The Amazing and Impossible Animals Bundle - Curated by Nick Mamatas:
We are not alone. Indeed, in many ways we are the newcomers. When the genus Homo gained sentience, we were able to perceive the aliens around us—the world of animals—in entirely new ways. We worshipped animals, ran from them, hunted them, domesticated them, consumed them and in turn were consumed by them. We even imagined impossible animals to guard us, beguile us, and thrill us.
And of course, we humans, the only species who can write, turn our minds and pens to the world of animals, both actual and impossible. Wouldn't it be great to talk to the animals, or transform into one? Wouldn't it be terrible if you went outside and were just pecked to death by birds, right now? This bundle has it all.
