Galactic Horrors

The freighter's hold is built without a scrap of iron, because its cargo is a living magnetic field that pulls iron out of anything it touches. The holdmaster tracks the invisible creature with thrown iron filings so the copper coils along the walls can keep it penned on the voyage home. Every one of these creatures sheds what it gathers, but this one keeps every grain.Two months out, the filings are nearly gone and home is still months away. The only iron left aboard runs in the crew's own veins, rising under a man's skin in dark lines as he walks toward the thing. So the holdmaster starts writing names on a roster, sending men one stride at a time into the reach of a thing that has never let go of anything.Each morning the lines rise closer to the hatch, and the creature grows heavier than the dead can account for. With the crew deck only a few walls away, the holdmaster must decide how many more names to write, and how long a ship with no iron can hold it at all.🔗 Official Links:The only place to get daily and bonus Galactic Horrors stories with no ads or interruptions is Patreon:📡 Join Patreon: https://patreon.com/GalacticHorrorsGalactic Horrors stories are also available as eBooks on Amazon, with new releases every week:📚 eBooks: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0H2F5M2B3/allbooks📖 Written by Galactic Horrors⚠️ Content Ownership NoticeAll stories, artwork, thumbnails, and animations featured on this channel are original creations of Galactic Horrors.

After nine years searching beyond charted space, a prospecting captain discovers what humanity has been waiting for: a green planet with air people can breathe. Thousands of abandoned alien ships hang above its surface, but every test shows the atmosphere is safe. A successful claim would bring the crew a fortune and offer families on crowded stations a chance to live beneath an open sky.The claim requires thirty days on the surface, with blood samples collected as proof that the men remain healthy. But as the days pass, the crew begins to change in ways no test can detect. The deserted ships point to a fate the men may already be sharing, and their promised rewards make it harder to abandon the claim.With settlers waiting to follow, the captain must find a way to stop the planet from being declared safe. His crew is losing the ability to leave, and the evidence that could save thousands may be the one thing their official tests cannot recognize.🔗 Official Links:The only place to get daily and bonus Galactic Horrors stories with no ads or interruptions is Patreon:📡 Join Patreon: https://patreon.com/GalacticHorrorsGalactic Horrors stories are also available as eBooks on Amazon, with new releases every week:📚 eBooks: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0H2F5M2B3/allbooks📖 Written by Galactic Horrors⚠️ Content Ownership NoticeAll stories, artwork, thumbnails, and animations featured on this channel are original creations of Galactic Horrors.

Four years into a survey of the asteroid belt, a small ship is nearly out of water, and the closest supply is the quarantine station orbiting Mars, where everyone leaving the planet waits out a year. The station has been silent for most of that year. The ship's executive officer leads the boarding party, as he always does, and he has never lost a man.Inside, the corridors sit at forty below, and in the one warm room hundreds of colonists hang in rows, alive and asleep, each carrying something that turns toward heat. The first boarding costs him a man. Whatever came up from beneath the planet's ice hunts warmth, so the crew shuts down its reactor and lives in the dark, hauling the only clean water out of a freezer as their air runs down.Then they learn the station is climbing out of orbit on its own, steering toward the sun with hundreds of sleepers aboard. The executive officer has days to finish the haul and stop it, and every man he sends back inside may not come out.🔗 Official Links:The only place to get daily and bonus Galactic Horrors stories with no ads or interruptions is Patreon:📡 Join Patreon: https://patreon.com/GalacticHorrorsGalactic Horrors stories are also available as eBooks on Amazon, with new releases every week:📚 eBooks: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0H2F5M2B3/allbooks📖 Written by Galactic Horrors⚠️ Content Ownership NoticeAll stories, artwork, thumbnails, and animations featured on this channel are original creations of Galactic Horrors.

For eight years, the head of a minor house on Callisto has chosen which of his people go up to the ring above Jupiter. There each house docks a sealed module packed with men strapped upright to the walls, and after three days the module with fewer living heartbeats is vented and dropped into the clouds. It is how the houses have shared the planet's wealth for a century.This season, a hull that no one built climbs out of the depths and joins the game. The counters hear three hundred and twelve hearts inside it. Every crew it docks beside loses, and the dying is slow: it closes over their module and waits for hours while the whole ring listens.When he learns that it always takes the fullest module, he understands that he fed it his own first crew, and that at this rate his house will run out of modules before the season ends. To save the people left on his rolls, he must learn what the thing is and decide how much more of his house he is willing to give it.🔗 Official Links:The only place to get daily and bonus Galactic Horrors stories with no ads or interruptions is Patreon:📡 Join Patreon: https://patreon.com/GalacticHorrorsGalactic Horrors stories are also available as eBooks on Amazon, with new releases every week:📚 eBooks: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0H2F5M2B3/allbooks📖 Written by Galactic Horrors⚠️ Content Ownership NoticeAll stories, artwork, thumbnails, and animations featured on this channel are original creations of Galactic Horrors.

For eighteen years, a colony at the Moon's south pole has lived on what comes through a gate of two iron rings, one in Houston and one in a lunar crater. Food, mail and every tank of air cross in a single stride, until the morning something fills the ring from rim to rim and spills onto the floor, its eyes taking whatever stands still.The air will last two weeks, and the nearest rocket is seven months from flying. The gate's keeper, an electrician who flew up on the final rocket and stayed, finds the one way through: a crawl on his side between the creature's hide and the iron, through a hundred feet of crushing dark, while whatever it swallowed rolls over him. Each morning it grows heavier, and the gap grows tighter.Now he must guide every colonist and stranded day-tripper through before Houston kills the creature and seals the gate for good. And every yard he crawls brings him closer to learning what really went missing all those years he signed it away as ordinary loss.🔗 Official Links:The only place to get daily and bonus Galactic Horrors stories with no ads or interruptions is Patreon:📡 Join Patreon: https://patreon.com/GalacticHorrorsGalactic Horrors stories are also available as eBooks on Amazon, with new releases every week:📚 eBooks: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0H2F5M2B3/allbooks📖 Written by Galactic Horrors⚠️ Content Ownership NoticeAll stories, artwork, thumbnails, and animations featured on this channel are original creations of Galactic Horrors.
