I just finished reading ALAS, BABYLON by Pat Frank and I must say that after more than sixty years it still holds up. The very beginning is a little slow and there is a bizarre switch in main viewpoint character early on, but the story still packs a wallop.

For some reason the premise of PLURIBUS--a genetic structure transmitted to Earth by an alien race--gave me a sense of deja vu.

BEASTLY
It came shambling out of the east
The terrible awful horrendous beast
Upon the people it began to feast
Exhibiting no mercy in the least
One man went forth the thing to slay
A lowly peasant whose name was Ray
In no time him the beast did flay
And continues its slaughter to this day
It came shambling out of the east
The terrible awful horrendous beast
Upon the people it began to feast
Exhibiting no mercy in the least
One man went forth the thing to slay
A lowly peasant whose name was Ray
In no time him the beast did flay
And continues its slaughter to this day

PICKMAN'S MOTEL
Of accommodations it's the finest
Place in Arkham to stop and rest
Though the staff's looks are unusual
Pale and gaunt like that of a ghoul
Checking in is pleasant and nice
Checking out you will do twice
Once when you die in your room
Then your corpse the staff doth consume

DRAGON POUND
I decided I wanted to take on
The care and feeding of a dragon
To the local pound I went and shopped
Picked out a young drake to adopt
Soon however my temper was seething
It turned out to be fire-breathing
To refuse its return the pound chose
Said to line my house with asbestos

INFINITAL
A new kind of drug was invented
Its dangers were well-documented
Taking it there's a chance you might
Lose yourself forever in the infinite
Your mind adrift in space endless
Alone in all the cosmic vastness
The one thing you don't want to do
Is have everything become clear to you

WHOM GOURDS DESTROY
It was Dr. Beck's experiment
Carried out without bad intent
To make pumpkins intelligent
Render them capable of movement
Too late he realized his mistake
In his shoes he did quake
The orange monsters him did take
And impaled him upon a stake

The movie STARSHIP TROOPERS has some problems, but I really like Clancy Brown's performance as the callous drill sergeant Zim. He plays it very matter-of-factly, which makes it simultaneously hilarious, horrifying, and realistic. The actor fully understood the assignment.
