Read three classic terror tales that became hit science fiction horror movies: "Re-animator," "The Fly" and "Target Earth." This trio of thrilling prophetic novellas are now available for the first time in e-book form. Who could ever forget having seen, "Re-Animator," "The Fly" and "Target: Earth." These three shuddersome films have provided thrills for generations of viewers. But the original magazine stories that inspired them are rarely reprinted due to length. All three are substantial short novels - too big to fit in a short story collection, too small for publication alone in book form. Now read this superlative trinity of science fiction tales with an emphasis on the horrible and the monstrous brought together for the first time. H.P. Lovecraft's "Herbert West - Reanimator" is a nightmarish parable of necromantic doings that makes Mary Shelly's Frankenstein read like a children's story. George Langelaan's tale of "matter transmission" gone wrong, "The Fly," is a much subtler tale of a woman's staunch heroism, unfolding at an almost leisurely pace among the fields and bourgeois of France, but no less gruesome or chilling when it reaches it's climatic note. The locale of Paul W. Fairman's morality play, "Deadly City," is an eerily deserted Chicago where five very ordinary men and women find themselves inexplicably alone, being stalked by alien presences. All three stories have long been recognized as masterpieces. Purchase this unique e-book collection and find out why for yourself.
