Summary: "The Invaders" by Benjamin Ferris is a science fiction short story written in the early 1950s. The book explores themes of mystery and the unknown within the context of a small American community grappling with inexplicable occurrences. It examines the interactions between local residents and an enigmatic group of new inhabitants who have seemingly resurrected a long-dead valley, prompting fears and suspicions among the townsfolk. The narrative centers around a character named Jerry Bronson, who becomes increasingly concerned about Joe Merklos and his family, who have moved into Dark Valley, a place thought to be desolate due to a dried-up water supply. As the Merklos family works diligently to cultivate the land and revive it, strange events begin to unfold in the surrounding community: disappearing items, crops growing backward, and sightings of a mysterious beast. Tensions rise as Jerry and the local sheriff investigate the new residents and their connection to the supernatural phenomena, eventually leading to a climactic confrontation. The story combines elements of horror and speculative fiction, raising questions about identity, community, and the nature of reality itself. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
