Frightening and entirely plausible. Real people shaken out of the civilization
they knew into a world dominated by triffids.

This book is fantastic and frightening but entirely plausible (/readings/call-
of-cthulhu/). It doesn't seem scientifically possible, but its characters are
living people shaken out of the civilization (/readings/lord-of-the-flies/) they
know into the horror of a world dominated by "triffids".

The triffids are grotesque and dangerous plants, over seven feet tall,
originally cultivated for their yield of high-grade oil. So long as conditions
give mastery to their human directors, they are a valuable asset to mankind. But
when a sudden universal disaster turns those conditions upside down, the
triffids, seizing their opportunity, become an active and dreadful menace.
