About
Alienated Synopsis
Three Kids Called Sam. One Alien Bioweapon.
Three teenagers, each an outcast in their own ways, stumble upon an unearthly entity as it's born. As they bond over this shared secret and the incredible abilities of their new discovery, the trio soon realizes the truth: this creature is dangerous...and in need of prey.
But as each of them tries to decide how they can use this newfound power to do some real good in a broken world, they'll find that the greatest threat to humanity may not come from the stars - but from the truth behind their seemingly good intentions.

About Simon Spurrier
Simon "Si" Spurrier writes novels and comics.
His work in the latter field stretches from award winning creator-owned books such as Numbercruncher, Six-Gun Gorilla and The Spire to projects in the U.S. mainstream like Hellblazer, The Dreaming, and X-Men. It all began with a series of twist-in-the-tail stories for the UK's beloved 2000AD, which ignited an enduring love for genre fiction. His latest book, Coda, is being published by Boom! Studios at present.
His prose works range from the beatnik neurosis-noir of Contract to the occult whodunnit A Serpent Uncoiled via various franchise and genre-transgressing titles. In 2016 he took a foray into experimental fiction with the e-novella Unusual Concentrations: a tale of coffee, crime and overhead conversations.
He lives in Margate, regards sushi as part of the plotting process, and has the fluffiest of cats.
