I just really, really enjoy Wyndham’s storytelling, it never lets me down! The Midwich Cuckoos is another journalistic-like report of mysterious events with a strong and imaginative plot. The focus is on a small English town, which experiences something profoundly strange when its inhabitants fall unconscious for a whole day. Afterwards, all the women find themselves suddenly pregnant. The resulting children exhibit disturbing qualities and eventually, become a threat - that is exactly my kind of weird.
