American Literature, Novels, Science-Fiction & Fantasy

Black Eyes and the Daily Grind is a science fiction short story by Stephen Marlowe, written in the early 1950s. The plot follows Judd and Lindy Whitney, who bring a peculiar creature from Venus, named Black Eyes, back to Earth. This creature emits waves that induce lethargy, leading to a city-wide phenomenon of apathy and inertia in New York. The story examines the impact of extraneous stimuli on society and the difficult choices the Whitneys must make regarding their newfound pet.
