Lem's evocation of the eerie, the odd, and the mysterious highlights this novel of an English police inspector investigating a strange case of corpses seemingly coming back to life. The mystery itself is less important here than the theories advanced to explain it, which together create a world in which perception becomes its own reality. The terrific ending includes a particularly creepy scene set in the English countryside. At night. In deep fog.
