The Immanent World: 404 - A Horror Anthology Series: (Dark Sci Fi Short Stories) Kindle Edition

He's Watching You ...


It's the fear we all have using the internet: Who is watching? What have I left out there? David Clegg ignored that fear, posted his musings on the Dark Web, and paid the price. When a mysterious hacker hijacks his computer, Clegg is shown a series of real-time videos, each one a story of mankind's dark dealings with technology and the paranormal. As a voyeur, he is given one chance -- and only one chance -- to help those he's watching, unknowingly sealing his own fate in the process.

Told in six twisted stories, The Immanent World: 404 is a wickedly imaginative collection of dark sci fi and the paranormal. For fans of horror anthologies like Stephen King's Night Shift or Clive Barker's Books Of Blood, movies like V/H/S or The ABC's Of Death, or TV shows like Black Mirror or Supernatural, weaving the familiar with the disturbingly dark.

"It's like Black Mirror with a Paranormal edge."





Immanent - remaining within; indwelling; inherent.

Horror fans will enjoy this journey into the dark corners of the immanent world - a reality where the divine and demonic are not outside our natural world, but very much a part of it.


    • Your Lying Eyes: A domestic dispute between his next door neighbors puts Kendrick, a bachelor who loves gaming and tech, in a dangerous situation when the wife hides out in his house. She has a codex tattoo — an implant that records all five sense and can play those experiences back through specific devices, which shows Kendrick the difference between what his neighbors want him to see and who they really are.

    • The Politics of Flesh and Metal: When two friends go on a road trip to interview the head of a cutting edge tech company who claims to have the key to quantum communication, they find the consequences of gaining that technology are more costly than they could imagine.

    • Hamir Can Do Anything: Hamir is an average Indian American. Hamir is also bullied at his office job, under-appreciated by his wife and her Auntie, and ridiculed for his accent by the general public. All he wants is respect. Today, through an unexpected gift in the mail, he gets everything he wants, including revenge.

    • The Viral Gods:“LIke It Or Lose It” is a popular television game show where contestant have one week to gain 5,000 likes on their LIOLI profile, a task that’s harder than it seems. Needing the money for his daughter’s surgery, Chip Tittle tries to subvert the system by exposing the truth about the State, putting much more at risk than he realizes.

    • Invincible: An android named Astraea, who has been passed down generation after generation by the Thornsmith family as either an experiment or sex slave, attempts one last time to free herself. Can she convince the only surviving descendant of the family, a teenage boy, to help her become a Super AI, or will a mob of anti-technology zealots destroy her, the last of her kind?

    If you've grown accustomed to short story anthologies consisting of X number of unrelated tales, randomly assembled within the confines of a single book cover, then this collection will prove a breath of fresh (albeit somewhat dark) air.

    Linked together through the "adventures" of a self-important hacker/troll who meets his mysterious match, the sci-fi / supernatural stories gathered here reference each other, as well as explore the darker sides of man's relationships with technology. If you aren't usually a horror fan, or don't care for graphic violence and slaughter, you will enjoy this book. If you are a tech person of any flavor, you will enjoy this book. If you enjoy well-written things that are awesome, you will enjoy this book. You really should be reading this book right now.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2018
    Altogether this is a nice collection of short horror stories. If you are in the mood for quick interesting scares, then this fits the bill. They are not all gory shorts so don't let that put you off. Take a chance, I am sure you will enjoy them.

    Just what I like, little bites of stories I can read in between clients and meetings.
    This is the second anthology of Reznor's I've read and this is better for sure. The book is beautifully put together as short stories that are, as you find out, all connected.

    Your Lying Eyes: when you can see everything through virtual reality.
    The Politics of Flesh and Metal: what happens when The Borg becomes true?
    Hamir Can Do Anything: what if you had sunglasses that turned you into a god?
    Viral Gods: how far would you go to save your dying child?
    Invincible: reality meets....reality?

    The Immanent World: 404 was a fun collection of creative short stories that all tied together through the point-of-view of an outside observer. It greatly reminded me of the V/H/S films and Black Mirror. I just received my copy of The Immanent World: Cluichi and am excited to read through it as well!

    Not a huge gory horror fan, and fortunately, this wasn't like a lot of those. I do love great short stories. One of them was even a sorta-romance. Horror folks will like the intense stuff, people who just like stories will like all the twists and crazy concepts.

    David Clegg is a conspiracy theorist who spends hours getting lost in the Dark Web reading other's theories and chatting. He spends so much time in fact, his steady girlfriend is starting to loose patience waiting for her chance at his attention. One night while online, he's hacked by someone who claims he can prove to him that there are other realities out there and that science has discovered a way to reveal those dimensions through computer code. Clegg decides to entertain the idea and proceeds to watch. Each video he watches is presented as a short story and each one contains an awesome twist or two. From tattoos that contain a person's memories to a game show where 'likes' on social media could literally mean life or death for the contestant. Each story contains some sort of artificial intelligence gone wrong and makes you ask when is it enough. The author points out in his intro how rockets were originally designed for research, not weapons of mass destruction and how even the internet has become a place for hate and discord instead of a place to gain and share information with others. I was left contemplating the question of when is enough, enough? It seems the more intelligence we gain as a species, the more vulnerable we become to those machines and gadgets we rely on so much.

    Mr. Reznor has created a collection of stories both thought provoking and entertaining. I highly recommend this book.
