Perpetual Motion Machine presents a new anthology of horror transmissions titled Lost Signals, edited by Max Booth III and Lori Michelle, including a cover design by Matthew Revert.

In the darkness, sound is your best friend and your worst nightmare.

Radios are the conductors of noise. They are the radiation of electromagnetic signals. Their waves are invisible, yet they consume us.

Forget about what’s hiding in the shadows, and start worrying about what’s hiding in the dead air.

We are looking for short stories to publish in Lost Signals. That’s where you, the writer, come in. Send us your best horror fiction about radiotelegraphy. We want to be disturbed. Stories should somehow involve radios, radio stations, radars, cell phones, military broadcasts, distress signals, walkie talkies, podcasts, or anything similar. We aren’t necessaryonly after straightforward prose. It’s okay to get experimental on this project. Don’t just think outside the box on this one. Burn the box and eat the ashes.2
