"The Eyes Have It" is a humorous, early short story by Philip K. Dick that first appeared in Science Fiction Stories in 1953. In it, a bus-riding reader of a discarded melodrama with an overactive imagination is persuaded by the hackneyed prose that the world has been taken over by aliens. Thus, when "eyes slowly roved around the room", the reader imagines disembodied eyeballs traveling of their own free will. A rare example of satire from the Dick canon.

Rooting about in the loft of a house that you have lived in for ages can be a dangerous activity. Especially if there are no loft boards! In it, I discovered what I believe to be the only surviving printed copy of Clerb, a short book I wrote some 27 years ago now. Influenced by two huge gods of "funtastical" literature - Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett - Clerb is a humorous alien time travel adventure story... involving yoghurt!
