The things I read in November are mostly as expected: scifi and mystery from 1890s to early 1960s. Good old #ACD is there, as are #JohnWyndham & #BenBova. The surprise was Seven Uni-verses, cool #space poetry by Jatan Mehta @moonmehta.bsky.social.
#TheBeetle by #RichardMarsh was brilliant!

“After school tried farming and learned something about sheep. Started to
read law, and learned a little more about sheep. Gave that up for advertising, and learned a great deal about sheep.” —John Wyndham

Did anybody ever figure out the connection between the blinding cosmic lightshow and the opportunistic carnivorous plants? I think some #JohnWyndham and SF scholars (including YouTuber the #OutlawBookseller), after a close reading of the novel, have speculated about a satellite.

Wall plaque honouring author John Wyndham’s Day of the Triffids known as Triffid Alley in London’s South End Green area, used as an escape route in the novel.
Neon pink sign of the BFI logo attached to the side of the BFI Southbank building.
Rare books in a window display at Jarndyce Bookshop, including ICE by Anna Kavan, which would drain £1000 out of your bank account should you wish to purchase this hardcover edition with dust jacket.
Chris Golden & Brian Keene’s the official UK launch of THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT: NEW TALES OF STEPHEN KING’S THE STAND at the Forbidden Planet London Megastore with Tim Lebbon and V Castro discussed their stories/contributions and ed sign copies of the book! The exclusive in-conversation event was chaired by Stephen King Mega Fan - Sarah Maria Griffin.
Our day out in London was very tiring, but worth the effort. I only managed to snap a few pictures due to my phone being possessed.

📚 À la manière d’un Ray Bradbury, l’auteur ne fanfaronne pas. Il ne se perd pas dans des informations superflues. Mais il aborde son sujet avec un sens de l’humour bien particulier qui le pousse même dans un monologue satirique sur le caractère parasitaire du coucou.

Coffee Break Classics: The Midwich Cuckoos
One of my favourites from Mr Wyndham—a quiet tale of dread in picture-perfect suburbia.
I first saw Village of the Damned aged 12, watching through my fingers.

Finished Chocky (John Wyndham) a while ago.
Wasn't a bad read, it's left me thinking a little bit.

Got this book today unexpectedly walking around the neighborhood.
I don't usually read men, but it was quite a coincidence finding it after hearing so much about it from a bookstagramer I trust, and it sounds interesting so...

I finally read The Midwich Cuckoos by #JohnWyndham. A really good book, a page turner, but not much horror in it. It's a SF drama of sorts. Not a problem though, I enjoyed it from start to finish.
Now I need to finally watch those first films inspired by it.
8/10.

My current read. Love John Wyndham, but have not read this collection of short stories before. Vintage paperbacks are my jam.

#JustRead The Midwich Cuckoos, the good old #JohnWyndham classic. A really good SF novel, although not really horror, despite what one might expect. But it is nice to finally know that famous story. I mean, it's only 70 years old.
8/10.
Now I just need to watch all those movies!
