The Complete Short Stories: The 1960s (Part 1) (The Brian Aldiss Collection) by Brian Aldiss

Following on from the 1950s collection, this is the second collection of Brian Aldiss' short stories, taken from the 1960s. A must-have for collectors. Part one of four.

This collection gathers together, for the very first time, Brian Aldiss' complete catalogue of short stories from the 1960s, in four parts.

Taken from diverse and often rare sources, the works in this collection chart the blossoming career of one of Britain's most beloved authors. From stories of high-tech hive minds hunting wild robots, to the story of Mr Meacher, who is given an injection which helps him gain a dimension, this book proves once again that Aldiss' gifted prose and unparalleled imagination never fail to challenge and delight.
The four books of the 1960s short story collection are must-have volumes for all Aldiss fans, and an excellent introduction to the work of a true master.

'Frightening, gripping... not one for the squeamish' Illustrated London News

'The best of British science fiction writers' Scotsman
