The Day of the Triffids, John Wyndham (1951). Conceptual cover designs for the British sci-fi classic: Missing the most spectacular meteorite shower England has ever seen, Bill Masen removes bandages from his already wounded eyes and finds masses of sightless people wandering the city. To survive he must survive the Triffids, strange plants that years earlier began appearing all over the world. Growing to over seven feet tall, they uproot themselves to walk, and can kill with one quick lash of their poisonous stingers.
