When we look into the shadows, what looks back?

Twelve unforgettable tales of terror, wonder, and the unknown—where science meets the impossible and legends refuse to stay hidden.

From the fog-shrouded mountains of Maine to the steamy bayous of Louisiana, these stories drag ancient cryptids into the modern world. Stalked, hunted, chased by creatures that shouldn’t exist. Blending cryptozoology, horror, steampunk, sci-fi, and dark folklore, Chaos Theory: Cryptid Chronicles delivers heart-pounding encounters with the monsters that haunt our wild places—and our nightmares.

S.L. Linton's story, "The Big One" takes us to a lake in the South Carolina Lowcountry where in the water's dark depths, something larger than life swims. And Denny is going after it with the most unlikely of companions.

We’ve assembled a diverse range of pleasantly surprising stories. Our writers are in fine fettle as they entertain, delight, and sometimes horrify you. Not all of these tales have happy endings. Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes…well, these ain’t fairytales. But all are exciting tales of the West, with an element of something...Wyrd. Enjoy, friends! 

S.L. Linton's story, "The Hard Road Home" follows the adventure of the failed cowboy, Wes Cobb, who gets roped into a job stranger than he could ever imagine.
