First Contact Horror

Delving deeply into the ephemeral and the ethereal, Standridge's short masterpiece of divine intervention questions the nature of our reality - and where humanity is headed....

Leviathan centipedes. Ravenous wasps. Moon universities. Viscoelastic AI's in the nude. One upstart anthropologist trying to learn echolocation. A tortured weapons dealer dodging exploding flowers. Predator Moons is equal parts horror and wonder. It's Dune meets Pokémon, with a splash of Blade Runner and a touch of Annihilation.

Mrs. Poole, a gifted British medium living in the United States, is recruited by an Alien force called the Opportunity to rescue four of their own trapped in the spirit world. The ghosts in Jennifer's house are driving her crazy. She seeks out Mrs. Poole's help to hold a seance to cleanse her house of the unwelcome guests. In order for that to happen she must accept a fantastic tale that alien spirits can possess humans and then offer herself, her friends, and a family member to be possessed themselves.

A crossover between the new wave vampire mythos and nasty aliens from another galaxy, this story features both of them, converging in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Captain Morgan Starling is a survivor, and the last remnant of her crew. Morgan fights for every scrap of air, stranded in the bowels of her derelict ship. When she is picked up by an alien starship, Morgan finds herself a prisoner of war, forced to excavate an ancient ruin. She was not alone, and the nightmare that killed her crew is getting ready to begin its massacre again. As something awakes from within the earth, ancient enemies threaten to tear the world apart. Morgan and her fellow prisoners must try and escape amongst this maelstrom of horror.

It's supposed to be a simple job, a look-see operation to make sure something terrible hasn't happened. The leader is prone to fits of violence, and there are rumors of previous human rights abuses. Only, when they arrive, the ship is...empty. The question is - where did everybody go? Armed only with riot gear, they explore the ship, intent on discovering the truth about what's happened on The Ark. What they find will be more nightmarish than anything they've seen before. Indeed, it's worse than anything they could imagine.
