The Double Down series continues with two novellas that cast mid-twentieth-century America in a dark light: Lisa Morton’s Smog and Eric J. Guignard’s Baggage of Eternal Night.

In Smog, tomboy Joey thinks she’s got the perfect life: It’s 1965 and she lives in an idyllic Southern California suburb where everyone works for the aerospace industry. But when something goes wrong with a rocket test, the smog thickens and the teenagers change into rampaging killers. Can Joey survive long enough to escape the neighborhood before she joins their ranks?

“With Smog, Lisa Morton has created the perfect coming-of-age story. This is a tale of a magical time, with wonderful characters and a gripping plot that just won’t let go. This is Morton at her very best and you don’t want to miss this one.” – John R. Little, Author of The Memory Tree, Miranda, and Ursa Major
“I’m sure Smog by Lisa Morton is a true tale of terrifying horror. Or maybe she’s just that fabulous of a writer. Evocative, provocative, and TOTALLY FREAKY. More!” – Nancy Holder, 5-time Bram Stoker Award winner and NYT bestselling author of Dead in the Water
