A collection of 98 enthralling and pulse-quickening stories, spanning five decades, venerates the remarkable imagination of J. G. Ballard. With a body of work unparalleled in 20th-century literature, J. G. Ballard is recognized as one of the greatest and most prophetic writers in the world.

With the much-hailed release of The Complete Stories of J. G. Ballard, listeners now have a means to celebrate the unmatched range and mesmerizing cadences of a literary genius. Whether writing about musical orchids, human cannibalism, or the secret history of World War III, Ballard's Complete Stories evokes the hallucinations of Kafka and Borges in its ability to render modern paranoia and fantastical creations on the page.

good performance, and I highly recommend JG Ballard novels such as cocaine night, crash, high-rise, the drowned world, etc.
not so much his chart stories. There's a few good ones but nothing that stands out to me that's great

love JGB novel's but his short stories are...bla

This one actor, Jeff Harding, ruins the stories that he's read in this incredible collection. it's like listening to a badly trained news reporter rambling off the sentences with no concern for the story or for the gravity of Ballard's writing. In stark contrast, the rest of the performances are excellent. What a shame to have to skip over every story that Harding has flattened out.

Incredible collection but flawed by voice actors

Like all collections of stories, there is a wide variety in terms of quality here. Few, if any, fiction authors have ever been able to hit with every swing. That said, this collection is overwhelmingly good. Sure, some of the science is outdated, and some of the cultural context no longer rings true, but despite stories dating back a few to several decades, much of this still works well, and often provokes serious introspection. Ballard's cynicism will turn off a lot of readers, and as another reviewer pointed out, quite a few of these feel a bit like Twilight Zone episodes, but if you like sci fi shorts and don't mind, maybe even enjoy, a bleak fictional worldview, this collection will probably entertain you. 4 stars, which is high praise from me for a short story collection. Not all good, but intermittently brilliant, and, my favorite part, weird throughout.

Great Collection

Ballard had a chilling imagination and a brilliant prose style. He was the literary Twilight Zone, immortalizer of emptiness already long dead, but closer than we think. There are masterpieces here, and even when Ballard is full, he's the top of the heap. "Manhole 69" will forever change the way you look at sleep. Great narrators - including a Colonial Marine from ALIENS!

My Favorite Audiobook. A Lonely Lifework

Ran across this book on an Audible sale. Who is this guy? The stories were great - I've only gotten through 20 so far but I'm really impressed. The stories are all very original, not derivative and each one very different - no formula in the style. Great imagination. Like another reviewer I listen to a couple stories between other books - not to avoid burnout but make this 60 hour gem stretch for as long as I can. I'll probably try some of his novels also.

Why haven't I heard of this guy before?
