Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Beyond The Door is a brief tale about a cuckoo clock. So brief that I can't say much without spoiling this quaint story. We could say the story is a metaphor for being a nice person; or that unjust and abusive behaviour may be punished by preternatural forces; or that you get what you deserve. At its core, this short work is a flight of fancy, open to interpretation, and therein lies its power. no reviews | add a review

HTML: Philip K. Dick stories always bring a touch of the unexpected to the age-old sci-fi formula. In Beyond the Door, Dick spins the tale of a thoughtful gift that holds unspeakable secrets. Though protagonist Larry Thomas had only the best intentions when he picked out the tchotchke for his wife, it's a decision he'll always regret. .No library descriptions found. |

"Never satisfied. They're all that way. Never get enough." Really Larry? What a a**hole thing to say.
"A man shouldn't be interested in antiques; that's for women." This is why your wife cheats.
I didn't care for Larry, so his death wasn't sad. I find it ironic that a manly man was bested by an antique.
