"At the end of the show the hypnotist told his subjects, 'Awake!' Something unusual happened."

In the short story that inspired the classic 1988 movie They Live, George "wakes up" to find that there is a great secret being kept from the world... and he's the only human to have found out the truth.

4 stars

This short story could have been a great novel. The concept is fun in the sense that we are all being controlled by aliens and the movie couldn't put all the details in that a book could deliver. An interesting 10 minute read.
