Earth is slipping away from the sun. The oceans are freezing. Across the surface, the last survivors search for warmth, safety, and a reason to keep going.
A woman crosses the ice in search of fuel. A child flees a family torn apart by fear. Beneath a frozen ocean, a submarine crew fights for a future. Far below the surface, vast underground Dwellings promise to preserve humanity. But shelter comes with its own dangers.
As years become centuries, survival changes everything: who holds power, what people believe, and what it means to be human.
In fourteen linked stories, Craig Hole follows a dying world from its first desperate migrations into the deep future. Bleak, intimate, and unsettling, Tales from a Dead Planet blends apocalyptic science fiction with psychological horror, tracing the cruelty, grief, and stubborn hope that endure when the familiar world is gone.
