- Synopsis
- 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.
