  • Everything looked the same. Throckmnorton Street...Lovelock's Pharmacy, the dime store...and everyone seemed the same. Aunt Aleda. Sheriff Grivett.  But the town was dying slowly and changing secretly. On a quiet fall evening in the small, peaceful town of Mill Valley, California, Dr. Miles Bennell discovered an insidious, horrifying plot. Silently, subtly, almost imperceptibly, alien life-forms were taking over the bodies and minds of his neighbors, his friends, his family, the woman he loved - the world as he knew it...   First published in 1955 and made into a blockbuster film in 1978, this is the revised and updated edition issued to coincide with the film's release. Please note: this is not a novelisation  of the film; it is Finney's original novel.
  • Science fiction, mystery, a love story and a detailed history of Old New York blend together in this story of a young man enlisted in a secret government experiment. Transported from the mid-twentieth century to New York City in the year 1882, Si Morley walks the fashionable "Ladies' Mile" of Broadway, is enchanted by the jingling sleigh bells in Central Park, and solves a 20th-century mystery by discovering its 19th-century roots. Falling in love with a beautiful young woman, he ultimately finds himself forced to choose between his lives in the present and the past.
