The Triffids, Kraken and Lichen books are ones I've read before and loved, but it was a joy to re-read them as always. It turns out I'd also read some of the shorts in The Seeds of Time, but by no means all of them, and they're a nice mix of different SF perspectives. The real winners in this for me this time though were The Chrysalids and The Midwich Cookoos, which somehow I'd never got round to before. Both of which I enjoyed immensely. They're very much of their time, and perhaps a little dated, but that doesn't detract from them at all. The only thing I do notice from reading them all so close together is perhaps that a few phrases and ideas get repeated perhaps a little too often through the whole volume: particularly the famous Sherlock Holmes quote. In future I'll probably only dip in to read one at a time, rather than the whole volume from cover to cover. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Bill Nighy, Sarah Parish, Barbara Shelley and Peter Sallis are among the cast in these six classic BBC Radio dramatisationsJohn Wyndham's quietly menacing post-apocalyptic tales are enduringly popular, and these gripping, atmospheric radio adaptations of his classic fiction are resonant with terror and suspense.In The Day of the Triffids (CD 1-3), first broadcast in 1968, most people have been left blind after a meteor shower, and lethal carnivorous triffids are roaming the land.The Kraken Wakes (CD 4 & 5), dramatised for radio in 1998, is a thrilling story of monsters from the deep, alien invasion and ecological disaster.The Chrysalids (CD 6 & 7), first broadcast in 1981, explores the dangers of being different, while the 1989 adaptation of short story Survival focuses on the lengths people will go to in order to survive.The Midwich Cuckoos (CD 8 & 9), broadcast in 2003, is a disturbing tale of a village sealed off from the world for a day, and subsequently taken over by terrifying, inhuman children.Dramatised for radio in 1998, Chocky (CD 10 & 11) is a chilling tale of a boy who appears to be communicating with an invisible friend.Also included is Beware the Stare!
