As dark a sci fi tale as any I’ve ever read

This snappy paperback short story collection is a good sampling of author Amy Grech’s talents.
Why should we care about this novella-length ALIENS knock-off? Because it was written by Stephen R. Bissette, the famed illustrator, editor and horror movie scholar who’s made an indelible mark on the horror field.
Not to be confused with a certain other similarly titled account, this ALIEN involves John Mortala, an eccentric billionaire obsessed with UFOs. He devises a scheme in which he agrees to pay $1,000,000 (an amount that obviously went a lot farther back in ’77 than it does now) for physical proof of the existence of flying saucers.
THE AGE OF INSECTS: NOT HUMAN tells of a species of human-insect hybrids called “brids,” led by a multi-armed freak named Darwin who wants to take over the Earth, and a band of human “Purity Troopers” looking to repel the brids.
Janusz Majewski is one of Poland’s most durable and prolific filmmakers
Fun, hyper-gory Italian trash!

The saga of what is now commonly known as THE THING has a 70-plus year history that, not unlike the unstoppable shape-shifting “Thing” itself
Combining a compellingly offbeat story with some very potent (and disturbing) political overtones, this is an intriguing, innovative and unprecedented film that deserves a US release
