Our Alien QueenMum, Kay Patterson, has a creepy sci-fi/horror short story featured in the newest issue of Murky Depths.

Her tale, The Litter, appears in issue #2, which was just released in the United Kingdom.  The macabre artistry of James Fletcher highlights the piece, giving it an even darker touchreminiscent of the story-artwork blend found in old Tales From the Crypt magazines.

Way to go Kay!
