Review: The Slizzers by Jerome Bixby
Quick and fun!
I went through a phase of listening to retro science fiction short stories from the 1950s, and I came across this absolute gem!
‘The Slizzers’ takes only 10 minutes to read. It’s quirky, it’s fun, and it has a great twist ending. I love the charming 1950s expressions. It is just such a well rounded short story.
I showed it to a few friends and we started using ‘slizz’ as slang.
All you need to know about it is this: They’re called the slizzers, because they slizz people.
They’re all around us, living with us. You might be one.

You can read ‘The Slizzers’ for free here, and I would definitely recommend listening to it as an audiobook.
