Reception

edit

The 4-Dimensional Nightmare was reviewed by Leslie Flood in New Worlds Science Fiction.[7] Locus also reviewed the work, noting that "Although their formal experimentation seems mild in comparison to much later Ballard, these stories seem utterly distinct from any other SF that was being written around this time, at least within the walls of genre publishing."[8]
