One of George RR Martin's earlier works is a sci-fi horror short story called Sandkings. It's a very cool read and worth checking out. It was the basis for the Simpsons halloween episode "The Genesis Tub" where Lisa had a civilization in a dish and Bart goes to war with them. There are some pdf, epub, and html versions online.
Shitty Outer Limits episode loosely based on the story:

No, I'm the Ice King. Sandkings are the guys who got all up in your vagina.
Re: Sandkings
I remember that Outer Limits episode fondly... Guess I better search for it. Thanks for the reminder/prod.

Re: Sandkings
wow, I read that story a few years ago and loved it. It was in a collection of sci fi shorts, and I didn't pay attention to the author's name (and I didn't even know who Martin was back then).

Re: Sandkings
If you liked the episode, you'll love the original story even more. I can see why they had to change the story so much for cable tv and budget reasons back in '95 though.Whiskey 7 wrote:I remember that Outer Limits episode fondly... Guess I better search for it. Thanks for the reminder/prod.

Re: Sandkings
Will do bitWISE & big thanks feedback 
This whet my appetite and found the Outer Limits episode so easily
but yet to view. Lloyd Bridges & son look so young.
