What is this book about?

The apocalypse will be televised!

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible.

In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth—from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds—collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground.

The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot. A dungeon so enormous, it circles the entire globe.

Only a few dare venture inside. But once you're…

What is this book about?

It could be worse. You could be stuck with a literal shoulder demon. After dying and being reborn into a world that's built like a video game, Jim has found himself stuck in a very old world style new player zone for low level adventurers. Unfortunately, the zone fell out of use centuries ago, and no one told the monsters they were supposed to take it easy on the Noobs. Even worse, the only new player around is Jim. Jim has been given an opportunity, and he'll do his best to take advantage of it.

What is my book about?

Step into the unknown with Songs of the Unfathomable, a haunting collection of cosmic horror stories that explore the fragile border between human understanding and the vast, merciless forces of the universe.

Through five chilling tales, author Callum Matthews masterfully conjures realms where time and space unravel, and humanity's place in the cosmos is stripped bare. From the depths of alien oceans to the furthest reaches of space, these stories reveal the lurking horrors that defy logic and comprehension.
