      This anthology uses seven stories to showcase the depth of the sci-fi/horror genre blend. They feature concepts as varied as the horror of the human response when aliens come and don't try to take over, glasses that open an illicit portal, being stranded on a ruined earth populated by vicious monsters, and even a horrific, dystopian twist on "The Gift of the Magi." While at first glance, the stories all seem very different, it becomes clear that they are all united by the authors' intimate focus on the personal relationships and interactions at the heart of these vast ideas. That narrative choice anchors the existential fear, allowing it to resonate with readers in their heads and hearts, even as it hits them solidly in the gut. VERDICT Sci-fi/horror mash-ups have been gaining in popularity, and this anthology provides a great overview of what readers can expect across this broad genre blend. A good selection for readers who enjoyed Womb City by Tlotlo Tsamaase, The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling, Paradise-1 by David Wellington, or anything by S.A. Barnes or Blake Crouch.
