Simon Clark, author of The Night of the Triffids, stated in an interview: "The film version is enjoyable, luring the effective looking Triffids away with music from an ice-cream van and some other good action scenes. The Triffids' death-by-seawater climax is weak and contrived though. But it would still rank in my all-time top 100 films". [5] Fiction Book Review: Death's Dominion by Simon Clark".

The Night That Never Ends: The novel begins at 9 AM in summer, and when the main character awakens it is as dark as midnight in winter. A combination of very dense clouds and an asteroid cloud passing between the Sun and Earth is the cause. Later in the story, when the clouds leave, there is light, but the sun looks like it is dying.It's never easy writing a sequel to a classic, but Simon Clark should satisfy sci-fi fans with this follow up to John Wyndham's hit The Day of the Triffids. ( Peterborough Evening Telegraph) The appearance of Torrence again seemed unnecessary and implausible. It seemed far-fetched in the first place in Wyndham’s book that the same person Bill casually meets in London would turn up five years later on the South Downs.

Colin Manlove highlights this phenomenon in his essay "Everything Slipping Away: John Wyndham's The Day of the Triffids": [23]
