About this listen

 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, and 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.

Tabori's narration of Finney's Sci-Fi classic is so freshly told, I had a 6 hr 39 min bed-in, stopping only for lunch; until I had heard the totally unexpected ending. (Loved this ending!)

Finney's vivid description of Mill Valley stirred childhood memories of being an outdoors kid, existing with the changing seasons of nature. It made me remember what I had lost when I succumbed to the easy temptations of indoor life and the Internet.

Listen to Finney's classic and remember what life was like before you were Body Snatched. Then go for a long walk, eat some fruit and plan your escape. Good luck!
