The Incredible Melting Man
(NEL, London, 1978)
The blurb on the back: He is a human time bomb. He must be stopped before he kills us all!
Those of you who remember the film might be puzzled by the idea of a novelization: after all, there wasn’t anything to the movie except Rick Baker’s special effects, was there? No, there wasn’t. The story is so simple as to be absurd: an astronaut returns to Earth, his flesh starts falling off him, and he starts killing people. That’s it. The cover rightly illustrates the disintegration visited upon actor Alex Rebar, but it’s not enough to keep you going through the text. Adapted from the screenplay by William Sachs.
