The Summer Mask

... I met you in the summer when the butterflies began to dance. ...

A haunting tale of a wounded veteran and the artist commissioned to sculpt him a new face. Beautifully written with a slow building, seamless twist. I listened to the story on the Nightmare Magazine podcast, narrated by the always excellent Stefan Rudnicki.

The Summer Mask by Karen Lowachee appeared in the Nov 2017 issue of Nightmare Magazine.
