It spoke to the paranoia of mid-twentieth-century life, spawning such classics as Invasion of theBody Snatchers, Plan 9 From Outer Space and The Thing. Why do so many damn aliens want to invade Earth anyway? And who's going to stop them? Is this going to take long? Only I was going to go to the pub later. By turns funny, blackly comic and thoughtful, Invaders From Beyond: First Wave chronicles three unlikely invasion bids, in dingy commercial estates and broken-down council estates, where unlikely heroes - kids, screw-ups, survivors * Perfect for fans of Attack the Block and The World's End, this is alien invasions with a twist. Witty, irreverent, strange and compelling. * The authors will be taking part in some joint promotional activity, both on the Rebellion website and on other genre sites. * We will be running a social media campaign focussing on the alien invasion hook, to include paid advertising on Twitter and Facebook.
Autorenporträt
Colin Sinclair's short stories have appeared in Fox Spirit Books' anthologies Guardians and Girl at the End of the World. His favourite word is indolent. He often wonders if his bio should have jokes. Tim Major's time-travel thriller novel, You Don't Belong Here, was published by Snowbooks in September 2016. His first novella, Carus & Mitch , was shortlisted for a This Is Horror Award. Julian Benson is the news editor for PCGamesN, a website about video games, their makers, and the people who devote their lives to them. He once interviewed the space pope of an online universe and he won't shut up about it.
