Wow, some of the stories in this collection truly freaked me out! It's not the blood or violence but the psychological twists. And truly, I do believe these stories are ahead of their times! Being published in 1951 but yet still applicable today, from the obsession & addiction to technology to how we treat others of different skin colours. I was just blown away by how perceptive & forward-looking this author was. I sincerely hope that the futures written in this collection do not come true.
