Here is one of my 19 houseplants. This one grows like a vine and extends around half of my dining room. It was given to me from a former neighbor.

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)

vivastory I will say that I have read 3 Wyndham books & this is my least favorite of the three. I would still recommend it though.

Vansa While I can see how deeply influential a realist disaster book of this sort can be, Wyndham is quite misogynistic, and clearly quite libertarian 1y
Eggs Fascinating 🪴 1y

Andrew65 A classic. 1y
BookwormM I loved this one 🤣 1y
TheEllieMo My first introduction to this book was the 1981 BBC TV adaption; I think the story heavily influence the film 28 Days Later. 1y
Bookwomble First time I read this I lived near London and took a little Triffid Tour of some of the locations 🪴🤓 1y
vivastory @TheEllieMo I was unaware of the BBC adaptation. I agree with you about 28 Days Later. I also see some influence on The Walking Dead, esp the opening. 1y
vivastory @Bookwomble That sounds really fascinating! 1y
Bookwomble @vivastory Well, half of the London section is in Bloomsbury, which was on the way to my then favourite bookshop - Dillon's, now a branch of Waterstones - and the British Museum - where I'd hang out with the other antiquities - so I didn't put in much effort 😁 1y
vivastory @Bookwomble I wish there were literary tours like that here. There is some interesting literary history here (including one of the most famous living fantasy authors was born close to where I live) & there is hardly anything to commemorate any of it 1y
