Gustavo Bondoni

This planet (and surely others like it) are mostly covered in water, and while we know a bit about life there, what mysteries might still lie far down within its depths? Join us as we explore the depths, discover lost civilizations, and carry you away to fantastical underwater domains.

"Bondoni, an incredibly versatile Argentinian writer, has a special touch and a unique perspective few others can match... If you want a fresh new voice in horror, try Gustavo Bondoni." Elana Gomel, author of Little Sister, Black House, and My Lady of Plagues Haunted houses, haunted lands, haunted locations... Places can be as dark as the myths, legends, and stories surrounding them. Gustavo Bondoni knows these places well, having a worldview that is different from the average traveler... understanding horror and the roots of it, the foundations it is built from. In these stories, dark places come up into the light... There's thunder in Old Kilpatrick, thunder that has become familiar to a young boy during the war. Then a strange new danger arrives... yet it may not be a threat, but a blessing in disguise. It's a day's ride to Tarabuco for two infamous outlaws, who are searching for a burial chamber but end up unearthing more than they bargained for. The Antarctic hides ancient secrets, and one will be discovered by an expedition dispatched to find out why an outpost's signal has gone silent. Gustavo Bondoni will bring you into these dark places to face their horrors, to find and experience the malicious and maligned. If you choose to turn the page...

Innovation at its core is merely the introduction of something new. It can be an inventor coming up with a new gadget, but it can also be the creation of a piece of art, the thrill of discovery, a unique plan, the new application of old technology, or trying something new-to-you. But while risk can bring reward, it can also bring failure. Not all changes are good, and not all consequences can be foreseen. These fifteen stories explore innovation in its myriad of forms, from invention to discovery, the thrill of exploration to the bitter sting of failure. So join a god in introductory computer classes. Journey with a horse as he struggles to invent a new type of boat lift. Blast off to space with a foxhound cosmonaut. Compose music with a teenage opossum. Experiment on a mysterious hole with a village of ravens. Or just sit back and fight digital dragons in virtual reality. Innovation is what you make of it.

Lab-built monsters, genetically created from dinosaur and reptile bases are terrorizing people all over the world. Used in attacks by everyone from terrorists to governments, they are the latest weapon to be unleashed on the global public. Max Alexeyev is part of a secret military group formed to strike at the heart of the monster problem: the labs that are churning them out. Melanie Vi a is an active duty US Marine sniper out for revenge. They meet in Africa and join forces to locate and destroy the largest of the labs.

Double, double toil and trouble... Shakespeare began the tense apprehension with his melodic yet warning phrase. Ray Bradbury continued the dark and ominous foreboding that oozes between the words. Now, it has come to the North American Old West, a world with its severe terrain and hardened residents. The rules were harsher out here, the ethics and morals changed, the fight for life and liberty quite different than anything these pioneers, these outlaws, these six-shooters and rebel rousers, these unquestionably brave men and women had bargained for. For them, something wicked certainly rode. Like a hell-broth boil and bubble... In this anthology, we explore the Old West with a skewed view, showcasing the weird western genre through stories that explore the peculiar and the fantastic, the wicked that was and could have been. You'll experience spiritual nightmares, mythical monsters, cosmic outlaws, discerning gods, and science run amok. Even the North Pole Security division isn't immune to the supernatural strangeness that stalks the late 1800s. In the tradition of the pulp and western stories of a bygone era, these are thirty tales to intrigue, amaze, and perhaps down right spook you right out of your boots. So brew up some coffee, head out to the rocking chair on the porch, and tilt your hat to shade your eyes so you can read real close. Just be sure you keep one eye on the horizon and one hand near your holster. For... With dark intentions and creatures astride, Something wicked this way rides.

Lieutenant Max Alexeyev is a Russian Special Forces soldier. His job is to protect his country's interests at home and abroad, not to rescue overly ambitious reporters who have bitten off stories too big to chew. But when his unit gets called to a press event at a laboratory that has been invaded by dinosaurs, that's exactly what he finds himself doing. Fighting both prehistoric nightmares and the products of modern genetic experiments in the forests of the Ural Mountains, he battles for his own survival as well as that of alluring journalist Marianne Caruso and her peers. Unbeknownst to him, however, shadowy human forces are at work to ensure that no one spills the secrets of the research being done in the area. Will they live to tell the story of the Test Site Horror?

All Argentine Army Colonel Javier Balzano had to do was babysit a group of scientists to Antarctica. The months spent at the Belgrano II base promised to be more tedious than dangerous. His only real concern was a mysterious undercover American observer. What might be worth observing on the frozen, empty wastes of Antarctica, no one knew. When the base suddenly goes off air, no one is unduly concerned. Antarctic communications have always been patchy. Then strange creatures are sighted in the surrounding seas and the crew are suddenly thrown into savage battle against prehistoric monsters and the brutal elements. Can anyone survive Ice Station Death?
