Signals from the Edge
Tales from the Fault Lines of Time and Thought
What do we leave behind when memory fades? What waits in the places we forget to look?
Signals from the Edge is a haunting, thought-provoking anthology of twenty-five speculative tales where the extraordinary hides just beneath the surface. Blending quiet horror, near-future science fiction, psychological suspense, and mythic echoes, this collection explores the lives of people who stand at the margins—of time, of society, of themselves.
A girl questions her faith in a school run by a cosmic bureaucracy. A grieving man listens to ghosts through an old Navy radio. A future without dreams finds one remembered by an octopus. A broken AI carries its pilot's soul across an icy moon. A lonely walker sees flowers bloom only in his shadow—and realizes they’re watching.
From dystopian data mines to forgotten coastlines, from Cold War wire fences to orbiting memory machines, these stories ask what it means to feel, to remember, to resist—and to be seen.
