This is it, the end of the world!

Now I’d be remiss if I didn’t include a story about that famous and alleged Mayan prediction. Plus, it’s Christmas time and Santa has to make an appearance, too. Heck, why not toss in a classic fantasy, a superhero story, and a zombie apocalypse novelette for good measure as well? So before it all comes crashing down – or at least before the lights come down – please enjoy this month’s issue.

+ They Come Back by Amberle L. Husbands
+ Zantook the Santa by Francis W. Alexander
+ The Apprentice by Erin M. Kinch
+ Hath No Fury by Stoney M. Setzer
+ A Different Blessing by Milton Davis

Oh, and Merry Christmas. John 1.5 – The Editor

It’s October/November-Fest here at Residential Aliens, which means another great round of SF/F variety awaits your consumption. Read, eat, drink, be merry, and enjoy the following stories.

Silence of the Imbeciles by John C. Conway
The Light in Everything by Dan Grace
Masters of the Earth by Margaret Karmazin
The Newborn by Alex Mellen

Just so you know what you’re feasting on this month, we begin with two speculative stories, followed by two science fiction pieces. Nice balance, don’t you think? Have a great Oct/Nov-fest! – the Editor

The seasons are changing! It’s almost “fall,” so we’re glad you “stumbled” upon a new issue of Residential Aliens (groan). To celebrate the transition from summer to autumn, half the issue is SF and the other half is spiritual suspense, with the last story combining the two.

Here’s the ToC of RA 6.5:

• Things Lost in the War by Candra Hope, Science Fiction
• Things We Break by Waite Jorin, Science Fiction
• A Compassionate Death by Ash Krafton, Spiritual Suspense
• Dead Jealous by J M Lawrence, Spiritual Suspense
• What Rough Beast by Ryan Notch, SF/Spiritual Thriller

Thanks again for stopping by. Feel free to leave a comment; writer’s like the feedback!

This month’s issue is hot…off the press. And I think you’ll discover that these stories are sizzling works of fiction as well.

In our July offerings, you’ll find a bit of steampunk flash, zombie goodness, speculative parable, literary western, and angelic fantasy – all for the low, low price of free. Aren’t small press zines great? Feel free to comment and spread the word that a new issue of Residential Aliens is up!

Sorry for the hiatus. Life.
