Alien Signal
Joe Vadalma
The human race had been listening for proof of intelligent extra-terrestrial life for about as long as they'd had radio. When
the signal came, it was only natural that they'd send the first FTL ship to investigate—even if it was decades later. The
crew of the Alien Explorer was surprised by what they found on Nihal 5, but there were bigger surprises to come.
BANG!
Mike Driver
Jeff figured that working in the cemetery was better than some minimum-wage McJob. After he met Kenneth, his hulking, malodorous,
simple-minded 'boss', he wasn't so sure. And then things got much, much worse.
Basements
Mike Garza
George and Irene tried to make the best of it, even though their father was a drunk who treated the 'ladies' he brought
home better than he treated his own children. He never hit them, but when he sent them to the basement, they had to deal with spiders
(Irene's least favorite thing) and… other things.
City of Teeth
Joseph Jude
Daphne was pretty much convinced that becoming a private investigator had been a huge mistake. And the case she was working on
now, hunting for a wayward husband in some town so small she couldn't even find it really bit the big one.

Dead Man Detail
Vera Searles
Qualifying for the Academy would improve her life immeasurably. But it was hard to pass a test when you couldn't be sure what
was real — or even who you were.
Family Ties
E. S. Strout
Something strange had happened near the galactic core, distorting a condensing disc of gas and dust on an interstellar scale. And
something was affecting the Earth's gravitational field. Coincidence? Maybe…
Into the Light
Brad Baker
Ricky couldn't understand why his mother was so set on contacting his late father. Dead was dead, and wasting money on seances
wouldn't change that. But Dora had her reasons… and the medium had something Ricky would never have expected.
Middle of Nowhere
Feza Akcasu
Sandra Pillsbury was the most beautiful woman in the world, and the most elusive. No photographer had ever snapped a candid
picture of her; no gossip rag knew where she lived or what she did away from the public eye. Lenny Marcus was going to change all
that — at least, that's what he thought.
