The Invasion of the Body Snatchers

On a quiet fall evening in the small, peaceful town of Mill Valley, California, Dr. Miles Bennell discovers an insidious, horrifying plot. Silently, subtly, almost imperceptibly, alien life-forms are taking over the bodies and minds of his neighbors, his friends, his family, the woman he loves -- the world as he knows it. This classic 1955 thriller of the triumph of the human spirit over an invisible enemy inspired the acclaimed 1956 film, directed by Don Siegel and named one of Time magazine's 100 Best Films. Blackstone's edition is read by Don Siegel's son, actor-director Kristoffer Tabori, an Emmy(r) and Audie(r) Award winner, and concludes with the narrator's insider reminiscences of his father's work on the film. Jack Finney was the author of the much loved and critically acclaimed novel Time and Again. He was best known for his thrillers and science fiction, and a number of his books were made into movies. He died in 1995. Kristoffer Tabori made his screen debut when he was six years old and appeared on Broadway for the first time at age sixteen. He has garnered numerous honors for his acting and directing on stage, screen, television, and radio, including a directing Emmy. His first solo narration won the 1993 Audie Award for best audiobook of the year.
