The Wrong Face - Barbara Hughes-Moore

The man checked his watch for the eighteenth time and tentatively adjusted the face he was wearing. Skin on skin, not as erotic as it sounds. Take it literally, or don’t. But the man was wearing another’s face. There’s no other way to break it to you.

We are excited to bring you a total of six works for our fall 2016 online magazine! Over the next few days we’ll give you a taste of each work, as well as a short bio of the author. The second work we’re featuring is The Wrong Face, written by Barbara Hughes-Moore.

PhD student by day, movie maniac by night, Barbara Hughes-Moore is an aspiring author and semi-regular line-dancer. Her academic research interests include criminal legal theory, Gothic literature, and a troubling fascination with Doppelgängers that she is currently turning into a PhD. When she needs time away from writing her doctoral thesis, she likes to take a break – by writing, everything from short stories to flash fiction to that book that she’s definitely going to finish one day.

You can find her on Twitter and, for rants and ramblings, at her blog.

Check out the other works here, and keep an eye out over the next few days for short features on the other works and their authors.
