"Day of the Triffids" is one of the scariest books I've read. Oddly plausible and well-realized, it's easily as good as other Cold War apocalyptic disaster fiction (i.e., Shute's "On the Beach," Ballard's "The Wind From Nowhere"). "28 Days Later" totally ripped off Wyndham's opening. I wonder if I'm the only one who's noticed. Maybe it was a deliberate homage.
Budd Hopkins has an new book out, "Sight Unseen," co-written with a woman I've never heard of. I disagree heartily with Hopkins' assessment of the "alien abduction" phenomenon, but I'm still curious to see what he has to say.
