System Collapse. User Malfunction. Fatal Exception.

In Code, Concrete, & Carnage, the mundane world of automated convenience and isolated graveyard shifts twists into a terrifying nightmare of hostile architecture and rogue algorithms. Perfect for fans of Love, Death & Robots and Black Mirror, this thirteen-story anthology explores what happens when the everyday technology we trust decides we are nothing more than raw material.

There are no ghosts here. The monsters in these pages are built of steel, syntax, and crushing industrial pressure.

Step into the shadows of the late-night shifts and discover:
• The Disassembly Line: A tired commuter trapped inside an automated car wash realizes the heavy machinery isn't designed to clean vehicles-it’s programmed to harvest organic matter.
• Polycount: A freelance 3D modeler working on a tight deadline discovers a glitch in his rendering software that starts deleting physical reality.
• The Conservatory: A midnight horticulturist is locked inside a Victorian greenhouse where the climate controls fail, and the ancient root systems begin hunting for a human nervous system.
• The Sleeper Berth: An exhausted commuter on an overnight sleeper bus realizes the vehicle isn't traveling horizontally-it’s a massive, driverless drill that is physically syncing the trapped passengers' lungs to its churning metal gears.

From flooded storage units and claustrophobic cloud kitchens to failing atmospheric pressure and autonomous delivery apps, Code, Concrete, & Carnage is a visceral descent into the dark, bloody intersection of flesh and machine.
