The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney – A Review
Another interesting read from the S.F. Masterworks series by Gollancz, this book was first released in 1955, and as such anyone picking it up should expect a novel which contains social stereotypes from that period, which it does, but has the book dated badly? Is it now just too out of touch with modern sensibilities to be enjoyable? The answer to both of these questions for me, is ‘No’. But let’s get into the details, which will contain some mild spoilers. Read more…

Antique airship appears over New York City.
During the unexpected thunderstorm which blanketed the city last night a huge airship of obviously antique and arcane design appeared over 7th Avenue.

Ancient Sorceries . . .
Well the days have definitely drawn in now, and as the wind blusters and blows it’s way around the house’s eves, acting for all the world like some sulky creature that likes nothing better than knock a few things over, I find myself increasingly drawn toward my fireside and a bit of toe toasting flame.
