Across the frontier, human ambition outpaces caution. Galactic Horrors catalogs the consequences: weapons that wake up, quarantines that arrive too late, signals we answer because we're lonely, and cures whose side effects learn faster than we do. Each episode is a tight, self-contained sci-fi mystery that peels back layers of secrecy—corporate, military, or purely personal—until the cost of curiosity is obvious and non-refundable. Expect bleak atmospheres, flawed survivors, and endings that feel earned rather than kind. Start anywhere; every story stands alone, though the galaxy remembers. All stories, artwork, and thumbnails are original to Galactic Horrors. We do not accept submissions. Disclosure: This show includes AI-generated elements. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. more
