Dead Planet

Dead Planet, edited by Eric Fomley, is a relentless military science-fiction horror anthology that plunges readers from corrupted Earth into the cold, lethal vastness of deep space. Across five chilling short stories by Myna Chang, Henry Herz, William R. D. Wood, Joachim Heijndermans, and Elana Gomel, humanity's wars spill far beyond familiar stars-and awaken things that should have remained buried.
Soldiers, pilots, and explorers confront hostile aliens, nightmarish biomechanical monsters, and supernatural terrors that twist both body and mind. Each story delivers high-stakes action fused with creeping dread and the unknown. From unexplored worlds to corrupted Earth, Dead Planet explores the cost of survival when courage, loyalty, and sanity are pushed past their limits. Brutal, atmospheric, and unflinching, this anthology is a must-read for fans of military sci-fi who crave their battles laced with cosmic or alien horrors.
