  • 'As they watched, the crack in the egg widened; an ugly, round, scarlet head with tiny, beady eyes and a tiny slit of a mouth poked out. The head twisted on its short neck, and the eyes glittered up at them with a hard ferocity.'

    The field of classic science fiction is populated with bizarre and fearsome creatures, be they lifeforms from other worlds, corrupted beasts from our own planet or entities from unimaginable dimensions.

    Collected within is a diverse host of these otherworldly beings, from savage prehistoric revenants to nightmare predators encountered in the dark of space; from alien visitors on trial under US law to unfamiliar species under the knife in an intergalactic hospital; and from warlike Martians to the peaceful creatures for how Man might be the monstrous invader...


    Mike Ashley is the author and editor of more than one hundred books, and is one of the foremost historians of popular fictio. His British Library Science Fiction Classics anthologies include Moonrise: The Golden Age of the Lunar Adventures and Menace of the Machine: The Rise of AI in Classics Science Fiction.
