Murray Leinster’s Burl stories began with Mad Planet in 1920, depicting a future Earth where fungi and insects have grown to monstrous proportions. The human protagonist, Burl, must use his wits to survive in a world where he is no longer at the top of the food chain.

Nightmare Planet (2013) is a later edition of the Burl stories. The original Mad Planet was one of the earliest works in Leinster’s long science fiction career and remains one of his most distinctive creations.
