But another menace stalks blind and sighted alike. With nobody to stop them the Triffids - walking carnivorous plants with lethal stingers - rise up as humanity stumbles and falls . . .With its startling imagery of desolate streets and lurching, The Day of the Triffid's lethal plant life retains its power to haunt today.'One of those books that haunts you for the rest of your life' Sunday Times'Has captivated readers for over half a century' Guardian

    Urmodellen för det som senare skulle bli den moderna zombie-apokalypshistorien. Triffiderna och de blinda för tankarna för det som Romero och Kirkman skulle göra till de vandrande döda som är ute efter de sista överlevande i det apokalyptiska landskapet.
