Introduction

edit

Herbert discusses David Lynch's film Dune and his own participation in the production, and lists scenes that were shot, but cut from the released version.

Reception

edit

Dave Langford reviewed Eye for White Dwarf #83, and stated that "It's a good anthology, free of the grotty potboilers which filled out earlier collections. I would have preferred another 'real' short story or two in place of the extract from The Dragon in the Sea (which deserves to be read in context): otherwise, OK."[1]

Awards

edit

Eye was nominated for a Locus Award for best short story collection in 1986, but lost to Stephen King's collection Skeleton Crew.[2]
