First publFilmed under the title "Invasion of the body snatchers."
Reprint. Previously published as The body snatchers: New York: Dell, 1955; as Invasion of the body snatchers, and slightly revised, Simon & Schuster, 1978.--First appeared in a shorter version in serial form in Colliers magazine, 1955.
On a quiet fall evening in the small, peaceful town of Mill Valley, California, Dr. Miles Bennell discovered an insidious, horrifying plot. Silently, subtly, almost imperceptibly, alien life-forms were taking over the bodies and minds of his neighbors, his friends, his family, the woman he loved -- the world as he knew it. First published in 1955, this classic thriller of the ultimate alien invasion and the triumph of the human spirit over an invisible enemy inspired three major motion pictures.
