Description
The ambitious program
to collect the short fiction of Grand
Master Jack
Williamson continues! Of the 10 tales in
this collection drawn
from classic pulp magazines--Unknown,
Thrilling Wonder Stories, Super Science Stories, Marvel Stories, Comet,
Argosy Weekly, Startling Stories, and the rare fanzine
Stardust
(three of
which are full-length novels!)--nearly half have never been reprinted
before.
Featured is the
original
novella-length version of "Darker Than You Think" and the magazine
texts of
"The Reign of Wizardry" and "Gateway to Paradise" (previously published
as Dome Over America.)
Also included is Williamson's
afterword with his recollections on the genesis of these tales and the
pre-World War II science fiction field.
Like previous volumes
in this series, the
full-color endpapers
reproduce the original magazine covers (with artwork by pulp masters
including Belarski, Cartier, Rogers, Bergey and Scott) of the stories
herein,
and the
binding is designed to match the 1940s editions of Williamson's works
published by Fantasy Press. The book
is smythe-sewn, bound in full cloth, and printed on acid-neutral paper,
with full-color endpapers reproducing the original pulp magazine cover
art.
With a foreword by
author, editor, collaborator, and long-time friend of
Williamson (and fellow Science Fiction Grand Master), Frederik Pohl, Gateway to
Paradise contains the sense
of wonder
from the early years of American Science Fiction and continues the
documentation of Williamson's unparalleled career.
