Bill and Ellen are trying to rekindle their relationship. After accepting an invitation to a private resort, Bill and Ellen find themselves accompanied by wealthy guests on a secluded, lush island. After Ellen and another guest encounter a massive glowing crab, everything changes.

As the days go by, Bill realizes something is wrong with nearly everyone on the island, especially his wife. Feeling alone and outnumbered, he investigates and discovers horrors beyond imagination.

Combining eldritch visceral horror and paranoia set against a tropical backdrop, Paul E Cooley's Sacculina will leave you shivering.

Zilfaquir is having a bad day. Shin-Sho Corporation dispatched his Emergency Engineering Team (EET) to the remote ice planet Xiao 2 to investigate a communications blackout. The Xiao 2 facility, composed of three subsurface ocean stations, awaits his team below hundreds of meters of ice and kilometers underwater.

Upon arrival, he discovers the Xiao 2 facility has experienced an epidemic leaving most of the station’s personnel either dead or dying. Or transforming. Worse, the stations are in danger of imploding due to sabotage.

Armed with formidable mechanical suits, arrays of tools, weapons, and explosives, an EET is a force to be reckoned with. Whether a mission requires construction, destruction, hostage rescues, or repairing nuclear reactors, EETs always succeed. But what Zilf and his team find below the ice is more than any EET can handle.

From Paul E Cooley, Parsec Award Winning author “The Black” and “The Derelict Saga,” “Station 3” is a sci-fi/survival/horror thriller in the spirit of the Dead Space™ and Alien™ franchises.

Some mysteries shouldn’t be solved.
