The triffids are a monstrous species of stinging plant; they walk, they talk, they dominate the world.

The narrator of this novel wakes up in hospital to find that, by missing the end of the world, he has survived to witness a new world.

But the new world that awaits him is fantastic and horrific.

John Wyndham

John Wyndham Parkes Lucas Benyon Harris was born in 1903, the son of a barrister. He tried a number of careers including farming, law, commercial art and advertising, and started writing short stories, intended for sale, in 1925.

From 1930 to 1939 he wrote short stories of various kinds under different names, almost exclusively for American publications, while also writing detective novels.

During the war he was in the Civil Service and then the Army. In 1946 he went back to writing stories for publication in the USA and decided to try a modified form of science fiction, a form he called 'logical fantasy'. John Wyndham died in March 1969.

Over 50 years on, John Wyndham’s The Day of the Triffids has not lost the ability to scare and inspire. Often quoted as inspiration for HG Well’s war of the worlds, this is a must read for all sci fi fans.
Set it post ww2 England, you can really feel the undertone of Soviet Union fear permeating the setting of the story, yet at its core, The Day of the Triffids is a story about human experiences in drastic circumstances.
A short read and definitely enjoyable.
