Fractured Futures: Horrors of Catastrophic Tomorrows
What happens when the systems that hold us together finally break?
Fractured Futures is a literary psychological horror series that explores the quiet, intimate ways the world ends - not through fire and spectacle, but through the slow unraveling of routine, memory, identity, and morality. Each volume contains standalone stories set in different post-catastrophe futures: after the collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, AI uprisings, terminal solar storms, economic and social breakdown, and other civilization-ending events.
These are not stories of grand rebellions or heroic survivors. They are stories of ordinary people who keep going - teaching empty classrooms, conducting orchestras of the dead, broadcasting into the void, maintaining factories that killed their coworkers - because stopping would mean confronting what they've already lost. The horror lies not in what has been destroyed, but in what people become in order to endure.
Volume 1 gathers twenty haunting tales set across a fractured world. From a retired teacher still ringing the school bell in a frozen, post-AMOC classroom to a nurse who refuses to let the night shift end, from a radio DJ receiving calls from the dead to a factory worker asked to train his own mechanical replacement, these stories examine grief, denial, ritual, and the terrible comfort of continuing when everything else has stopped.
Atmospheric, emotionally devastating, and deeply human, Fractured Futures asks: When the world ends, what remains of us - and what are we willing to become to keep going?
