William Tenn, The Campfire Collection: Thrilling, Chilling Tales of Alien Encounters
"All those years of lurid magazine covers showing extremely nubile females being menaced in three distinct colors by assorted monstrosities; those horror movies, those invasion-from-outer-space novels, those Sunday supplement fright splashes—all those sturdy psychological ruts I had to re-track. Not to mention the shudders elicited by mention of 'worms,' the regulation distrust of even human "furriners,” the superstitious dread of creatures who had no visible place to park a soul.("Betelgeuse Bridge)"

"كل تلك السنوات من أغلفة المجلات الفاضحة التي تُظهر إناثًا يافعات فاتنات يتعرضن للتهديد بثلاثة ألوان مختلفة من قبل وحوش متنوعة؛ تلك أفلام الرعب، تلك روايات الغزو من الفضاء الخارجي، تلك صرخات الفزع في ملاحق الأحد – كل تلك الأخاديد النفسية المتينة التي كان عليّ أن أُعيد مسارها. ناهيك عن الارتعاشات التي يثيرها ذكر "الديدان"، والريبة المعتادة حتى من "الغرباء" البشر، والخوف الخرافي من المخلوقات التي لا تملك مكانًا ظاهرًا لإيواء روح."
