First published in sci-fi magazines of the 1950s, these early stories from Philip K. Dick showcase the budding author's uncanny ability to forge strange new paths into alternate realities. Already in command of the themes and techniques he would later employ in his novels, Dick here envisions alien infiltrations, far-off worlds at war, nightmarish totalitarian societies, and uncanny depths lying just beneath seemingly commonplace realities. Fantastical, sinister, paranoid, and darkly amusing, these are seminal works in Dick's justly celebrated career.
Previously published as The Eyes Have It, The Hanging Stranger, Beyond Lies the Wub, The Defenders, Mr. Spaceship, The Skull, Beyond the Door, The Crystal Crypt, The Gun, Tony and the Beetles, this edition of The Eyes Have It and Other Stories (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
