A collection of stories by

 
 
Seen from the top of a forgotten lighthouse, gargantuan bones whisper of apocalyptic battles. On war-torn mud flats, soldiers square off against predators older than myth. Across ruined skylines, titanic mechs clash with alien invaders in steel-shattering duels, while a creature of the dark stalks a nineteenth century Scottish Halloween night that will never end.

This gripping short story collection catapults you through ten pulse-pounding adventures that blur the lines between science-fiction, horror, military thrillers, and dark fantasy. Each tale stands alone, but together with a selection of nonfiction micro-writings and insightful afterwords, they form a dizzying tour of humanity’s greatest hopes and deepest fears.

Heroes battle across decades and continents, from WWII Siberia to a mech-ravaged future, from anti-cyclone sandstorms to desolate martial monasteries. Every story pushes its characters—and readers—past the edge of imagination, where survival demands sacrifice and courage is forged in fire and blood.

International bestselling author Kane Gilmour’s Fictionaut collection is a one-way ticket to the outer limits of adventure—perfect for readers who crave colossal monsters, crackling gunfire, and the thrill of confronting the impossible. Buckle up…these stories at the edge of reality are waiting.
