From the people in the supermarket to that couple on the beach, few of the encounters in the new books by Em Reed and Lorraine Wilson are benign. Watch out who you trust!
Em Reed is a writer and researcher currently based in Glasgow. Their background includes art history, museum studies and creative writing but they also enjoy experimenting with small game tools in their spare time. Their work on science fiction, technology, and art history has previously appeared in Real Life, The Serving Library and Murdered Futures: A Cronenberg Zine. Originally from Central Pennsylvania, they now work as an editor in Glasgow, where they also publish zines through Plaintext Distro, and online interactive fiction through the digital art collective Domino Club.
