Publisher's Synopsis
Science fiction. (Oh, I desperately want the next two words to be 'Double Feature, ' but no...) The term sci-fi was coined by Famous Monsters magazine publisher Forrest J. Ackerman (lovingly remembered as 'The Ackermonster, ') to go along with the new term for musical equipment, referred to as 'hi-fi, ' but in reality science fiction goes back a long way, to the days of Georg Melies, H.G. Wells and others. And now comes our little offering. There's a variety of themes represented here; an encounter with a cybernetically enhanced human (a cyborg), a boy who just wants to leave the farm and go to the big city - that is, he's tired of the little moon he's lived on his entire life and wants to see the rest of the universe - time travel, alien invasion, all the usual. But these are stories from our perspective, from our point of view. Please enjoy them. This is the latest in a series of short story anthologies from Five59.com which includes the annual 13 BITES horror collection, SUMMER DREAMS and WINTER TALES, and they keep coming every four months or so.
