About Author

Daniel Cohen

Daniel Edward Cohen (born in Chicago, Illinois) is an American non-fiction writer who has produced over one-hundred books, mainly for young audiences. After graduating in journalism from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in 1958, he worked as a proofreader at Time Inc. before becoming an editor for Science Digest. In 1969 he moved to upstate New York with his wife, Susan Handler Cohen, to begin a career as a freelance children’s writer. Cohen is well known for his books about UFOs, ghosts, psychic phenomena, cryptozoology, and the occult. Though Cohen is a self-described skeptic and onetime member of CSICOP, his books on paranormal phenomena take a more light-hearted, open-minded stance. Cohen has written on numerous other topics, including sports, history, dinosaurs, nature, technology, and folklore. - wikipedia

The Body Snatchers

La novela en la que se basó la película Invasión de Oliver Hirschbiegel, con Nicole Kidman y Daniel Craig. Santa Mira, un pequeño pueblo del norte de California. El doctor Miles Bennell recibe en su consulta a varios pacientes con una dolencia que no puede tratar: todos ellos insisten en que un familiar cercano -su tío, padre, hija, marido…- no es en realidad quien parece ser. Intrigado y desconcertado, Miles recorre el pueblo en compañía de Becky, su viejo amor de juventud, y de sus amigos Jack y Theodora Belicec, comprobando que una serie de peculiares fenómenos tienen lugar en los sótanos y armarios de las casas, mientras los vecinos duermen… El psiquiatra Mannie Kaufman, al que Miles acude en busca de ayuda, le asegura que no se trata más que de un caso de histeria colectiva, pero poco a poco la verdad se impondrá con irresistible contundencia. Los ladrones de cuerpos ha inspirado cuatro producciones cinematográficas dirigidas por Don Siegel (1956), Philip Kaufman (1978), Abel Ferrara (1994) y Oliver Hirschbiegel (2007), que junto con la potente emoción que transmite la historia original cimentaron la fama intemporal de esta clásica novela de culto. «La paranoia alcanza su grado máximo» (Stephen King). «Una historia escalofriante» (The New York Times). «Jack Finney tuvo una idea espeluznante: durante el sueño, el centinela del sentido común se adormece y permite que nuestros enemigos nos invadan y nos conquisten» (Time Magazine). «Un clásico» (San Francisco Examiner).
