Oh, any #JohnWyndham is great!

You can't go wrong with rampaging murder orchids or spooky psychic kids! 😄

Sky's #MidwichCuckoos is really good. Hopefully it will inspire some more adaptations of #JohnWyndham novels!

Now #reading: #JohnWyndham’s Stowaway to Mars (1935), a remarkable precursor to #TheExpanse. No spoilers—but it’s a page-turner featuring a tower-shaped craft, mag boots, crash couches, an Epstein-esque inventor, diverse viewpoints, an imaginative mix of hard science (orbital mechanics) and fanciful extrapolation (um, Mars), and even more Expanse tropes as the story builds.

[1981] The Day of the Triffids - BBC adaptation of the novel by John Wyndham. When a comet blinds nearly everyone in the world, a genetically-engineered species of plant takes over. Starring John Duttine. Full series.

These #fungi are < 1mm yet there's a whole world in there. I was tidying and this twig was going to be dumped, until I saw the white dots and had a closer look. These things may contain the next antibiotic, who knows? The moral is to care about everything. Oh, and read "Meteor" by #JohnWyndham http://sittingbee.com/meteor-john-wyndham/

Today we’ve got a look at Cuckoos, featuring the new cover by Anders Nilsen and introduction by acclaimed author Kelly Link, plus an excerpt from the original book. Beware the children!"
