"I warn you that what you're starting to read is full of loose ends and unanswered
questions...."from the book

On a quiet fall evening in the small, peaceful town of Mill Valley, California, Dr. Miles Bennell
discovers an insidious, horrifying plot. Silently, subtly, almost imperceptibly, alien life-forms are
taking over the bodies and minds of his neighbors, his friends, his family, the woman he loves
the world as he knows it.

This classic 1955 thriller of the triumph of the human spirit over an invisible enemy inspired the
acclaimed 1956 film, directed by Don Siegel and named one of Time magazine's 100 Best Films.
Blackstone's edition is read by Don Siegel's son, actor-director Kristoffer Tabori, an Emmy and
Audie Award winner, and concludes with the narrator's insider reminiscences of his father's
work on the film.
