Gothic Tales of Haunted Futures #[nn]

Edited by S.M. Beiko, this 2020 anthology from Renegade Arts Entertainment blends gothic atmosphere with science-fiction unease — and the cover sets the mood perfectly, showing a pale-haired young woman in glasses leaning close to examine a sleek, otherworldly robot figure amid a cluttered, neon-lit workspace. The tension between the human and the mechanical, rendered in cool purples and blues, feels both intimate and quietly unsettling. With Liezl Buenaventura handling every aspect of the story "Ghost Planet" — writing, art, inking, and colors — this is a collection that brings real creative vision to the question of what haunts us in the futures we build.
