I finished this short story in the early part of this month. It was really good, though I think I would have enjoyed it more had I encountered it before 2016. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...


This month's short story group read selection is another audio story narrated in The Lost Si-Fi Podcast. In fact, it's the first (or earliest) one of the podcast. Check it out; the reader really does this one justice. The story itself is vintage, paranoid Dick, a version of Invasion of the Body-Snatchers. Set in the 1950s this story is so dated it has become modern, if one equates the aliens to MAGAs.
