description: Winner of the AudioFile Earphones AwardOn a quiet fall evening in the small, peaceful town of Mill Valley, California, Dr. Miles Bennell discovered an insidious, horrifying plot. Silently, subtly, almost imperceptibly, alien life-forms were taking over the bodies and minds of his neighbors, his friends, his family, the woman he loved—the world as he knew it.First published in 1955, this classic thriller of the ultimate alien invasion and the triumph of the human spirit over an invisible enemy inspired the acclaimed 1956 film, directed by Don Siegel and starring Kevin McCarthy, one of Time magazine’s 100 Best Films.This Blackstone 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.(c)2007 Blackstone Audio
