      2021 MARKS THE 70th ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS, THE MOST FAMOUS CATASTROPHE NOVEL OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

      ''When a day that you happen to know is Wednesday starts off by sounding like Sunday, there is something seriously wrong somewhere.''

      When a freak cosmic event renders most of the Earth''s population blind, Bill Masen - one of the lucky few to keep his sight - finds himself trapped in a London jammed with sightless mobs who prey on those who can still see. But another menace stalks blind and sighted alike. With nobody to stop them the Triffids - walking carnivorous plants with lethal stingers - rise up as humanity stumbles and falls . . .

      With its startling imagery of desolate streets and lurching, The Day of the Triffid''s lethal plant life retains its power to haunt today.
