Arachnapocalypse! The Anthology - Verygood Collaborations

When the arachnids descend, the end of the world is only the beginning.

Arachnapocalypse! The Anthology whisks you through a series of high-octane narratives where humanity's last survivors must adapt, overcome, and confront a horror beyond imagination. In the frozen wilderness of Violet Winter, follow Sue's desperate bid for survival as she battles nature-and nightmare-in a brutal landscape where every arrow counts. Then, plunge into the heart-pounding chaos of The First of Us, where hardened Marines and beleaguered civilians are trapped in a fortified SCIF, fighting not just for their lives, but for the remnants of civilization. Across these and other interwoven tales, the anthology paints a vivid tableau of despair, courage, and the indomitable human spirit against an onslaught of monstrous invaders. With visceral combat, dark humor, and moments of haunting introspection, this collection is a must-read for anyone who craves the intensity of classic sci-fi epics with a modern, unyielding twist.

Step into a world where humanity's final stand is waged against a relentless, eight-legged terror! In Arachnapocalypse! The Anthology, an electrifying collection of post-apocalyptic tales, survival means outsmarting colossal, biomechanical arachnids-monsters that emerge from the skies and dark corners of a shattered civilization. From frozen battlefields to claustrophobic bunkers, every story pulses with the raw, unyielding fight for life. Whether you're a fan of gritty military thrillers or epic science fiction adventures, prepare to be drawn into a universe where hope burns as fiercely as the fires of conflict. Dare to crack open the spine of Arachnapocalypse! and join the fight before it's too late!

A note from Lettercast:
"I wanted to see what other writers could do with this world I built. So, I reached out to a few friends and invited them to collaborate, setting our sites on an October 2022 release. I could not offer much, not even royalties, but the concept was exciting enough that a few decided to take the plunge with me. Together, we helped illuminate periods of time along the timeline through that oldest of the sacred arts, storytelling.

The stories in Arachnapocalypse! The Anthology! offer glimpses into the end of the world as we knew it in 2018, and the dawn of a new, violent age. Each one follows different characters across various times and locations, spanning from the arrival of the Arachnids to a desperate raid on a Mars outpost in the distant future. The tone is intentionally over-the-top, so if you are a fan of Warhammer, Star Trek, Event Horizon, The Walking Dead, or Starship Troopers, you will probably feel right at home in the Arachnapocalypse! Universe. There is love and war, kindness and deception - and, of course, an unsettling number of bugs."
