I M Telling You They Re Aliens

Rob worries about everything - being bitten by snakes to dinosaurs waiting round the corner. So when the Vorks move in across the road, he is convinced that they're aliens and that he must save the world!

They are tiny. They are tall. They are gray. They are green. They survey our world with enormous glowing eyes. To conduct their shocking experiments, they creep in at night to carry humans off to their spaceships. Yet there is no evidence that they exist at all. So how could anyone believe he or she was abducted by aliens? Or want to believe it? To answer these questions, psychologist Susan Clancy interviewed and evaluated "abductees"--old and young, male and female, religious and agnostic. She listened closely to their stories--how they struggled to explain something strange in their remembered experience, how abduction seemed plausible, and how, having suspected abduction, they began to recollect it, aided by suggestion and hypnosis. Clancy argues that abductees are sane and intelligent people who have unwittingly created vivid false memories from a toxic mix of nightmares, culturally available texts (abduction reports began only after stories of extraterrestrials appeared in films and on TV), and a powerful drive for meaning that science is unable to satisfy. For them, otherworldly terror can become a transforming, even inspiring experience. "Being abducted," writes Clancy, "may be a baptism in the new religion of this millennium." This book is not only a subtle exploration of the workings of memory, but a sensitive inquiry into the nature of belief.

AROKH I broke the rules and stole an auction item from her buyers. Because somehow, they'd managed to abduct a Gryfala princess. Though... she doesn't look, or act, or sound quite like I thought one of her kind would. But I'm merely a Rakhii gladiator; this is the closest I've actually ever been to a princess. I'd be considered lucky indeed if she chose me to guard her. Instead, I want more. I need her to claim me. Because she doesn't know it, but now I can't let her go. ANGIE Woke up in a freaking auction pen. With no coffee. But there were aliens. And they didn't bid on me out of the goodness of their hearts. FML. Then this nice alien showed up in the nick of time, but he keeps referring to me as "Princess" and I'm starting to worry what he'll do when he finds out that there's been a little case of mistaken identity, that I'm not royalty - see, I'm not even whatever alien he mistook me for... I'm just a human. ****Content warning: For readers 18 years and older Contains explicit sexual situations, dark themes, sensitive subjects, and violence.

Richard Stevenson was born on this planet 51 years ago, though he's still waiting to be beamed aboard a saucer bound for Zeti Reticuli and the outer meninges. He is the author of thirteen previous collections, including, most recently, A Murder of Crows: New & Selected Poems (Black Moss Press, 1999), Nothing Definite Yeti (YA verse, Ekstasis Editions, 1998), Live Evil: A Homage To Miles Davis (Thistledown Press, 2000), and Hot Flashes: Maiduguri Haiku, Senryu, and Tanka (Ekstasis Editions, 2001). He teaches and helps run a reading series, and occasionally performs his work with the jazz-poetry troupe Naked Ear and children's verse/ jazz-rock troupe Sasquatch, and has called Lethbridge, Alberta (wear the fox hat!) home for the past thirteen years. No one's punched his ticket yet, but he remains hopeful that there is intelligent life "out there." Book jacket.
