The Dark Between the Stars I went outside to walk the dogs and to try and do some observing. Alas, the haze and the light pollution is such that the only "star" I could see was Jupiter. It struck me then, especially after reading (today) Ed Hamilton's Interstellar Patrol stories as well as (in the recent past) some Poul Anderson, some Jack Williamson, some Olaf Stapledon and a few others...maybe...

Haffner has made a name for itself by publishing beautiful editions of the works of Leigh Brackett , Jack Williamson and Ed Hamilton . These three continue the reprinting of Ed Hamilton, after a pretty long gap. Two of the books are collections of Hamilton's stories, The Metal Giants...

Finally have RATMIS, (the Ravensdeath Automated Thinking Machine and Intertube Scrubber) back home and so far, so not mind-scrapingly awful. The beast is far less noisy but still runs about as fast as Victor Buono after a long weekend trapped in a Vegas Buffet. Much to do today so I'll start off with these few tidbits and be back later with more... Film... A Retro Slashers Guide to Giallo Cinema The...

I recently discovered that the back cover of the 2007 Penguin Classics edition of A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs has a prominent blurb by Carl Sagan: "Might it really be possible—in fact and not fancy—to venture with John Carter to the Kingdom of Helium on the planet Mars?" Although the cover does not specify the source of the quote, it's from the "Blues for a...
