I just happened to read Slaughterhouse Five for the first time. I was struck
how the way the Tralfamadorians (the "aliens" who "abduct" Billy Pilgrim)
experience time is similar to the Dread. Obviously the two species (?) are
otherwise completely different, although the Tralfamadorians do manage to
destroy the universe in the future! I was wondering if anyone else noticed the
similarity with respect to time. I was also wondering, Ray, whether you were
influenced by Slaughterhouse Five in that narrow respect or if it's just a
coincidence.
All the best.
