by Mx. Kris Vyas-Myall Arthur Sellings Double Feature I was sad to read in last month’s Science Fiction Times of the death of Arthur Sellings at only 47. His is a name not well known enough outside of the UK. His story follows the standard pattern of many of the current crop of great SF … Continue reading [December 16, 1968] Adventure and eulogies (December Galactoscope) →

by Victoria Silverwolf Welcome Back, Comrade It's been more than a quarter of a century since the Communist Party of the United States ran candidates for President and Vice-President.

by Cora Buhlert 1967 is off to a cold and wet start here in West Germany, so it's the perfect opportunity to stay indoors and read. Thankfully, I have a plethora of magazines to keep me company.

by Victoria Silverwolf Burning Curiosity It's probably just my morbid imagination, but it seems to me that the most intriguing, if horrifying, event in recent days was the demise of Doctor John Irving Bentley earlier this month. The elderly physician was reduced to a pile of ashes (except for part of one leg) in what … Continue reading [December 8, 1966] Flesh and Blood (January 1967 Fantastic) →

Some are revered as movers and shakers (though not always unanimously); a few are reviled as debasers of the field; some are barely noticed at all. A few have earned sympathetic respect for making … Continue reading [September 26, 1966] All that glitters: in praise of Cele Goldsmith Lalli →
