Jizzle by John Wyndham

Take a dip into a world where reality trembles and sanity is all in the mind — a world created by the brilliant author of The Day of the Triffids and The Kraken Wakes.

There’s a monkey with a unique artistic talent. A man living his life over again. A tube in the rush hour that was so crowded it seemed like hell; in fact it was hell...

Jizzle will grip you from cover to cover with its unique blend of horror and fantasy — a combination which can never fail.

There were some stories I really liked, some I sort of liked, and some I didn’t care for in this collection of short stories. But, I have to admit that, even the stories that I wasn’t so crazy about, I have to admire Wyndham’s imagination. Several of the stories had endings that I didn’t see coming, and were a refreshing change. Especially since they were written so long ago, and the basis of some of the stories have been used innumerable times.

I thought Technical Slip to be the most inventive, though my favorites were How Do I Do?, More Spinned Against, and Perforce to Dream.

I’ve seen the movies based on some of Wyndham’s novels, but have never read them. That’s something I plan on rectifying.

And much thanks to 0ftgx for recommending the book.
