Wyndham, John, 1903-19691954
Books, Manuscripts
The Triffids are a monstrous species of stinging plant; they walk, they talk, they dominate the world. The narrator of this superbly terrifying novel wakes up in hospital to find that, by missing the end of the world as he knew it, he has survived to witness a new world. But the new world that awaits him is fantastic, horrific... and thoroughly plausible.
