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.'
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
