A once-in-a-lifetime interview opportunity offers a journalist a horrifying glimpse at what awaits the world... A mysterious group showcases their plans for the next step of human evolution... An elderly woman paints innumerable portraits of the same house from every angle, and the same occupant that dwells within it... From Nick Botic, the acclaimed author of Daughter's Drawings, This Is Not A Drill and Other Warnings is a collection of sixteen dispatches from the edge-where landscapes twist, memory falters, and reality buckles under pressure. These aren't warnings meant to be heeded. They're just what happens next. PRAISE FOR THIS IS NOT A DRILL AND OTHER WARNINGS Nick Botic hates you. How do I know? Because he puts you into his stories and leaves you there, unprotected, unsafe; he makes you feel the heat of the desert and the terror of an impossible choice, makes you hear the unnerving chime of a hotel elevator, the dire, repeated warnings of a newscaster emanating from a television in a suburban home. He makes you feel the anxiety and the terror of a voice you would normally trust, but that just might mean a horrific death. Nick Botic hates you and, moreover, he's trapped you in his story. You can't leave until you've read the very last word. And soon you find that you don't want to.
- Matthew M. Bartlett, author of Gateways to Abomination and Where Night Cowers A hideous amalgamation of weird people, places, and things. Nick's creations are born of nightmares, and slither deep into the brainstem to linger until death.
- Felix Blackwell, author of The Church Beneath the Roots Nick's stories, like all our most lingering nightmares, are at once surreal yet savagely visceral. He draws you into his characters' minds and invites you to taste their dread, their pain, their madness.
- Brandon Trenz, co-author of Michigan Basement (with Thomas Ligotti)
