Death, hubris, and the unfathomable dread of outer space. Welcome to the twisted worlds of Bloody Colony.

Christmas is a special time for those of us marooned on this wondrous planet, but in the distant worlds of Bloody Colony, seasonal greetings are a rare luxury. This selection features eight stories of betrayal, impossible decisions, death in the snow, and ruthless murder.

Lured to Kotharat with false promises, Florin Gheorghe discovers the harsh realities of frontier life in a colony with only one sentence for any crime - “Death by Murder”. On distant planet Gehenna, colonist Doreen Huckerby befriends a creature others consider vermin, but when the true “The Green-Eyed Monster” emerges, Doreen takes matters into her own hands.

In “Dinner at the Roosevelt”, agents Castleton and Indigo receive a message from the future that will change their lives forever. Light-years away, Barton and Roxanne Rivers are days away from starting a new life on Lalande VII, but when Barton is invited to a high-stakes game on the colony ship, his compulsive gambling may cost them everything in “Barton's Wager”.

When alien invaders threaten to destroy Gehenna colony in “Anti-Sceptic”, only Reginald McTavish can save his fellow colonists from certain doom. Then join Inspector Burr Lagerfelt as he investigates the death of Professor Pip Briar in “Buried Dogs Don’t Bark”, a seemingly simple suicide case with a sting in the tail.

But the Christmas horrors don’t end there. In “Phobos Dawn”, the unearthing of an ancient door on the largest moon of Mars leads to a dangerous race for the greatest prize in the universe. And in “Rivers of Oxia Palus”, Mars colonists Carina Novosta and Hideki Mishima must race against time to uncover the truth behind their mission commander’s death.

With powerful imagery and shocking twists at every turn, Bloody Colony is a must-read for fans of sci-fi horror. If you enjoy “Black Mirror”, “The Expanse”, or “The Twilight Zone”, you’ll love the unexpected tales of Bloody Colony. Be prepared to enter a universe of fear that will haunt you long after you turn the last page.
