In this second issue of Phenomenal Stories, we continue the Cyberpunk serial Closer and the more traditional science fiction serial After: The End of the World's Not All It's Cracked Up To Be.

Richard H. Nilsen returns with a horror story in collaboration with Shawn M. Tomlinson titled "The 9 Corners." It takes place at Nine Corners Lake in the Adirondacks. J.D. Hayes-Canell is back, too, with another horror tale, this one titled, "Julie in a Jar." The story of Robert and Cara continues with "A Visitor in Arkham."

Over on the non-fiction side, there's Gosh! Wow! A Personal History of the Pulps Chapter 2: The Start of It All. And Shawn M. Tomlinson rounds out the issue with his Hitchhiker in Time column, The Lurking Fear, about H.P. Lovecraft and the need to write.
