The Young Oxford Book of Aliens Book

Ready to meet the aliens? This collection of bug-eyed monster stories will introduce you to extraterrestrials both nasty and nice, ugly and elegant. Some of the world's best science fiction writers are represented--you'll find contributions from Arthur C. Clarke, Avram Davidson, Philip K. Dick, Harry Harrison, and A.E. van Vogt, among others. If you think all aliens are frail little green men with big eyes and bald heads, think again. Some of the fantastic creatures in these stories are hideous beasts, some are hypnotically fascinating, and some you can't see at all. But every alien in the book can teach you something about what it means to be human. As editor Dennis Pepper writes in his introduction, "Aliens, however they may be presented, are aspects of ourselves." This collection is designed for young adults, with beautifully detailed line-drawing illustrations throughout, but any fan of little green men (and big gray ones, and creepy ugly ones) will enjoy this topnotch collection.

  • Product Description

    This collection brings together a range of stories about aliens and our encounters with them. The stories don't necessarily portray aliens as hostile invaders. On the contrary, there are many stories that explore the interaction between aliens and humans, and other stories in which humans are themselves the aliens. Some of the stories have been specially written for this collection by writers such as Sue Welford. Others are by the best of sci-fi writers including Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and Harry Harrison.
