Neil GaimanRobert Sheckley died on this day 17 years ago. He was a brilliant, witty writer, one of the finest short story writers of Science Fiction, an inspiration to Douglas Adams. His grave is near me and I clean the weeds off when I pass.
echopapa@neilhimself Sheckley's short stories are always a pleasure to read. Very funny and often with a dark humour.
The Prize of Peril adapted as "Das Millionenspiel" in 1970 for German TV is still a visionary movie:
