- Haunted by the Past -
The concept of traveling through space and visiting outlandish planets has always fascinated humankind. But what if these journeys to the outer reaches are not so pleasant? What horrors, whether alien or imagined, would we find? Once there, what new challenges will we face as technology progresses beyond socially acceptable behaviors and what we perceive as �human nature�? Shattered Space showcases a collection of short stories written by gifted authors that touch on some of the possible answers.
Tacitus Publishing�s run of anthologies over the past years had to eventually lead us here � horror and oddities in space. The tales chosen make for an eclectic wonder, a chance to experience space and its marvels in a very different light. In this collection of eleven titillating stories, you will succumb to madness, you will face interstellar threats, and as a coup de gras, you will endure the chore of laundry.
