The Aliens are coming! The Aliens are coming! O Happy Day!And then...the course of First Contact never runs smooth. We present to you a collection of stories from twenty authors around the world, stories of First Contact that start optimistically (for someone) but then, well, things happen. These stories range from hopeful to hilarious to horrifying. Some will make you laugh; others will make you cry. Some will leave you with the disquiet you can only get from a good horror story. First Contact, yay!
