The Arbor House Treasury of Great Science Fiction Short Novels. This book does not appear to be part of a series. If this is incorrect, and you know the name of the series to which it belongs, please let us know. Synopsis. The follow-up to Silverberg's earlier Arbor House anthology focuses on short novels, or novellas, and discusses the difficulty of reprinting notable works of these lengths in anthologies with limited space. (Silverberg did an earlier, paperback anthology, Great Short Novels of Science Fiction , that just preceded in 1970 the first volume of his Alpha series. That book included 3 of the 15 stories here.) Though a companion to the earlier Arbor House anthology, Silverberg slightly relaxes that one's scope; one story here was published in 1945, and Silverberg's introduction mentions that one story was written as early as 1941.

Henry Slesar - Short Stories - Selected Short Stories. “ Hemingway is terribly limited. His technique is good for short stories , for people who meet once in a bar very late at night, but do not enter into relations. But not for the novel. ” —W.H. (Wystan Hugh) “ She was so overcome by the splendor of his achievement that she took him into the closet and selected a choice apple and delivered it to him, along with an improving lecture upon the added value and flavor a treat took to itself when it came without sin through virtuous effort. And while she closed with a Scriptural flourish, he “hooked” a doughnut. ” —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910) “ Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He cometh up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay. ” —“Burial of the Dead,” first anthem, Book of Common Prayer (1662) “ A curious thing about atrocity stories is that they mirror, instead of the events they purport to describe, the extent of the hatred of the people that tell them. Still, you can’t listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder. ” —John Dos Passos (1896–1970) The Arbor House Treasury of Nobel Prize Winners. Martin H. Greenberg was born in 1942.
