The Feeding Cave:

Thirty‑six years before Mendel's Ladder, Book 1 of the Neoevolution Earth Series, this standalone prequel short story drops you into the light‑starved tunnels beneath Downver, where an exiled family’s bid for survival brushes against a hungry intelligence. The Feeding Cave deepens the mythos of Neoevolution Earth, unveiling the formative terror behind the enigmatic Hunter readers met in Winter's Remains (Book 2). Perfect for both first‑time readers and longtime fans, the story showcases Neoevolution Earth's signature blend of bioluminescent eco‑horror and post‑apocalyptic suspense without giving away the fates that ripple through the main series.

Fungus Lunaris:

On humanity’s lunar frontier, Moon Base Epsilon tends vast fields of Fungus Lunaris—the miracle organism that turned Earth into a near‑utopia. But when a routine harvest team ventures into the glowing mushroom towers, something far older than commerce stirs beneath the regolith. Fungus Lunaris blends hard‑science ambience with creeping cosmic dread, following a crew whose banter and boredom fracture into terror as the Moon itself starts to whisper with madness. Perfect for fans of claustrophobic space horror, this stand‑alone tale explores the price of taming an alien ecosystem that decides to tame us instead.
