This 29th-issue of Tales from the Canyons of the Damned consists of three sharp, suspenseful, thought-provoking short stories - each from a different featured master of speculative fiction.

"Nice List" by Will Swardstrom

"Dreaming of a Carboniferous Christmas" by Robert Jeschonek

"The Christmas Gift" by Daniel Arthur Smith

Tales from the Canyons of the Damned (canyonsofthedamned.com) is a dark science-fiction, horror, and slipstream magazine we've been working on since 2015. What is dark science-fiction and horror? Think of it as a literary Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, or Outer Limits. It's Netflix's Black Mirror and Amazon's Electric Dreams in the short story format. And it's a bargain. Each monthly issue has three-to-five sharp, suspenseful, satirical tales from today's top speculative fiction writers.

These are dark sci-fi slipstream tales like you've never heard before.
