Weird Alien

In the deepest, darkest depths of space, the stars are cold, malevolent eyes looking across a vast graveyard of the unknown, the unnameable, and the undead. Here the planets are tombs and the moons haunted catacombs. And here are extraterrestrial nightmares beyond imagining. There is no benevolent first contact. No utopian worlds. Only alien horrors.

Basically, many of us like to think we have figured it all out. However, whether we ...

The sky over the 1888 American frontier was not supposed to look like this.
