Omschrijving
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.
