Aliens in the Sky shows a lot of social conscience for a book aimed at YA audience. With such sentiments as ‘girls can be heroes too’, awareness of the effects of climate change, themes of activism and even a comment about race relations can all be found here. There was also a particular level of violence, or at least hinted at, in this book – making it an interesting read overall!
Over the past couple of weeks, I have really got the sci-fi bug. Whilst you won’t find me watching Star Trek or Star Wars anytime soon, I have been enjoying science fiction, particularly books that feature extra-terrestrials, but with a horror twist.
This of course led me to research what sci-fi horror titles are out there. Here is that list!
Convinced his parents are aliens, Rob decides he must collect proof. My Alien Parents is 44 pages long, the shortest Stine book I have read.
Bloody Disgusting, along with other listicles on the net, hailed Ringu as one of the best ’90s horror films of all time. Universally the film is held in high regard. Boasting an almost-perfect rating on Rotten Tomatoes (98%), it also had a solid audience rating of 7.2 /10 on IMDb.
But as I delved into this cinematic gem, I couldn’t help but wonder: does it truly live up to the hype?
