself.

The procedure itself seems like something out of dystopian science fiction, but the possibility of this occurring provides the frightening aspect of Stone's story.

As always,
