A collection of alien themed short stories picked by Bruce Coville. So far out of reading Bruce Coville's Books of Monsters, Aliens, and Ghosts one after another; I must say I enjoyed this one the best. The only reason I gave it four stars is because some of the stories weren't as entertaining as the rest. My favorite two stories in this book were "Invasion" by Ray Bradbury and "To Serve Man" which is one of the more famous episodes of the Twilight Zone.
I liked this book because it is about liens that attack boys. I think that this was a difficult book. It is not an AR book.

Author Information
Bruce Coville was born in Syracuse, New York, on May 16, 1950. He spent one year at Duke University in North Carolina. Coville started working seriously at becoming a writer when he was seventeen. He was not able to start selling stories right away, so he had many other jobs, including toymaker, gravedigger, cookware salesman, and assembly line show more worker. Eventually, Coville became an elementary teacher, and worked with second and fourth graders. Coville married Katherine Dietz an artist, and they began trying to create books together. It wasn't until 1977 that they finally sold their first book, The Foolish Giant. They joined together on two other books after that, Sarah's Unicorn and The Monster's Ring, and followed them with Goblins in the Castle, Aliens Ate My Homework, and The World's Worst Fairy Godmother.
