  • JUDITH MERRIL-PDF-Sep23-07.Pdf (368.7Kb)
    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.

  • TALES of TOMORROW” TV Sci-Fi Experiment in the 1950’S
    “TALES OF TOMORROW” TV Sci-Fi Experiment in the 1950’s Retrospective by Dr. John L. Flynn Tales of Tomorrow was the first television series to treat the science fiction genre seriously. Many of its scripts were adapted from stories by masters of science fiction (such as H.G. Wells and Mary Shelley), and its production values were highly technological for 1951. It was a forerunner of The Twilight Zone, Science Fiction Theatre, and The Outer Limits , and with its unique format as an anthology series. Tales of Tomorrow was flexible enough to offer a full range of science fiction, fantasy and horror stories. Late in 1950, creator Mort Abrahams (first producer of Tom Corbett-Space Cadet) and producer George F. Foley Jr. came up with the revolutionary idea of involving science fiction writers in the production of a series. They organized a semi-commercial group, known as the Science Fiction League, and employed writers such as Fletcher Pratt, Horace Gold and Alvin Sapinsky. They then approached several network executives with a unique format proposal, and sold ABC-TV a science fiction series that would showcase the most talented writers, artists and technicians in the field. First telecast on Aug. 3, 1951, Tales of Tomorrow was critically acclaimed for its excellent stories and first quality production values. Its half hour segments were highly innovative (considering the restrictions of ''live'' television) and included adaptations of classics such as Frankenstein and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea as well as original stories. Abrahams insisted, as a rule, that all episodes focus on human drama played against the backdrop of science fiction and that technical effects never be substituted for first class writing! But the audiences at the time were less sophisticated in their viewing tastes and preferred the comic book exploits of Captain Video or the juvenile fantasy of Tom Corbett-Space Cadet to Abrahams' vision.

  • {PDF EPUB} ~Download the Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham John Wyndham: the Unread Bestseller
    {Read} {PDF EPUB} ~download The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham John Wyndham: The unread bestseller. One of the drawbacks of being a bestselling author is that no one reads you properly. Sure they read you, but do they really read you? I've been thinking about this because Nicola Swords and I have just made a documentary for Radio 4 about John Wyndham. Wyndham is probably the most successful British science fiction writer after HG Wells, and his books have never been out of print. He continues to haunt the public imagination – either through adaptations of his own work (last Christmas gave us a new Day of the Triffids on the BBC) or through thinly disguised homages (witness the opening of Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later, which almost exactly resembles the first chapters of The Day of the Triffids, and is in its turn parodied in the opening of Shaun of the Dead). But because his books are so familiar, maybe we don't look too closely at them. I read a lot of Wyndham when I was a teenager. Then, a few years ago, when I was looking around for books to adapt as a Radio 4 "classic serial", I thought of The Midwich Cuckoos. Rereading it, I was startled to find a searching novel of moral ambiguities where once I'd seen only an inventive but simple SF thriller. If you don't know the story, the village of Midwich is visited by aliens who put the whole place to sleep for 24 hours and depart; some weeks later all the women of childbearing age find they are pregnant, and give birth to golden-eyed telepathic children whose powers are soon turned against the village and the world.

  • {PDF EPUB} the Day After Tomorrow by Robert A. Heinlein Sixth Column (The Day After Tomorrow) by Robert A
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Day After Tomorrow by Robert A. Heinlein Sixth Column (The Day After Tomorrow) by Robert A. Heinlein. Published 1949. Originally published as The Day After Tomorrow by Anson McDonald in Astounding Magazine , (later Analog ),1941. 241 pages (from the Virginia Heinlein edition, based on the 1949 Gnome Press hardback.) Review by Mark Yon. Here’s one of my occasional re-reads of Robert Anson Heinlein’s novels. This one is what they call ‘a fixup’, originally being in three parts in the January, February and March editions of Astounding Magazine , under the editorial tuition of John W. Campbell. It became a slightly revised novel in 1949, with the author’s real name rather than his pseudonym, and a little tidying up. Putting it in the context of Heinlein’s other writing, it was published as a novel after his juvenile book Red Planet and before Farmer in the Sky . As written by Anson McDonald, however, it was not written with the intention of being for the juvenile market, but as something more adult. I found it less satisfying than Red Planet and Farmer in the Sky , its adult voice both uncertain and unreal. It reflects the fact that it was written before Heinlein had had any novels published, and seems a little wobbly both in its concept and its delivery: something which would become much less noticeable as Heinlein becomes more confident in later writing. This lack of success may also be partly due to the fact that Sixth Column was based upon an idea given to Heinlein from Campbell, the only major work of Heinlein’s career to be plotted by someone else.

  • The Outer Limits
    From the Inner Mind to The Outer Limits Retrospective by Dr. John L. Flynn Introduction “There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: There is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to THE OUTER LIMITS. .” Those few chilling words, when first heard on September 16, 1963, introduced what many consider the best anthology series of its kind to American audiences. The three major networks produced few exceptional television shows during the decade of the Sixties, and even fewer ones with a science-fictional premise, yet widespread acclaim for The Outer Limits has continued more than thirty years after its untimely cancellation. Like its predecessors, including Tales of Tomorrow, Science Fiction Theatre and The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits offered some bewitching excursions into the realm of science fiction; but it also journeyed beyond the limitless regions of time and space into the human soul. Nearly everyone who remembers the series fondly recalls the monsters that appeared in their living rooms week after week.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. The choice of literary fiction to the general exclusion of popular fiction is partly because the latter’s response to the Cold War has received some study, but also because study of the topic tends to overemphasise its source material. For example, see LynnDiane Beene paraphrased in Brian Diemert, ‘The Anti- American: Graham Greene and the Cold War in the 1950s’, in Andrew Hammond, ed., Cold War Literature: Writing the Global Conflict (London and New York: Routledge, 2006), p. 213; and David Seed, American Science Fiction and the Cold War: Literature and Film (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 1999), p. 192. 2.
