The Father Thing by Philip K. Dick - Something is wrong with Dad… Charlie knows it, but no one believes him. Is it all in his head, or has something terrifying taken his father’s place?

It has been said that Dick believed he was living in two timelines simultaneously, one as himself in 1970s California and another as a persecuted Christian in ancient Rome. These bizarre experiences fueled his paranoia but also deepened the philosophical depth of his later works. The Father Thing is one of his earlier works, published in Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine in December 1954.
