Phillip Carter

From godlike alien squid running their own pirated copy of a game called 'Earth, ' to psychic crystals with a hunger for cartoonish violence against anyone called Susan, Who Built The Humans? is a relentless exploration of weird Science Fiction and even weirder comedy. ★★★★★ "whether you're into Douglas Adams or Isaac Asimov or Robert Heinlein, there's something in here for you." And it's so much more. The eleven universes in WBTH can be read front-to-back or in any other order, yielding new connections, jokes, and insights with each delirious reread, becoming a book that changes shape each time you pick it up. ★★★★★ "Carter writes like a madman and that is truly the only way these stories could have been written. Just like the scribblings of a mad genius" Part comedian, part author, all sasquatch, Phillip Carter brings a "devastatingly acidic wit" and an oversized forehead to the literary scene. Crashing out on Earth in his makeshift starship, he brings us stories about everything from time travelling crab-men, to perversely poetic accounts of plutonian probing practices. Then, without a moment's hesitation, he launches into a dark new reality where robotic beings chew through slabs of solid time, spirals off into a pocket dimension where a little boy called Gord tries to unwrite his own story, and finally lands on the last planet at the edge of the universe, where two reptilian scientists discuss the implications of a devastating discovery. All of which is contained neatly inside Who Built The Humans? This is a huge build-your-own-adventure book for anyone with a twisted sense of humour. Because in this book, you get to decide Who Built The Humans? (and if you like, you can also decide what kills them). ★★★★★ "Incredibly weird, laugh out loud funny and very clever." ★★★★★ "An astonishing creation, filled with conjecture and supposition. I can honestly say that I have never read anything like this before. The scope is Universe wide and simultaneously microscopically small and incredibly intense. Phillip Carter has taken the philosophical idea that all of reality is but the dream of some immense cosmic being and dragged it kicking and screaming into a new existence [...] Phillip also infuses the book with an acerbic devastatingly acidic wit compounded with a bone dry sense of humour. The author's obvious intelligence shines through in both the creative imagination and the beauty of the language." ★★★★★ "Alien architects, infant gods, and your run-of-the-mill tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorists are just a few of the people you'll meet within these 47 stories [...] The content aside, the thing I love most about Who Built The Humans? is the writing style. The cadence of the story telling is absolutely stunning." Who Built The Humans? cannot be accurately described without causing several issues with the spacetime continuum. It must instead be experienced.

Nori Furukawa Dubbed 'Spooky Nori' by his peers, this eccentric professor has just announced to the world that he has invented time travel. His plan?

T'Kxa A reptilian archaeologist on a secretive final mission, T'kxa is exploring one of the last 1000 planets in the universe. She's searching for evidence of the 'ancient ones', an enigmatic race of technologically advanced beings who could stop the stars from dying. T'Kxa's people don't believe in supernovas, but they are about start believing if she can't find what she's looking for. What she doesn't know is that she's looking in the wrong place. The 'ancient ones' are closer than she thinks.
