When a young boy tells Don that he's seen a ghost, Don only laughs. There's no such thing as ghosts -- and the little boy probably saw a reflection. But to prove the little boy wrong, Don and his friend go to the hill where the boy says that the ghost floated towards him and through a rock. Don, however, brings his shotgun just in case -- after all, it could've been a wild animal of some kind. And when they discover that it wasn't a ghost at all, but something altogether different, they must defend themselves from the onslaught of these White Invaders -- or face annihilation of everyone they've ever known!
Ray Cummings worked as a technical writer and personal assistant to Thomas Edison. His works number close to 750 in both novel and short story format. He is considered one of the founding fathers of the science fiction pulp genre. His most famous work is The Girl in the Golden Atom.

White Invaders
This was the book that got me hooked on the so-called Radium Age of science fiction over a decade ago. Of course, sci-fi literature in this early part of the 20th century was as varied as it is today, so this novella is not representative of an entire era. But it does have all the elements, both positive and negative, that one can come to expect from sci-fi in the oughts through the early 30s, as well as the sense of paranoia and righteous condemnation of anything "other" that permeated the later Golden Era by the 40s and 50s. Because this is an American novella, not a European one, it is laced with the optimism and heroism of a nation that did not fight the "Great War" on its own soil, but which provided ample escapism and entertainment for a generation living through the "Great Depression."
If you are in the mood for a good old-fashioned alien invasion story, look no further.
