ABOUT THIS BOOKThe author's first book - a collection of six stories, all previously published in pulp format and here collected and in hardcover for the first time. Published in Philip Allan's 'Creeps' Series of anthologies, highlighting how science fiction and horror as separate genres had not yet been established. The stories presented in this anthology are each a mix of adventure and speculation. The interesting idea is weaved into a high octane plot, usually a combination of fantasy and horror more than of science fiction. The speculative ideas, based on facets such as evolution, the expanding universe and the arctic circle, have some scientific basis, but the technology and presentation help to date the publication of these works. Overall it is an interesting and somewhat enjoyable bit of pulp history, The stories include: • Horror on the Asteroid (Weird Tales, September 1933); • The Accursed Galaxy (Astounding Stories, July 1935); • The Man Who Saw Everything (Wonder Stories under the title 'The Man with X-Ray. . . Eyes', November 1933); • The Earth-Brain (Weird Tales, April 1932); • The Monster-God of Mamurth (Weird Tales, August 1926); • The Man Who Evolved (Wonder Stories, April 1931). (Bleiler; Locke: A Spectrum of ..Fantasy). This was also one of the titles in the publisher's Creeps series.
