Badseedgirl's Reviews> The Screwfly Solution

In the 60's, the tv series "The Twilight Zone" introduced sci-fi readers to wonderful authors by basing several of the episodes on short stories. What "Twilight Zone" did in the 60's, "The Showtime anthology series" The Masters of Horror "did for me in the 2000's.The Screwfly Solutionwas on of these finds (Season 2, episode 7).

An eerie and, and frankly terrifying story about the destruction of humanity,The Screwfly Solutionis written in a series of letters to and from a husband and wife. It is horrific to watch humanity crumble in this manner. Every time I read one of these excellent short stories I wonder why I don't read more of them.
