Pops looks the same. So why does everything feel wrong?
Fourteen-year-old William-Silly to his family-expects two weeks at his grandfather's outback roadhouse to mean heat, chores and sleeping under the stars.
Then he sees strange figures behind the ice freezer. Green goop appears in the yard. And Pops starts acting differently: missing jokes, watching customers and chewing ice long after everyone else has gone to bed.
Everyone has an explanation. Silly isn't convinced. Because the man wearing his grandfather's smile knows how to run the shop... but seems to be learning how to be human.
Aliens in the Outback is the first book in Horror in the Outback: a short Australian science-fiction horror novel with creeping suspense, family humour and heart.
