  • Parallel Worlds Issue 5

    In this issue, we're all about aliens: we look back at Ridley Scott's seminal 1979 film, scare ourselves silly in Alien: Isolation, and wonder just how common alien life is in our galaxy. We also interview horror writer Priya Sharma, continue our guides for gamesmasters, uncover a Chinese fantasy author you'll never have heard of, review books and board games, chat to one of the UK's thriving independent presses, muck around in Space Engineers, and assess Todd Phillips' Joker.
