About this listen

Of Withered Apples was first published in Cosmos Science Fiction and Fantasy (July 1954).

An apple tree mentally controls a woman in order to live...

The story is simple enough on the surface (and perhaps a little too gimmicky in its ending), but what sticks with the reader is the woman's profound frustration, the comic dull stupidity of her husband and father-in-law, and the way nature itself calls, through her many manifestations, to the unquellable sensuality in all of us.
