Welcome again to the online collection, as announced here. The twelfth — and final for now — story is THE SCARIEST THING IN THE WORLD. Links to download are below, along with basic instructions.
This story and previous ones in an initial bi-weekly run of a dozen have been available as a benefit to paid subscribers only. That’s $5/month for two stories — or even less on an annual sub — for six months of stories. They remain available in the posts for existing and future paid subscribers.
Remember also that if you refer friends to this Substack and they subscribe (including on the free version) you can earn paid benefits for yourself…
And further recall that you can upgrade to monthly paid membership at any time, and unsubscribe again with a single click... and that discounted rates are available for people who refer this site to friends.
I hope you enjoy the story!

Instructions
If you click on the links above, you will be offered the opportunity to download the file to your phone, tablet or desktop. You then need to find where your device has saved the file (on an iPhone or iPad, go to the Files app — where it should be the last file created) and either click or double-click on it.
That’s how it works in the iOS and MacOS universe, anyway. I assume it’s similar under other OS but if someone has concise instructions on how it might work on an Android phone, please let me know and I’ll put it up for future reference. Failing that we’ll figure it out in the comments section.
❗Please also remember that these stories are a benefit for subscribers, and should not be shared around — especially not uploaded to copyright-thieving Web sites.
If you decide you need a ton more stories, right now, then the table-breaking The Best of Michael Marshall Smith collection is available from Subterranean Press.
If you encounter any problems either downloading or reading, please let me know.
Yes. Didn't see that coming, either.
And it's still the reflection on human nature I enjoy most.
