Book excerpt: Providing fast-action science fiction novels, Startling Stories was established beginning in January 1939 as a sister publication to Thrilling Wonder Stories. Publishing 99 issues in all, and combining Fantastic Story Magazine and Thrilling Wonder Stories with its ninety-seventh issue, it finally suspended publication in Fall 1955, one of the last of the pulps to fold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ross Rocklynne (1913-1988) was the pen name used by Ross Louis Rocklin, an American science fiction author active in the Golden Age of Science Fiction. Born in 1913 in Ohio, Rocklynne was a regular contributor to the science fiction pulps. He was a professional guest at the first World Science Fiction Convention in 1939. Despite his numerous appearances and solid writing, Rocklynne never quite achieved the fame of his contemporaries Robert A. Heinlein, L. Sprague DeCamp, and Isaac Asimov. His most well known story is probably "The Men and the Mirror," first published in 1938. Rocklynne partially retired from writing in the late 1950s, but made a notable return in the 1970s when his novelette "Ching Witch " was included in Harlan Ellison's original anthology, Again, Dangerous Visions (1972). "Ching Witch " was later nominated for a Nebula award. This volume contains an annotated bibliography of Ross Rocklynne's work. It features an introduction by Arthur Jean Cox, plus an index.

This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first of three volumes that chart the history of the science fiction magazine from the earliest days to the present. This first volume looks at the exuberant years of the pulp magazines. It traces the growth and development of the science fiction magazines from when Hugo Gernsback launched the very first, Amazing Stories, in 1926 through to the birth of the atomic age and the death of the pulps in the early 1950s. These were the days of the youth of science fiction, when it was brash, raw and exciting: the days of the first great space operas by Edward Elmer Smith and Edmond Hamilton, through the cosmic thought variants by Murray Leinster, Jack Williamson and others to the early 1940s when John W. Campbell at Astounding did his best to nurture the infant genre into adulthood. Under him such major names as Robert A. Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, A. E. van Vogt and Theodore Sturgeon emerged who, along with other such new talents as Ray Bradbury and Arthur C. Clarke, helped create modern science fiction. For over forty years magazines were at the heart of science fiction and this book considers how the magazines, and their publishers, editors and authors influenced the growth and perception of this fascinating genre.

Book excerpt: STARTLING STORIES! The name conjures up images and magazines of the past, our "bloody pulp" era in American literature, and when Science Fiction and Fantasy were a big part of our Popular Culture. Editor & Graphic Designer William Carney has given us the latest incarnation of this classic pulp magazine, slam-bang full of stories and art, both old and new! This first issue (Vol.2, #1) features: "The Girl in the Golden Atom" by Ray Cummings, with artwork by Robert Sankner, "To Bite The Worm" by S. Clayton Rhodes, "The Cursed Stele" by Cari Reese, "The Traveler: Wolves of Mars" by Wayne Skiver... as well as a fine article on "Margarate Brundage: Queen of Weird Tales" by K. G. McAbee, and even a new Sci-Fi comic strip "Saucy Blane" by pulp art legend Ron Wilber! We round out this issue with a small Art Portfolio featuring Ver Curtiss, the cover artist for this issue. This magazine also captures the look and feel of the "original" pulp, (including original pulp advertisements) and we hope that you enjoy this new offering of scintillating science fiction, space adventure, and weird dark menace! Look for it on a Quarterly basis, exclusively from Wild Cat Books... Where Pulp Lives!
