Cages

International Horror Guild Award winner 1995, Bram Stoker Award nominee 1995.

Cages by Ed Gorman is a terrifying look into a possible future that might just be right around the corner. It's a bleak tale and should not be read by those with sensitive tastes.

As the author notes, "I submitted it to an editor I really admire and she really liked it and battled for months with the publisher to let her run it. But he said, 'This story will cost us subscribers.' And you know, I think he was probably right."
