An SF Gateway eBook: bringing the classics to the future.
Originally published in 1940, the protagonist of Lost Men in the Grass is a chemist who invents a serum designed to prolong life, but which in fact enormously shrinks its subjects. It precedes Richard Matheson's famous novel The Incredible Shrinking Man (1956).
