How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Over all, I really liked this book. I think there was maybe one that wasn’t up to the standards of the others, but I really enjoyed reading the common theme of aliens. Some of these stories are gonna freak you out! ;)

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed bag of alien themed stories
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 29, 2022
This was certainly a mixed bag of stories, all with the theme of aliens. Some I liked and others were just OK. There were definitely some interesting ideas in some. Nice mixed bag of alien stories.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 4, 2021

The first two stories were so bad I am debating whether to continue. Very amateurish writing. It’s the sort of thing that would be on a horror writing blog, not from a published professional. I wanted to love this series of books but if this is any indication I can’t recommend. Update read the next story and it was worse. This is barely at the level of vanity publishing.

If you like short stories and science fiction you will enjoy this book. It was a fun read and just long enough for an anthology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scary little green men...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 30, 2020

“A is for Aliens” is the first of a truly ambitious series of anthologies from Red Cape Publishing. Running through the alphabet, each one will have a set theme, from aliens to beasts, to cannibals to demons. I’m intrigued to see what X and Z are going to be.

I love the idea of horror venturing into sci-fi territory – especially in film. “Alien” and “The Thing” are probably right up there in my Top 10, along with the astoundingly good short film “Zygote” by Neill Blomkamp and Oats Studios. Shamefully, I have to admit that I haven’t really read much in the genre. Most of my horror tends to deal with other kinds of monsters / human killers, but “A is for Aliens” gave me the perfect opportunity to remedy that.

As with their previous anthologies, Red Cape Publishing bring together a cast of indie authors who, while you may never have heard of them before, definitely bring their A game.

Each author has taken the brief and made it their own, and each story is superbly well-written.

As with any anthology, there were some I liked more than others, but they all work fantastically well as part of a collection. You’ve got creepy stuff, gory stuff, and WTF stuff. There’s definitely something for everyone.

Some personal highlights for me were: “Even in Darkness, We See Them” by Megan Neumann, “The Pioneer” by P.J. Blakey-Novis, “The Blue World” by Jeremy Megargee, “The Hazing” by Theresa Jacobs, and “Minor Constellations” by Dona Fox.

It’s definitely worth a go 🙂

5.0 out of 5 stars A thrilling variety of extraterrestrial tales
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 13, 2020

A is for Aliens (A to Z of Horror Book 1) is an extremely well put together collection of terrifying tales about creatures from beyond the stars.

No tale tread the same ground. From rural murders to alien abduction to Mark Anthony Smith's Canadian woodland horror and P.J. Blakey-Novis futurists intergalactic war, there is something in this collection for everyone.

With ambitious plans to release 26 collections in the series, A for Aliens is a tremendous first entry and I'm looking forward for more from Red Cape Publishing and its team of talented authors.
