Since the appearance of the first science fiction magazine in 1926, thousands of short stories have been published in periodicals devoted to the genre. These stories cover a wide range of subjects, from spacecraft to the human condition, and feature little-known authors as well as masters like Ellison and Asimov. In the past, finding which issue of what magazine ran a certain story was nearly impossible. This much-needed reference tool provides valuable assistance in the daunting task of locating short stories published in science fiction magazines, providing exhaustive indexes to magazines, authors, and titles, allowing a variety of options for research on 34,000 stories appearing in nearly 5,000 issues of 133 genre magazines. Stories from all major American publications, as well as from several minor periodicals, are indexed. Also included is an appendix of the best known and most prolific contributors, giving the titles of all their stories in this work (necessary because the huge author index does not show titles). A guide to how to use this book clarifies its features for the researcher.

When Greta gives her love to Lord Richard Denton, she believes that she will soon be his wife. Too late, she learns that she is just one of many of his casual dalliances--but Greta, unlike Richard's wife or his other mistresses, bears him a child--a potential male heir to the title if he can be legitimatized. Richard’s selfish wife, Lady Nancy, has denied him any children, putting his title in jeopardy. When Richard learns that Greta has had his son, the nobleman tricks the girl into parting with her child, giving it up for adoption. Then Richard forces Nancy to present the boy to the world as their own true child--and heir. Greta discovers the deception at a time when she has fallen in love with Richard’s doctor friend, John Spencer. But now it seems to her that John was a party to the wicked conspiracy to deprive her of her child--a tragedy of errors that moves her through months of bleak despair to a dreadful climax along the Italian coast. A heart-wrenching--and -warming--story of sacrifice and love at its very best!

Three scientists proposed to construct a synthetic man, endowed with some five times the intelligence of the ordinary human being. This creature matures quickly, and eventually there steps into being a synthetic man -- "The Intelligence Gigantic." His intellectuality and his occult powers are impressive, but are backed by no humanity, no thought of the happiness of mankind. He has the desire and the power to control the whole world of humanity and to operate the life of the world on principles of arid mech­anism and absolute slavery... Presenting John Russell Fearn's classic debut novel, together with an early novelette "Climatica," both of which introduced new concepts to science fiction, including superhuman intelligence and weather control! John Russell Fearn (1908-1960) is noted for such grandly extravagant science fiction as "The Intelligence Gigantic," "The Liners of Time," "Mathematica," and the Golden Amazon series. He was so popular in his day that one of his pseudonyms became the editor of VARGO STATEN'S SCIENCE FICTION MAGAZINE in the 1950s. His work is noted for its vigor amd wild imagination. He has always had a substantial cult following and has been popular in translation around the world.

Complementing Science-Fiction: The Early Years, which surveys science-fiction published in book form from its beginnings through 1930, the present volume covers all the science-fiction printed in the genre magazines--Amazing, Astounding, and Wonder, along with offshoots and minor magazines--from 1926 through 1936. This is the first time this historically important literary phenomenon, which stands behind the enormous modern development of science-fiction, has been studied thoroughly and accurately. The heart of the book is a series of descriptions of all 1,835 stories published during this period, plus bibliographic information. Supplementing this are many useful features: detailed histories of each of the magazines, an issue by issue roster of contents, a technical analysis of the art work, brief authors' biographies, poetry and letter indexes, a theme and motif index of approximately 30,0000 entries, and general indexes. Science-Fiction: The Gernsback Years is not only indispensable for reference librarians, collectors, readers, and scholars interested in science-fiction, it is also of importance to the study of popular culture during the Great Depression in the United States. Most of its data, which are largely based on rare and almost unobtainable sources, are not available elsewhere.
