This short story is an attempt to capture the "New Weird" genre style most notably established by author Jeff Vandermeer in "Annihilation" and other recent works.

THEY SWARM, THEY MULTIPLY, THEY BREED . . . High amounts of radiation can mutate a species-a fact that holds devastating consequences for the crew onboard the Nostrodamus. Now, as the spaceship journeys back to Earth, an unknown species is creeping and crawling in the ventilation shafts. As the radiation levels rise, the colony begins to hunt. The mineworkers must fight the onslaught to stay alive. Management was supposed to protect them from radiation and from an extraterrestrial infestation. But maybe they were lying all along. Now the crew must face the consequences. THE HALF BREED offers a nightmarish blend of sci-fi horror and thriller by bestselling author Nathan Harker. Behind the paranoia of an alien infestation and genetic mutation, this story is a homage to giants of the genre: Alan Dean Foster's Aliens, Prometheus, and Predator; H.P. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu"; and Stephen King's The Mist. Inspired by H.R. Giger, iGraphics Global created unsettling artwork for the series, encapsulating the phobia of alienation. This novel marks the debut of a franchise that explores extraterrestrial life, space travel, and the devilishly creepy horrors of outer space that chill the marrow in your bones and twist your mind.

The first book in the Anchietas saga. On an ordinary night in Brazil, there was an abduction. Fábio Anchieta's arms were transformed. And soon the world too.

The discovery of the Mariner's Codex-an indestructible, 12,000-year-old crystalline manuscript found in a non-Euclidean chamber beneath the Atlantic-shatters the line between history and cosmic truth. For skeptical historian Lia Vance and brilliant physicist Marcus Chen, the ancient text is a beacon. It transmits frequencies that wake dormant evolutionary consciousness, selecting them and six other students (The Seven Frequencies) for an irreversible transformation. But studying the forbidden knowledge attracts the things that guard the boundaries of reality: the hostile Daemons (beings of smokeless fire) and the personalized, psychological torment of the Doppelgangers. When their professor vanishes, the Seven are forced into the university's hidden catacombs, realizing the "invasion" is a devastating Exodus. 34,000 refugees from a collapsing parallel dimension are seeking asylum, fleeing a terrifying cosmic entity known as The Consumption-a conscious impulse that dissolves dimensions into formless rest. The stakes are absolute: Lia and the Seven must risk their minds and identities to merge consciousness with the refugees, pioneering the Hybrid Awareness that will create a new human species. They have eight days to make the civilization-defining choice between mercy and caution, knowing their compassion could save 34,000 souls... or doom their own world to consumption. The Second Attempt has begun. Success means irreversible evolution. Failure means universal dissolution.

The Abduction of Stefan Bossi is the first teeth-grinding tale in Nathan Harker's Voids Untold, Mysteries Unfold-a series of grotesque alien short stories that twist fear, reality, and cosmic horror into something utterly extraterrestrial.
