Why on Earth: An Alien Invasion Anthology edited by Rosie Thor & Vania Stoyanova should be on your radar, because nothing says escapism *in these times* as much as aliens! Like literally…beam me up, get me away from here! 😉 Also, I just love anthologies, reading short stories feels so accomplishing…not too much filler – story gets right to the point…I might be weird. Also, the cover is gorgeous!! Plus, nothing like some alien invasion to help you realize your identity and love.
