Charles Beaumont
Back when smoking was cool . . . |
I recently, and quite on accident, discovered a really great speculative short story I think people will enjoy. I don't want to give too many spoilers, but in the short story you will find yourself transported to dystopian world where a few survivors are planning what to do next. Sound like a familiar theme? The writer, Charles Beaumont (how I love my Beaumont's--see
Francis Beaumont, dramatist) is a well-known 50's and 60's writer of speculative (read scifi, fantasy, horror, etc.) writing. Many of his works appeared as "Twilight Zone" and "Alfred Hitchcok Presents" episodes. Here is a link to
"Place of Meeting" by Beaumont (a pdf scan). I'd love to hear when you "figured out" the mystery.
