Book Overview

Sixteen classic stories that are bound to get under your skin, perfect for fans of cozy horror--from the brilliant mind of John Wyndham, whom Stephen King called "the best writer of science fiction that England has ever produced." (Previously published as Jizzle, and now featuring a bonus novella)

John Wyndham was one of the twentieth century's most talented--and neglected--science fiction and horror writers. He was a master of marrying the extraordinary with the banal. His thought-provoking and eerily prescient writing took everyday situations and added a touch of the bizarre to challenge the way readers saw the world around them.

In these stories, a man on his deathbed is given the opportunity to relive his life; a Welsh couple receives a mysterious egg from their son who is traveling abroad; a woman writes a novel based on her vivid dreams and discovers she isn't the only one experiencing them; a scientist seeks to create "the perfect creature"; a London commuter train becomes more and more packed, seemingly headed straight to hell . . . and more! For the first time, this collection now includes Wyndham's classic murder mystery novella, The Curse of the Burdens, showcasing his mastery of multiple genres.

About John Wyndham

John Wyndham (1903-1969) is considered a pioneer of science fiction and horror, though he preferred to think of himself as a "logical fantasist." He began writing science fiction and detective stories in the 1920s, but shifted to science fiction post-WWII, focusing on themes of disaster, invasion, and first contact. His best known works include The Day of the Triffids (1951) and The Midwich Cuckoos (1957). A pacifist and socialist, Wyndham--unlike a lot of mid-century genre fiction authors--was alive to the impact of sexism, classism, and prejudice and his novels reflect his liberal politics.
