From the Editor, Neil Hogan:
Tired of space fiction that turns out to be contemporary fiction with a science fiction background?
Bored with the same old tropes being recycled?
Desperate for something that’s not just humans versus aliens?
Alien Dimensions is here to help! Always on the lookout for alien stories with a futuristic setting integral to the story rather than just a backdrop, featuring stories based on real science, you’re sure to find something that will get you thinking in every issue. Let’s get the science back into science fiction, the intelligent aliens back into the dialogue, and let’s just escape to a world completely unconnected and unrelated to the one we’re in now.

There is Nothing Darker Than The Woods.
The first three episodes are free to read!
Visions of Death: The Music Department Murders takes place during the summer of 1935, the build-up to WW II is heating up, swing music is blasting from the airwaves, and seventeen-year-old, Ruby St. Claire is a rising star of Weston's music department with her swinging quartet.
Next stop, the Roseland Ballroom Competition. She's helped the police find murder suspects since she was thirteen with her extrasensory vision, but after taking a break to focus on her music, the images of death have returned. Girls from school are disappearing. Ruby has to act fast and find their killer even when all the signs point to her.

In the author's notes at the end, I've added a couple of historical events that were happening at the time and influenced the story. There are historical parallels to the current build-up of the authoritarian political climate we find ourselves in now. Not only in the US, as I thought when I began this project, but all over the world. We much squash white supremacy!
After watching the Authors Guild Foundation's webinar about serialized fiction, I was inspired to try it. Have a look.
If you like it, please give the episode a thumbs up! THANK YOU! <3
