I'm Olivia. Let's just say my granola's crunchier than most, but not by choice. I get sick if we stray from my lifestyles. I live in the same town where my father grew up, and will probably live here forever unless I get out into the world. I'll see big cities and go to college where they people live on campus. I have a plan to change my life and see places I've never dreamed of, and I still don't want to miss. A small change, a fence coming down across the street, changes everything. I'm drawn to the field behind that fence, and the field is drawn to me, too. Now there's a hot punk and cat and...a stalker... And they want to make sure I never leave. Ever. Will it let me go?

Herein you'll find thought-provoking, wondrous, hopeful, frightening, and deeply human tales on the themes of alien and abduction. Such stories have been with us far longer than most realize, perhaps for thousands of years, challenging humankind's very position in the cosmos. Their power is perennial, and here we have eleven of the best. Alien Abduction features short fiction by A.J. Lavender, Amanda Kespohl, Erica Ruppert, Kari Ann Ramadorai, J.L. Forrest, and others. Watch for strange lights in the sky. Beware the standing stones and hollow hills. Prepare to commune.
