Alien Horrors by Tim Curran
Pages 231
Year 2022
This was the best anthology I read this month, and the month is not even over...
As you know Tim Curran is one my favorite writers and this is the reason why. This collection basically joins several stories, probably in the same universe and creates several types of horror. The reason I say it's interconnected is because there are several hints (in this case technology) like the armor they wear that is truly a find, basically takes cares of the wearer, giving food, taking charge of the waste and even technology information. There are other info that connects like some organizations. Apart from that, each story is set in a different planet (as far as I am aware).
Do you love Aliens? Event Horizon? The Thing? Predator among other stories? Then this book is for you.
Do you love star wars, star trek or dune? Well maybe this will not be your cup of tea since this is not space opera.
-Each tale is different and no two try to be the same, you've got people stranded on planets
-You've got some monsters that defy all kind of logic and are at top of the food chain.
-There is a story about a solitary man living in a dead world by himself.
-You've got a migration of alien hive through a mining camp on a previous thought-unhabitable world
If you wish to read sci-fi horror novel , then this is it. There aren't many to be honest.
There are like some two stories I didn't enjoy as much but overall perfect
9/10
