Does space really suck? Find out here!

“Space Sucks!” is a series of of sci-fi themed short stories written by Christina Engela collected into volumes.

Christina Engela began making up and writing stories literally as soon as she could hold a wax crayon, but only really began writing short stories at high school, frequently as compositions for English class. Thanks to her obsession with self-improvement, very few of those survived into her adulthood as they were originally. Most were rewritten until she was satisfied with them, or were included into later novels as subplots, scenes or sections of new stories. A few took on lives of their own and grew to become novellas or novels.

“Space Sucks” as a series contains the short stories that remain standing by themselves, some of Christina’s original writings appear in the first volume, together with some of her later works, unlike the second volume which consists entirely of newer works.

Reviews:

Space Sucks! is a little collection that packs a big punch!

“The rise of science fiction as we know it stemmed from short stories published in feature magazines by authors like Asimov, del Rey, and van Vogt. Short stories are an ideal medium to convey snapshots of imaginary worlds while limiting exacting details that would detract from the main focus of the story. Christina Engela’s Space Sucks! is a collection of various science fiction scenarios that, though common enough to be familiar to readers, still offer a unique perspective tinged with the authors sense of humor.

From first encounters to interstellar emergencies, Space Sucks! by Christina Engela manages to pique the readers imagination with concise prose and descriptive language. The dialogue may be a bit awkward at some points, especially in the first story, but it does not sufficiently detract from the readers enjoyment of these stories. The stories themselves just get better as they go, with A Really Bad Day In The Life Of Lance Corporal Thomas OBlivion, I. Mac, and Beyond all being exceptional reads. Beyond in particular stands out as the epitome of what science fiction has always aimed to be: a literary mirror that highlights human circumstances in fictional situations and puts current themes and norms into perspective. A Really Bad Day In The Life of Lance Corporal Thomas OBlivion also deserves mention as being a concise but highly action-packed and enjoyable read. Space Sucks! is a little collection that packs a big punch, enough to leave readers in an imaginative stupor after reading each of the stories it contains. 4 stars.” – Eduardo Aduna for Readers Favorite, May 09, 2020.
