the brief : The Darker Mask is a collection of original prose stories recalling the derring-do of the beings we call Superheroes and the worlds they fight to save. But unique to The Darker Mask stories is that these plots and characters color a literary universe outside of what has been predominantly white, idiosyncratic, and male in previous homages to pulp. This is the stuff of urban legends, new mythos, and extraordinary folks who might live in a soon-to-be-gentrified ghetto, the dreary rust-belt of the city, or in another dimension. The Darker Mask offers an eclectic mix of popular fiction writers exploring worlds gritty, visceral, and fantastic.
free associations: an urban hero, a hero, captain America, suit with fish scales, like a chain-link fence, surrounding a ghetto, a sea of cement, a manhole half uncovered is half a moon, coming from under-ground, going through divides like they're not there, a secret power that can't be described with words, flickering like a flame.
