"Eye" (1985) is a collection of thirteen short stories written by science fiction author Frank Herbert. All of the works had been previously published in magazine or book form, except for "The Road to Dune."

Contents

Introduction

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.

"Rat Race"

"The Dragon in the Sea"

Psychological thriller originally serialized as "Under Pressure" in "Astounding" magazine from December 1955 through February 1956, then reworked and published as a book in 1956.

"Cease Fire"

"A Matter of Traces"

First appearing in "Fantastic Universe" magazine in 1958, this short story is notable for the introduction of the character Jorj X. McKie, saboteur extraordinary.

"Try to Remember"

"The Tactful Saboteur"

First appearing in "Galaxy Science Fiction" magazine in 1964 and later republished in "The Worlds of Frank Herbert" in 1971, this novelette is notable for establishing the setting for Herbert's ConSentiency universe.

"The Road to Dune"

Set in Herbert's "Dune" universe, this short work takes the form of a guidebook for pilgrims to the planet Arrakis, complete with illustrations by Welsh artist Jim Burns. The work features several sights, devices and characters presented in the novels.

"By the Book"

"Seed Stock"

"Murder Will In"

"Passage for Piano"

"Death of a City"

"Frogs and Scientists"

This is the story of a frog that considers itself to be a scientist. The frog observes a human female washing herself while a young male human watches and then tries to explain it to another frog.

Awards

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