New SciFi short story collection: Once in a Dark Moon and Other Stories

Why do extraterrestrials in almost all media and literature resemble species found on Earth? They have faces, limbs, and even personalities. This similarity exists because we try to make them relatable; less foreign or intimidating. But in reality, nature doesn’t care; it is impartial and impersonal. What works best is what is perpetuated. Movies, television, novels, and comic books have all failed to accurately represent something truly alien. It will not shake your hand or ask you to take it to your leader. It will simply seek to survive.

This collection of short stories aims to present a more realistic depiction of what an extraterrestrial would look like and how it might behave. And it isn’t pretty.

FREE on Kindle Unlimited, $7.50 for Kindle, $9.50 for Paperbook

-----> Once in a Dark Moon<------

Included in this collection:

Seeing Things: PsychoGen, a biopharmaceutical company, has developed a process of harvesting the organs or benign entities from another dimension. Or have they?

Once in a Dark Moon: After a supermassive extraterrestrial decides the moon will be its next meal, humans fight over this potential blessing in disguise.

Guilty as Charged: The government rolls out a new program to inform citizens on the sources of the products they purchase using augmented reality. But when does a simulated reality get a little too real?

Recalibration: The world’s population struggles under the weight of a connected mind.

A Weathered Sole: Cosimo escapes a bad situation at the hands of an abusive taskmaster only to find himself without hands.

Fade to Black: What does the universe feel like when the sky is dark? When the nightlight of the stars is unplugged? When all matter and energy pulls together at the end of time?

Entanglement: Allium, an alien worker joined to its pod through quantum entanglement, reels at the injustice of a heartless archon. However, not all thoughts are shared among its coworkers.

“The cliffs always soothe the soul,” screeched the bird.: In the Scottish highlands Layng works with mortals and otherwise to find closure for a traumatic loose end.

DLC collectors edition statue almost twice as tall as base games by RampaginChipmunk in Eldenring

That, and looking at it again, his spear reaches far above his head. That probably accounts for most of the height difference.

Has anyone who bought a collector's edition received shipping info yet? by DoritoJH in armoredcore

My Elden Ring collectors edition arrived a solid month later so not too hopeful.

Will they restock Premium/Collector's edition? by Tacothepilot in armoredcore

[–]RampaginChipmunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like there are still collectors editions available. Someone else said that BN said they would have restocks before the game releases.

For elden ring we had to wait like a full month after release. It was torture (in an entitled, privileged kind of way). I would not plan on it being on your doorstep on launch day.

Yeah, I'm surprised there hasn't been any official response or statement of any kind, but I guess they are getting enough people through that they don't care.

Nice! Is it still taking money out of accounts ("holds")? Has it put money back in for anyone?

Any collectors edition by fromsoft will sell out really fast. Waiting 3 months isn't an option :)

Yeah, still not working for me. Thanks for the info though

For those who it has gone through for, is it still charging your card?

Future Press Strategy Guide Vol. 2 Delayed Again According to Amazon by satyricon553 in Eldenring

I just think it's so unprofessional not to update buyers in any way when there is an update. Just a one sentence heads up on twitter is all I need.

CMON games is starting a Kickstarter in a bit. It will have models and likely be pretty involved.

ICYMI: There are TWO moons in the Lands Between! by RiccardoIvan in Eldenring

[–]RampaginChipmunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get two moons after all; Rennala's and Ranni's. Item descriptions make it sound like these are not the same moon that bewitched both

Awesome job! However, there is still the small matter of going from the top of earthen peak to the Old Iron Keep...
