The Midwich Cuckoos
A genre-defining tale of first contact by one of the twentieth century's most brilliant-and neglected-science fiction and horror writers, whom Stephen King called the best writer of science fiction that England has ever produced. What if the women of a sleepy English village all became mysteriously and simultaneously pregnant-and the children, once born, possessed supernatural (and possibly alien) powers? A mysterious silver object appears in the sleepy English village of Midwich, and all the inhabitants fall unconscious. A day later the object is gone and everyone wakes up unharmed-except that all the women in the village are now pregnant…

Über den Autor
John Wyndham (1903-1969) is considered a pioneer of science fiction and horror, though he preferred to think of himself as a logical fantasist. He began writing science fiction and detective stories in the 1920s, but shifted to science fiction post-WWII, focusing on themes of disaster, invasion, and first contact. His best known works include The Day of the Triffids (1951) and The Midwich Cuckoos (1957). A pacifist and socialist, Wyndham was alive to the impact of sexism, classism, and prejudice and his novels reflect his liberal politics.
