A mysterious silver object appears in quiet, picture-perfect Midwich. A day later, the object is gone--and all the women in the village, they will come to learn, are now pregnant. The resultant children of Midwich are shockingly, frighteningly other. Given these unfathomable and potentially unstoppable offspring, the question dren, the arises: Can Midwich and its youngest inhabitants coexist in peace? The Midwich Cuckoos is a genre-defining tale of first contact by one of the twentieth century's most brilliant--and neglected--science fiction and horror wirters."-- $c Back cover. 650 0 $a Villages $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Children $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Human-alien encounters $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Link, Kelly, $e writer of introduction. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231103011608.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4C5C2344328C11EEBDD4A74441ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
