The Darkness Chronicles Volume 2: Two pulp journeys where humanity confronts the unknown

With this second volume of Chronicles of Darkness, Vincent Deroy continues his work of literary resurrection, breathing new life into two pulp tales from the 1950s. Restored, rewritten, and expanded, these stories become unsettling dives into retro science fiction where humanity collides with the unknown… and with its own illusions.

This collection is aimed at fans of vintage sci‑fi as well as readers who enjoy short fiction, cosmic horror, and atmospheres that feel strangely familiar.

The Lost Meteor

1963. At the height of the race to the Moon, an atomic spacecraft vanishes into the frozen silence of space.
On board, a doomed journalist tries to send his final testimony while the crew drifts toward certain death.
But in the void, something is listening.
Something that should not exist.
A claustrophobic space thriller where solitude, fear, and the inexplicable intertwine in mounting tension.

The Blood of Freedom

On Mars, tentacled overlords rule millions of slaves with an iron grip.
A seemingly powerless Earth ambassador carries within him the most unlikely weapon: an entire army, miniaturized and hidden in his own blood.
Can freedom truly be born from a single red drop in a world dominated by extraterrestrial tyrants?

The Gardian of Darkness Watches

Between these two tales, an ancient presence observes, comments, and binds these forgotten stories together.
Where humans dream of conquest, it sees the shadows waiting for them.

Two stories.
Two worlds.
Two dizzying plunges into the unknown.
A vibrant homage to classic pulp, restored and transformed for a new generation of readers.
Read in one sitting — at your own risk.
