Ward Moore

Do remember reading a panic-mongering news story a while back about genetically engineered Frankengrass escaping from the golf course where it had been planted? That news story was foreshadowed decades previously in the form of prophetic fiction wherein a pushy salesman, a cash-strapped scientist, and a clump of crabgrass accidentally merge forces with apocalyptic consequences. A triple-genre combo of science fiction, horror, and satire, Greener Than You Think is a forgotten classic that resonates beautifully with modern times. This is a faithful reading of a 1947 first edition text.

Hodge Backmaker es un habitante de la Nueva York del siglo XX: una ciudad de calles adoquinadas e iluminadas por lámparas de gas, donde los dirigibles sobrevuelan rascacielos que apenas alcanzan diez pisos, los tranvias tirados por caballos compiten con los minimoviles, y las bandas de gangsters imponen la ley ante la incapacidad del estado.
