The Reel Stuff

by Martin H. Greenberg Narrated by Various

Overview

From alien invaders to journeys to distant worlds to Earth the day after tomorrow, science fiction stories have been the inspiration for some of the best - and the worst - movies and television shows. Sometimes the films have offered extremely accurate depictions of classic and award-winning science fiction stories, sometimes they've departed radically from the works on which they are based. Now you can judge for yourself as you listen to eight tales included in this collection.

Johnny Mnemonic by William Gibson

Amanda and the Alien by Robert Silverberg

Mimic by Donald A. Wollheim

The Forbidden by Clive Barker

We Can Remember For You Wholesale by Philip K. Dick

Nightflyers by George R. R. Martin

Air Raid by John Varley

Sandkings by George R. R. Martin

Editorial Reviews

Science Fiction Weekly

The stories in The Reel Stuff provide stark evidence that the written word is often superior to the movies it inspires...SF fans who've seen the ‘reel things' but never read these stories should get this anthology immediately and read the ‘real things.'

SF Site

These stories are among the best of the genre... Enjoyable on many levels: for the stories themselves, for reviving the images of a number of memorable films...These stories are all worth reading...for the authors are a group of outstanding writers...This is a much more interesting collection than the usual ‘Best of...' anthology.
