The day of the triffids
The day of the triffids
Book - 2022
"What if a meteor shower left most of the world blind--and humanity at the mercy of mysterious carnivorous plants? Bill Masen undergoes eye surgery and awakes the next morning in his hospital bed to find civilization collapsing. Wandering the city, he soon realizes that surviving in this new world requires evading strangers and the seven-foot-tall plants known as triffids--plants that can walk and can kill a man with one quick lash of their poisonous stingers. The inspiration for 28 Days Later and countless postapocalyptic novels, this is the influential masterpiece of one of the twentieth century's most brilliant science fiction and horror writers."--
