A list of those "8 Stories + 1 Screenplay" had been shown in the description of the associated Amazon entry, but was later removed. I managed to find all those eight stories and read them. They can be easily mapped into various screens in the trailer unveiled the other day, so I figure the list is credible:

#1: The Screaming of the Tyrannosaur (2017), by Stant Litore
#2: For He Can Creep (2019), by Siobhan Carroll
#3: Spider Rose (1982), by Bruce Sterling (also S3E6 Swarm)
#4: How Zeke Got Religion at 20,000 Feet (2018), by John McNichol
#5: Golgotha (2018), by Dave Hutchinson
#6: 400 Boys (1983), by Marc Laidlaw
#7: The Other Large Thing (2016), by John Scalzi
#8: Your Smart Appliances Talk About You Behind Your Back (2016), by John Scalzi (also contributing to 5 episodes in previous seasons)
#9: Close Encounters of the Mini-Kind (Screenplay), by Robert Bisi & Andy Lyon (also: S3E4 Night of the Mini Dead)

Some pieces are older than I'd expected. Nonetheyless they are all enjoyable reads, especially #1 and #3.
