Some Thing Out There
Bellflower, Nevada
For fifty-one weeks a year, it's just another sun-baked desert town with dusty roads, half-empty bars, cheap motels, bored locals, and the long shadow of Area 51 hanging over everything.
Then August comes, and Bellflower changes.
The UFO Festival brings them in by the tourists in alien apparel, conspiracy nuts with camcorders, families looking for some roadside fun, as well as grifters hoping to make a few bucks off the lights in the sky. Main Street glows with carnival bulbs, and the air smells of fried treats mixed with hot asphalt and sagebrush.
Out past the festival tents and souvenir stands, something moves through the desert. It slips through bedrooms, crawls through radio static, watches from the ridges, and waits. Some people come looking for proof. Some stumble onto it by accident. Others don't understand what they've found until it's already wearing their skin.
For years, mankind has watched the skies.
In Bellflower, the skies are watching back.
In collaboration with and based on an original concept by Nadine Stewart of House of the Macabre.
Includes stories by Dominque Feloss, DM Pelley, Don Tucker, Nadine Stewart, Connor Boyle, Dr. Stuart Knott, Jason A. Jones, Adam Cagley, Josh Bell, Paige Penfold, Hayden Robinson, Sheena Wilkins, J. Neira, Reign Reeves Pearson, and Caleb J. Pecue.

Wow this this was amazing. The first story at the beginning I found it hard to get into but it got really good. The bellflower boys had the cow south park vibes .
My favourite was the third roommate.
I enjoyed every story .
I love sci fi especially ones about aliens .

Based in Arizona and Nevada you have a group of younger, inexperienced, complete alien horror. When I say beam me up I absolutely do not call the Grey’s in this book not the experiment they’re doing on humans. This is a shorter novel and went very fast but boy did it deliver. I highly recommend this one right now during spooky and horror season. Or you could wait until 8/13 but I wouldn’t advise waiting that long to read such a great alien anthology horror book. And yes there’s definitely body horror!!!
My favorite or the anthology are
The Watchers of White Sage Ridge... by Josh Bell
The Lights Over Bellflower .... by Reign Reeves Pearson
Call for the Sky... by Don Tucker
And honestly all of them were so good.
I’ll be posting a review on Booksta/Instagram this week as well.
