4 1/2 stars for Immunity to Strange Tales
Available from Amazon |
Immunity to Strange Tales is a collection of twelve short stories, most of which could be considered Sci-Fi, most of which I enjoyed greatly.
Outstanding were the stories Back (about a Time Machine), The Right Chemistry (about Atoms), Tomorrow and Tomorrow (about what one is willing to do to ensure there is a tomorrow), Killing the Cat (about mind control) and Orange (about the end of the world). These stories were thought-provoking and after finishing these I had to pause and reflect about the message / morale contained within.
The other stories were also intriguing and thought provoking, but not as memorable as the ones mentioned above.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this collection to anyone who enjoys sci-fi and short stories.
I received this book as part of the LibraryThing Early Reviewers Program. ( )
