I’m pleased to announce that my space-horror story “Scarlet Tides” will be appearing in the 2025 anthology Songs from the Void, edited by Max Blood.
The story follows exoarcheologist Ben Cohen in his struggle to decipher the language of an extinct alien species found etched onto a mysterious orbital artefact. Ben must discover what happened to the doomed world Marzanna before he and his team suffer the same fate.
The story was inspired by a mash-up of Jeff Vandermeer’s Southern Reach trilogy (as was my debut novelette, The Withering Sky) and Jack McDevitt’s Academy Series—especially the first instalment, The Engines of God.
