Distinctly British yet with breakthrough appeal to American readers matched only by George Orwell, Wyndham thrived trans-Atlantically during the heyday of the digest-sized magazines, under his own name as well as a variety of recombinant pseudonyms which allowed him to collaborate with himself as he first planted boots in the sci-fi pulps of the 1930s.</p><p>As John Beynon (or John B.) Harris, he debuted this collections first tale, The Lost Machine, in <em>Amazing Stories</em>, and followed with sales to <em>Wonder Stories, Fantasy,</em> and <em>New Worlds</em> up until World War II provided an interruption and hiatus.</p><p>After the war years, Wyndham wholly recreated himself. The 1950s brought a decade-long run of novels that made him globally famous and redefined science fiction. Through it all, the short stories continued, always startling, always thought-provoking.</p><p>The seed of his all-time classic <em>The Day of the Triffids</em> is found here in Spheres of Hell (also known as The Puffball Menace).</p><p>By the 1960s he was firing on all cylinders ? cogent, innovative stuff such as Odd (which debuted in the spellbinding <em>Consider Her Ways and Others</em>) and The Asteroids, 2194 (part of his pastiche novel of the space-faring Troon dynasty, <em>The Outward Urge</em>).</p><p>It is the magazines, pulps and digests, from <em>Thrilling Wonder Stories</em> to <em>Argosy</em>, that provide the bulk of these oddities and rediscoveries, now gathered under one roof here for your pleasure ? including five <em><strong>previously uncollected</strong></em> tales.</p><p>Only five collections were published during Wyndhams lifetime. Following his death in 1969 a number of short fiction assemblies appeared, but the most recent of these was twenty years ago. Hence, the time has come for <em>Logical Fantasy</em> as primer, tribute, and reminder of one of the genres major, lasting talents.</p><p><strong>Table of Contents:</strong></p><p>Introduction by Michael Marshall Smith<br />The Lost Machine<br />Spheres of Hell<br />The Man from Beyond<br />Beyond the Screen<br />Child of Power<br />The Living Lies<br />The Eternal Eve<br />Pawleys Peepholes<br />The Wheel<br />Survival<br />Chinese Puzzle<br />Perforce to Dream<br />Never on Mars<br />Compassion Circuit<br />Brief to Counsel<br />Odd<br />The Asteroids, 2194<br />A Stitch in Time</p>...1230007754456_Subterranean Presslibro_electonico_1230007754456_1230007754456John WyndhamInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/58736b4c-b848-4bde-9d6e-f2fe5533db0a-epub-9c4e19fa-46b3-4d42-8037-808b2dbddb50.epub2024-04-30T00:00:00+00:00Subterranean Press
