Horrific Scribes Presents: Invasions of World, Home, Body, and Mind
Invaders threaten us from above, below, within, and beyond. Not scared enough yet? This anthology will help! From the Horrific Scribes web archive of original short fiction (and some poetry) come 24 selections that involve horrific invasions. Only 23 are short stories--one is a group of poems--and that's not the only way the book cover deceives you. None of the stories involves UFOs attacking Earth. Horrific Scribes seeks "the provocative, scary, and strange," and these works offer a wide array of perspectives on invasion, many of them unfamiliar. They stretch and cross the boundaries of horror, sci-fi, and other speculative fiction with dark edges. Settle in and let your imagination be overrun by the invasions conjured by Phoebe Barr, Jim Best, Amanda M. Blake, Jon Clendaniel, David Corse, Richard Dansky, John Davis, Laura DeHaan, T. Fox Dunham, H.J. Dutton, Joseph Hirsch, Tom Johnstone, Kasimma, Emmanuel Komen, Leonardo J. Lamanna, Steven Mathes, Thomas C. Mavroudis, Trisha Ridinger McKee, Eric Nash, M. Brandon Robbins, Cassandra O'Sullivan Sachar, Sydney Sackett, K. Thompson, and Fendy S. Tulodo.
"Intrusions, incursions and insidious infiltrations of every ilk: some of these unconventional tales are funny, some creepy, some weird, and a few downright disturbing, but they’re all entertaining and thought-provoking—let them get their hooks in and they’ll invade your mind."
—L.N. Hunter, author of The Feather and the Lamp
"This book was right up my alley. It's filled with scary science fiction stories of all stripes. Some feel like they could happen tomorrow, while others are otherworldly to the extreme, and I love that combination. The push-pull of suspense and the suspension of disbelief made this book a page-turner... These are the kind of stories that send a shiver down your spine... stories that make you wonder, "What if..." while also thinking, "I hope not." ...I assume that it is very difficult to put together a collection where the reader enjoys every story, but the editors have somehow pulled it off with Invasions of World, Home, Body, and Mind."
