Villipede Double Feature 1

Villipede Publications’ first Double Feature, in electronic version only, featuring Damir Salkovic’s “The Black Ziggurat” and Rob Oxley’s “Cyborg Pajamas”. Salkovic’s story offers an alternative glimpse of post-cold war revelation, as Russian military men tend to a dark temple and the destructive, unfathomable alien forces that are kept prisoner beneath it. An American spy has seen first-hand the frightening power of the Black Ziggurat, and collaborates with the government to investigate and eventually control the dark forces for themselves. Oxley’s story is a grungy walk with Andy, the emotionally-damaged junkie main character, through a fairly normal day in a near-future world gone crazy. Citizens openly lose their minds in public view from a mysterious pathogen known as the Spell, and a street drug offers the only reprieve from its madness.
