The Father-Thing: Volume Three Of The Collected Stories

Formats & Editions

THE FATHER THING contains the stories written in 1956, just before the publication of Dick s first novel, SOLAR LOTTERY. The stories are a mix of the previously uncollected and some of his most famous pieces such as Foster, You re Dead a powerful extrapolation of nuclear war hysteria, and The Golden Man , a very different story about a super-evolved mutant human.
