Book by J A Cuddon

Attention, earthlings! Here are twenty imaginative stories from the pioneers of sci-fi and the best of today"s popular science fiction writers, including Isaac Asimov, H. G. Wells, Arthur C. Clarke, and Ray Bradbury.

It was dark by the time Lucas stopped his taxi in the driveway of the Wheeler home and lumbered up the path to the front entrance. He still wore his heavy boots, despite the spring thaw; his mackinaw and knitted cap were reminders of the hard winter that had come and gone. When Geraldine Wheeler opened the door, wearing her lightweight traveling suit, she shivered at the sight of him. "Come in," she said crisply. "My trunk is inside." Lucas went through the foyer to the stairway, knowing his way around the house, accustomed to its rich dark textures and somber furnishings; he was Medvale's only taxi driver. He found the heavy black trunk at the foot of the stairs, and hoisted it on his back. "That all the luggage, Miss Wheeler?" "That's all. I've sent the rest ahead to the ship. Good heavens, Lucas, aren't you hot in that outfit?" She opened a drawer and rummaged through it. "I've probably forgotten a million things. Gas, electricity, phone . . . Fireplace! Lucas, would you check it for me, please?" "Yes, miss," Lucas said. He went into the living room, past the white-shrouded furniture. There were some glowing embers among the blackened stumps, and he snuffed them out with a poker. A moment later the woman entered, pulling on long silken gloves. "All right," she said breathlessly. "I guess that's all. We can go now." "Yes, miss," Lucas said.

The stories of magic and transformation that we call fairy tales are among the oldest known forms of literature, and many the most popular. "Jack and the Beanstalk," "Sleeping Beauty," "Little Red Ridinghood"--these ageless tales seem to have been written an almost magically long time ago. Yet fairy tales are still being created to this very day. And while they are principally directed to children and have child protagonists, these modern fairy tales, like the classics, have messages to those of all ages. In The Oxford Book of Modern Fairy Tales , Alison Lurie has collected forty tales that date from the late nineteenth century up to the present. Here are trolls and princesses, magic and mayhem, morals to be told and lessons to be learned--all the elements of the classic fairy tale, in new and fantastical trappings. In Charles Dickens's "The Magic Fishbone," we find an unusually pragmatic princess who uses her one wish only after she has tried to solve her family's problems through hard work. Angela Carter's "The Courtship of Mr. Lyon" is a "Beauty and the Beast" tale with a contemporary twist, in which Beauty leaves Beast to live the high life, becoming a society brat who "smiled at herself in mirrors too much." And in T.H. White's "The Troll," we find out how his father killed the troll that tried to eat him. In these enchanting pages we also see how modern writers have taken the classic fairy tale and adapted it to their times in a variety of ways. Francis Browne, for example, takes a poke at Victorian standards of beauty in "The Story of Fairyfoot," about a young prince who is cast out of the kingdom of Stumpinghame because, unlike the fashion of the town, his feet are too small. Some writers, such as Ursula Le Guin, have taken familiar myths and turned them upside down. In Le Guin's "The Wife's Story," a mother sees the horrible transformation of her husband into "the hateful one", and then watches her sister and neighbors mob and kill this "creature whose hair had begun to come away all over his body...the eyes gone blue...staring at me out of that flat, soft, white face." And L.F. Baum's "The Queen of Quok," contains a castle and royal characters in a kingdom run by common sense and small-town American values. At one point the boy king of Quok has to borrow a dime from his counsellor to buy a ham sandwich, and greed transforms his young queen-to-be into a haggard old woman. With tales from the likes of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Oscar Wilde, Carl Sandburg, James Thurber, Donald Barthelme, Louise Erdrich, and many more, The Oxford Book of Modern Fairy Tales brings us through the modern-day world of the supernatural, the mystical, the moral, and reminds us that fairy tales are still very much alive.

When acclaimed mystery writer Dorothy L. Sayers first began compiling anthologies of the best crime stories in the 1920s and ’30s, the genre was in the flush of its first golden age. While it is hard to imagine today—after every possible mystery plot has been told, retold, subverted, and played straight again by hundreds of writers over nearly a century—in Sayers’s day there were still twists that had never been seen, and machinations of crime that would shock even jaded Jazz Age readers. Now today’s fans of mystery and crime can experience a handpicked collection of over thirty of the most outstanding stories from this era, originally chosen by Sayers and newly introduced by Otto Penzler, a leading expert and connoisseur in the field of mystery literature. As a prolific writer of the genre, Sayers understood the difficulty of putting together a mystery that was not only sufficiently challenging (so that the solution was not immediately obvious to the reader), but also solvable without forcing the writer to cheat. That balance between opacity and solvability remains the greatest challenge of writing great crime stories—and these are some of the greatest. Authors appearing in this collection include: Edgar Allen Poe Herman Melville H. G. Wells Wilkie Collins Stephen Crane J. S. Le Fanu This is a treasure trove for real fans!

The thinking outdoorsman's handbook to the heebie-jeebies, this second volume of our Campfire Collection offers up terrifying tales sure to make the sturdiest of campers run for the hills. Perfect to read out loud around a fire or in the comfort (and relative safety) of a cozy armchair, Ghosts, Beasts, and Things That Go Bump in the Night includes both fact and fiction, capturing the dark side of the great outdoors. From Paul Bowles's Allal to H.G. Wells's The Valley of the Spiders , these stories cause pulses to quicken and palms to sweat. Designed with rounded corners, a durable cover, and large type for easy reading by campfire or flashlight, it's a rugged companion, trail-ready for any excursion.

H.G. Wells has been called the father of science fiction, and with genre-defining classics like The War of the Worlds and The Time Machine , it's obvious why. The War of the Worlds is as vivid and powerful today as the day it was written. In this collection, which also includes the full text of The War of the Worlds, fourteen of science fiction's greatest talents come together to discuss, with insight and humor, one of science fiction's most important works. Essays include: • “H. G. Wells' Enduring Mythos of Mars," in which Stephen Baxter provides the history of man's investigators of Mars and explains why Wells was right after all • “Just Who Were Those Martians, Anyway?" in which Lawrence Watt-Evans explains how ridiculously incompetent the Martians were as interplanetary invaders, and why • “In Working's Image," in which Mercedes Lackey takes us to a different alien world: Wells' hometown of Working during the late 19th century • “The Tiniest Assassins," in which Mike Resnick suggests that Wells gets one tiny thing wrong • The Hugo-winning “The Soul Selects Her Own Society" (the only reprint in this anthology), in which Connie Willis describes the unfortunate encounter between Emily Dickinson and Wells' Martians

Collected within are thirteen tales of horror and the macabre. Five classic works by author's such as Edgar Allen Poe and H.G. Wells have inspired a new generation of twisted authors, tainted them, if you will. Keep the lights on; Tainted is loaded with darkness.

An old man discovers a baby the size of his thumb in a glowing stalk of bamboo, and the baby grows into a beautiful woman princess from the moon. The emperor of Japan falls in love with her, but the moon people come to take her away in a flying saucer. So goes a tenth-century Japanese fairy tale, The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, one of the earliest known examples of science fiction. But can we call a fairy tale, "science fiction?" The experts don't agree. Many old stories feature the moon, other planets, and scientific advance but none call themselves science fiction. Instead, experts apply the term proto-science fiction to these historic works. This book is a brief introduction to the genre. It provides the history of science fictions origins, and shows the culture that influenced the work. More than an introduction, however, it is also an anthology of the work; not only do you get to read the history behind the work--you actually get to read the work. Dozens of works are included in this large collection; authors and works include: Mary Shelley Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus The Last Man Edgar Allan Poe The Unparalleled Adventures of One Hans Pfall Jules Verne 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas Around the World in Eighty Days From the Earth to the Moon A Journey to the Interior of the Earth The Mysterious Island Edward Bellamy Dr. Heidenhoff's Process Looking Backward Equality H.G. Wells The First Men in the Moon The Invisible Man: A Grotesque Romance The Island of Doctor Moreau The Time Machine The War of the Worlds The World Set Free This work is part of a large collection titled "The History of Science Fiction."

These ten short stories from the golden age of science fiction feature classic SF writers including H.G. Wells, Ray Bradbury and J.G. Ballard, as well as lesser-known writers from the genre. An antique shop owner gets a glimpse of the red planet through an intriguing artefact. A Martian's wife contemplates the possibility of life on Earth. A resident of Venus describes his travels across the two alien planets. From an arid desert to an advanced society far superior to that of Earth, portrayals of Mars have differed radically in their attempt to uncover the truth about our neighbouring planet. Since the 1880s, writers of science fiction have delighted in speculating on what life on Mars might look like and what might happen should we make contact with the planet's inhabitants. In these stories, they reveal much about how we understand our place in the universe. Lost Mars is the first volume in the British Library Science Fiction Classics series.
