The Empire of the Ants is a 1905 short story by H. G. Wells. It follows Captain Gerilleau, a Creole naval officer, who is dispatched to the Amazon basin in South America to investigate reports of a plague of unusually intelligent and aggressive ants destroying a colony. Accompanying him is Holroyd, a Lancashire engineer, who initially views the mission as absurd, questioning what one can do against ants. As the crew travels up the river, they encounter increasing evidence of the ants' intelligence and organized behavior, including reports of a man being killed by a swarm after returning to his home, which the ants had seemingly vacated. It inspired the 1977 science fiction horror film of the same name.

Eight O'Clock in the Morning is a science fiction short story written by American author Ray Faraday Nelson, first published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. The story follows George Nada, a man who, after attending a hypnotist's show, "awakes all the way" while others remain in a trance. He becomes the sole human to perceive the true nature of reality, seeing reptilian aliens referred to as the "Fascinators" or "Reptilians" which are —hidden beneath human skin. These aliens secretly control society by broadcasting subliminal messages through signs and television, which only George can now see and resist. George realizes that he is the only one aware of the deception. The story served as the basis for John Carpenter's 1988 science fiction action film They Live, which starred Roddy Piper in the lead role.

The Lord of the Dead, is set in the 1930s and follows Steve Harrison, a hard-boiled detective who becomes entangled in a criminal conspiracy involving Erlik Khan, the primary antagonist and self-proclaimed "Lord of the Dead". Erlik Khan seeks to unite secret societies of the East under his rule using ancient magic and manipulation. The narrative incorporates elements of supernatural intrigue, reincarnation, and ancient vendettas, with Harrison being pursued by Amir Amin Izzedin, who believes Harrison is the reincarnation of a man who wronged him in a past life. The story also involves Joan La Tour, Ali ibn Suleyman (a Druse warrior caught in a cycle of reincarnation), and other figures drawn into the conflict.

An alternate history where vampires have taken over, in Europe at least, and are the aristocracy. The emergence of science and technology, in the guise of a microscope, has given these vampires a reason to fear the humans they have come to dominate. Like any form of tyranny there will be those who accept it, and there will also be those who rebel.
