Although not his debut novel, this was the first work that Wyndham published without a pseudonym. Bill Masen, bandages over his eyes, wakes up after a bizarre meteorite shower has passed overhead. Removing the bandages he finds that everyone wandering the streets is now blind. And then Triffids, plants taller than humans, begin attacking. Definitely sounds like the premise of a campy film. Oddly enough, it actually works surprisingly well. (cont)
