Books Update: Re-Working Our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Category: Spotted: Philip K Dick Part 1
*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we return to our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror category for Philip K Dick, one of our best-selling authors; many would consider him the finest exponent of science-fiction of the late 20th century. I guess his themes of religion, drugs, counter culture and destructive relationships hold wide appeal. We are blessed with an excellent stock of his works, the enhanced re-listing of which will be spread over several updates. If you can’t wait for part 2 and onwards, these are all listed in our catalogue in the old format below the items in this update. Plenty to savour in this first instalment. 5 Great Novels is just that, a massive tome with five of his classics; The Broken Bubble is a mainstream novel that we’re including due to the interest in Dick; Clans Of The Alphane Moon is about human survivors of a hospital moon and the family clans they comprise; Counter-Clock World is a story where time moves backwards; The Crack In Space postulates a novel solution to over-population; The Divine Invasion has at its centre the Second Coming; and there are two versions of probably his most famous book Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?, filmed of course as Blade Runner. More Dick soon!
