Beyond this rock we call home, horror awaits. Meteors slash through the sky, illuminating terrors beyond our wildest imagination. In the furthest reaches of the coldest cosmic expanse, there are things waiting, whose very existence our minds are not equipped to comprehend.

Can you survive the final frontier?

Featuring 15 stories from some of the best up-and-coming talents in the genre, The Darkness Beyond The Stars is an anthology of space-themed horror that seeks to twist humanity's greatest aspirations into our greatest fears. This intergalactic collection of terror includes: alien flora threatening homesteaders, survivors of a psychic war facing a reckoning aboard a ship escaping Venus, a traitorous scientist is launched from an airlock but doesn't die, a woman waking from hypersleep with no memory--but a very real sense of looming danger, and more.

Editor and author P.L. McMillan invites you to blast off with a collection of short stories that'll teach you to fear the carnage of the cosmos.

Praise for The Darkness Beyond The Stars

"The Darkness Beyond The Stars forces us to confront the lull of the unknown, emphasizing both its dangers and allure--of wanting to know yet being afraid to know. The stories are at times claustrophobic and suffocating, yet they can also bring comfort through unease in the unfamiliar. The anthology holds tales of isolation that fester darkness within the mind and take you on journeys of which you are unsure if you might return--if you even desire return upon its conclusion."
