FIRST CONTACTS can be tricky. Even when we meet a fellow human being for the first time, the interaction can be unpredictable. And when it comes to first contact on the cosmic scale, itÕs a whole other ballgame altogether!

Pulpcult presents a Science fiction & fantasy anthology where every story has been crafted on the theme of ÔFirst ContactÔ.

We have a selection of rich PHILOSOPHICAL SAGAS, where a human is visited by an alien with ideas that put humanityÕs flawed institutions to shame, and even a tale that questions whether the human race is remotely ready for First Contact.

The CURIOUS & MYSTERIOUS traits of an alien civilisation becomes pronounced in stories where aliens appear to have perfected astrology, or taken over an entire city of Earth for reasons too obscure to fathom.

Cosmic Contact also holds within its pages some terrifying HORROR STORIES featuring aliens who seem to stalk and kill children, or wish to conquer, manipulate and even incubate humans by taking over our minds and bodies.

And then there are some classic sci fi ADVENTURES, from aliens apparently landing in ancient Samoa, to a strange foot race on an alien planet that leads to both starry romance and startling revelations!

would have been better as a blog
Format: Paperback
First off, I have read over half of this book, but ultimately decided to put it down because it had a low signal-to-noise ratio. If the second half is filled with magic, I apologize in advance. What I liked: * The author is very honest. He does not shy away from discussing his failures (and successes). * The postmortem on the game "Life of Pixel" was especially good. * Interviews from various indie studios are sprinkled throughout. What I did not like: * A number of pieces of information were already out-of-date. This makes me think that the concepts should have been discussed at a higher level. For example, specifics about game engine costs are discussed. These numbers have changed since E3 of this year. Definitely recheck any information before formulating a plan based on the book's recommendations. * The indie studio interviews are a wasted opportunity in that they each interview has the same set of questions. It's like a questionnaire was sent out via email and the responses were pasted into the book. * When discussing commercial options, such as engines or other software packages, blurbs once again appear to be cut-and-pasted (this time verbatim from the package's web site). * Some of the advice is too broad and too light. For example, when writing about how to create a press release, the author discuss how to write in the active voice. I'm frankly not looking for writing tips in my Indie Game Developer Handbook. * The book is filled with tons of web links. My paperback copy was not so useful here. I ultimately left the book with the impression that the information would have been much better in the form of a blog. The author could have really gone in depth with the parts of the book that shined while keeping the surveys of topics in a form that serves them better (i.e. web links on the web).

Helpful information and Questions to consider
Format: Paperback
As a writer of science fiction and fantasy I had already looked into the physical aspects of the worlds I was creating, but I quickly realized I needed to include society and culture in the worldbuilding. I started a search for information, questionairres, or guidelines to use and found very little that would be helpful to me as a writer. Until I came across this book. It's exactly what I needed. It touches on multiple aspects of beliefs and practices and asks questions to help you think through what you want for your worlds, even if it's mostly backgroud. A very useful tool.
