Body parts growing down in the local woods, scary encounters in a deserted escape pod, something odd lurking in the ocean at Dulgots Trench, aliens who have no feet......further tales of the unexpected.

A sequel to Setting Suns-a collection of short sci-fi stories. 

Two of the first seven stories are a couple of my favourites from the original collection.

I'll be adding more as time goes by.

Eight Planets Bullied Nine, Until He Fell by sarianlives

In the vein of authors Kim Newman and H.P Lovecraft, this is a story that brings together genres and themes, into brand new territories. Set in an alternate past of Gangsters and Gumshoes, caught in an unknowable, unstoppable game of cat and mouse, hurtling toward an end-game no-one could have predicted. Mixing elements of mystery, thriller, horror and weird fiction, we are thrown into a story which soons begins to twist into contorted, skewed directions, uncontrollably hurtling towards a conclusion that will change everyone involved. Originally written as part of the 10 SHORT OF 31 short story collection, released in October 2016, where every story was based upon a title provided by friends, peers and family - where every story was supposed to be written in a single day, a single sitting - with minimum planning or preparation. Based on the title alone. This story was dedicated to my friend Jim Partridge who gave me the title.

Runaway World by IanReeve216

During the final decades of the twenty first century, a rogue brown dwarf star passed through the solar system and its gravity threw the Earth out of orbit around the sun. Two hundred years later, when the atmosphere has finished freezing onto the surface, explorers from the last refuge of humanity venture out to see what's become of their world. Things looks bleak. Mankind faces a future of huddling in whatever warm refuges it can make for itself until the Earth's core goes cold, but then a discovery is made. An opportunity exists for mankind to leave the planet and find its destiny among the stars, but to do so requires an all or nothing gamble and losing would mean the end of the human race. Some want to take the gamble. Others don't, and so conflict and violence breaks out as the survey teams explore a planet transformed out of all recognition...

The Line of the Sol Empress by wdhenning

For over a millennia, the Line of the Sol Empress had reigned over the scattered planets of the Sol Commonwealth, exerting her constitutional authority and influence for the betterment of all humanity. In a brazen nuclear attack, she and her daughters were murdered. Priestess Celeste Ciel went on the run, with her the last hope for a new Empress. Alone and labeled a terrorist, Celeste stowed away on the cargo starship belonging to a man nicknamed 'Moon', a loner and cynical ex-military engineer who would rather be left alone. Powerful corrupt forces feared the precious package she carried and spared no expense or atrocity to hunt her down. United by reluctant circumstance, Celeste and Moon fled across the galaxy in a desperate quest to restore the Line of the Empress. Previously titled "Children of the Sun and Moon".

The Greater Universe by SammyR1978

Max lives a very solitary life for a kid in a penthouse on Mars, and all they've ever wanted is to see Earth. And maybe to see their family more too. They at least get one of those things the summer after they turn sixteen, but spending the next few months on Venus with their aunt, uncle, and beloved cousin comes with a price; their parents are getting divorced. Not that it matters to them. It really shouldn't matter to them. It DOESN'T matter to them. The summer's already started off a little rocky, and it only gets more confusing from there when Max arrives on Venus to discover that their extended family has taken in two aliens the same age as themself and their cousin, and suddenly, Max doesn't fit in. Not that they aren't used to that. They really SHOULD be used to that. Somehow, they still aren't. As Max struggles to convince their cousin's new friends that they're more accepting than most humans, something strange starts happening in the little Venusian city, something that leads to Max and this ragtag group of strangers - that they're beginning to consider their family - going on an extraordinary adventure, learning the truth about many untold secrets, and possibly even uncovering an ancient intergalactic war...

Down Under by AmyMarieZ

|WATTYS 2022 WINNER - HORROR| Shawn, a convicted criminal, never thought she'd see the sun again, let alone call another star system her home. When she's offered an out from her prison sentence, she embarks on a dangerous interstellar expedition along with 18 of Earth's most intelligent criminals. Their task is to set up a base on a supposedly habitable planet and prepare it for colonization. Although the planet has liquid water and a breathable atmosphere, it is believed to host only microbial life. However, upon arriving, Shawn and the rest of the colonists learn that assumption was grossly incorrect. In a brutal attack from rampaging wildlife, everyone but Shawn and four other colonists are killed. The five survivors retreat to the cavernous network beneath the ground seeking safety, but they soon come to a terrible discovery. These caves aren't ordinary caves, and they are no safer down under than they were on the surface. [][][] This was originally my entry for the 2021 Open Novella Contest, and it received an honorable mention! It has now been expanded into a full length novel. I used prompt number 53: "When wildlife starts rampaging, all the humans are forced underground. However, they come to a terrible discovery that being underground is no safer than being on the surface."

Moon Bound - PART I & II - (Book 1 in the Original ROYAL HOWLERS Duology) ✔ by SAMiAMiz

*NOTE: THIS STORY HAS TWO PARTS IN ONE BOOK* In the werewolf fables told to their children, was a story--- a legend--- of a ruler--- a leader--- who would be born as the peace maker for their species. This leader would be the answer to a broken road, a 'Chosen One' who would provide a better future. Though it is a fable, just merely a story for bedtime to werewolf children, there was faith in it. There was hope such a legendary hero would be born and save them. And then the time had come, when a child---a boy---was born at Twilight--- the hour of the Moon Goddess--- and bore the marking of the Deity, sealing his fate; and everything---and everyone--- that twines with it. ***WARNING: MATURE CONTENT*** This has two parts and I decided to keep it all in one book instead of breaking it up in two. Honorable Mentions: FEB 2018: FIRST PLACE WINNER FOR @UNDISCOVEREDWOLVES BOOK OF THE YEAR (20K - 50K)

Steady Ground | ✔ by ToriHope-

He's damaged. He's lost. And worse of all, his memories have come to life. If he wants to find peace, he'll need to redefine what it really means to move on. -- For the first time in years, Atlas feels like he's separated himself from the misfortune in his life. He's healed, he's rented a decent apartment, he's settled into a solid-enough-for-him job working as a grunt for some scientists. Now he's (reluctantly) traveling to the spring snows of Alaska, where they plan to test the first run of their earthquake-harnessing technology. But something goes wrong. They don't harness the energy of an earthquake. No. Instead, the ground rips apart. A massive crevice forms, leading deep into the Earth. The chasm lulls him forward like a Siren, telling him tales of his mother, of her laughter, of her scent of strong sandalwood, and of his life before her death. Waking up in what he can only describe as Hell, he's confronted with every misfortune in his life. Forced to befriend mirages made from his most painful childhood memories or pay severe consequences, he travels the twisted realm in search of answers.
