The next Con Stellation XVIII concom meeting will be held at BookMark at 6:30P on Thursday 18 March 1999. This is an eating meeting Ñ the first of the year. It was decided at the February meeting that food themes would be centered on (this is my term) Òmonsters and other things that go bump in the night.Ó (This is in honor of our Halloween date for the con this year.) So the food theme (and donÕt blame me for this one!) is Òcannibalistic homicidal maniacs.Ó Inside this issueÉ NASFA Calendar............................................................2 NASFA Receivables .......................................................3 Minutes of the February Meeting ...................................2 Special Book Review Section.........................................4 Nominations News .........................................................2 Letters of Comment ........................................................6 Deadline for the April 1999 issue of The NASFA Shuttle is Friday, 2 April 1999. 1 Municipal Building.

He struggles to get up out of the hole, finally makes it, and is a little happier when he is finished. He's faced something and survived.

    JUDITH MERRIL: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY AND GUIDE Compiled by Elizabeth Cummins Department of English and Technical Communication University of Missouri-Rolla Rolla, MO 65409-0560 College Station, TX The Center for the Bibliography of Science Fiction and Fantasy December 2006 Table of Contents Preface Judith Merril Chronology A. Books B. Short Fiction C. Nonfiction D. Poetry E. Other Media F. Editorial Credits G. Secondary Sources About Elizabeth Cummins PREFACE Scope and Purpose This Judith Merril bibliography includes both primary and secondary works, arranged in categories that are suitable for her career and that are, generally, common to the other bibliographies in the Center for Bibliographic Studies in Science Fiction. Works by Merril include a variety of types and modes—pieces she wrote at Morris High School in the Bronx, newsletters and fanzines she edited; sports, westerns, and detective fiction and non-fiction published in pulp magazines up to 1950; science fiction stories, novellas, and novels; book reviews; critical essays; edited anthologies; and both audio and video recordings of her fiction and non-fiction. Works about Merill cover over six decades, beginning shortly after her first science fiction story appeared (1948) and continuing after her death (1997), and in several modes— biography, news, critical commentary, tribute, visual and audio records. This new online bibliography updates and expands the primary bibliography I published in 2001 (Elizabeth Cummins, “Bibliography of Works by Judith Merril,” Extrapolation, vol. 42, 2001). It also adds a secondary bibliography. However, the reasons for producing a research- based Merril bibliography have been the same for both publications. Published bibliographies of Merril’s work have been incomplete and often inaccurate.
