an eclectic mix of early SF short stories; very entertaining
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
'They Came from Outer Space...' is a delightful collection of early science fiction stories that were adapted into films, mostly cheesy 1950s 'B' films. While many of the stories are not terribly well-written I found them all to be imaginative, often with surprise endings. As a bonus the book comes with a preface before each story comparing it with its film counterpart, comments about the author and the production of the film. I also enjoyed the pictures of these films scattered through the book. Bottom line: a recommended read for everyone.
