    About this ebook

    Extraterrestrial Encounters

    A Collection of Sci-Fi Stories

    Are you ready to step into the unknown?

    In these 18 sci-fi stories, you'll encounter aliens of all shapes and sizes, curious (and sometimes unlucky) space explorers, and ordinary Earthlings having otherworldly experiences.

    Some of the out-of-this-world tales in this short fiction anthology include:

    "The Hoax" - A reporter learns that a creature from another planet is a dangerous thing to fool with

    "It Grows on You" - A strange kind of mold has invaded an office, and it's the perfect tool for revenge

     "What Lurks Below" - Everyone knows there's no life on Mars, but nobody thought about what might be lurking under the surface…

    "The Con" - An alien becomes an unlikely ally to a down-on-his-luck petty crook

    "Space Cowboy" - When a second-rate rodeo star is abducted by aliens, he makes the most of the situation

     "They Just Keep Eating" - A Nebraska farmer encounters a menace from space… and it's hungry

    This collection of speculative fiction will stimulate your imagination, unnerve you just a little, and make you wonder… "What if we're not alone?"
