13 crashed ships, 13 stories by award-winning talent
HORRIBLE FUTURE and MAGNETIC PRESS present BLACK BOX CHRONICLES, set in the age known as The Great Outward Expansion, wherein mankind has not only left Sol Prime to colonize other planets but other star systems as well. Humanity’s natural instinct to explore is given free rein through exponentially advancing technology, reaching new plateaus of knowledge faster than anyone could have imagined. But regardless of how much data and processing power civilization achieves, we all face our final moments when we pass into “The Great Dark.”
