Alien Bundles is a chronicle of the adventures of a transplanted Transylvanian who comes to the United States.

Veres’ playful style offers a unique slant on the immigrant experience in the ‘90s, including visa entanglements, football mania, swamp tour, holiday bewilderments, fat cats, other foreigners’ absurdities, erotic dreams and funerals.

"In the contemporary world of post modern, gender focused, mini-sectarian, ego-propelled, money grubbing, hypo-hyping, super-boring, politically correct, sexually correct, religiously correct, self-promoting, shouting, screaming, minutely bordered and mega-prosaic writing, there are very few originals. Ella Veres is an original. She can occasionally write stupid things and has even been known to be insensitive for brief periods, but she is never boring, never imitative, and never predictable. She understands that writing is not like communicating with your best friend or someone who has your best interests at heart. Her gift is that she can make you aware of your own existence. On one level she is simply telling you things that seem even humdrum, the quotidian stuff of life, but as you read you realize this is not soothing lullabies; this is a punch in the nose. I recommend Ella Veres to everybody who wants to feel alive. Take a dose of her at least once a week. But be careful, she can be addicting."
