Reading for Enjoyment – 2

Seeking to free myself from following politics on the Internet, I picked up an old, paperback collection of science fiction short stories. John W. Campbell wrote “Who Goes There?”, the short novel that was adapted into The Thing From Another World.

Campbell wrote a fantastic forward-thinking short story, called “Twilight,” in 1934. Predating WWII, mankind’s end doesn’t come from atomic war. Instead, it has a Rachel Carson ending. Reading “Twilight” this morning reminded me of how much I enjoyed reading science fiction as a kid into my young adult years.
