    About this audiobook

    Robert Bloch (1917 – 1994) was a prolific writer in many genres. As a young man he was encouraged by his mentor H. P. Lovecraft, and was a close friend of Stanley G. Weinbaum. Besides hundreds of short stories and novels he wrote a number of television and film scripts including several for the original Star Trek. In 1959 Bloch wrote the novel Psycho which Alfred Hitchcock adapted to film a year later. He received the Hugo Award, the World Fantasy Award, the Bram Stoker Award, and he is a past president of the Mystery Writers of America. Published in Amazing Stories in 1958, This Crowded Earth is a thriller set on an overpopulated Earth of the future. (Summary by Gregg Margarite)

      Well written. Hard to put down. Unique ideas. Surprisingly enjoyable. Unexpected twists. I haven’t read another book like it, and I read LOTs.
    • 4/5
      First off, good quality reading. As to the story: it’s a very funny take on Utopianism. This book takes very literally the saying “hell is other people”. Sometimes, I too identify as an antisocial grouch. This story comes across as if it is a story about a dystopian future, when in fact it is more personal and situated in the present. Seems like it’s going to be some 70s hippy sci-fi, but ends up being more self-aware than that. Surprisingly good.
    • 4/5
      One of the old ones that held up well! Satisfying.
    • 5/5
      SyFi from my days as a young reader most enjoyable.
