STRANGE TALES 10

Children's Books

Price, Susan

Kim Rendall will not yield to the tyranny of the power-madrulers of Alphin III. Branded an outlaw, he is in danger of psychological torture worse than death from the Disiplinary Circuit, which keeps the masses in check. 
 His one hope lies in the Starshine, an outmoded spaceship. In a world where teleportation is the norm, no one travels by interstellar vessel anymore. Rendall plans to use the Starshine to save his girlfriend and himself -- and possibly his entire planet!

The Last Spaceship

Science Fiction & Fantasy

Leinster, Murray

Science Fiction

Hell started for Steve Floyd when the woman offered him $2,000 to take her to a distant island that very night. She led him to a golden Virgin Idol locked away in the ancient temple ruins of a lost civilization. A curse was supposed to have protected it for at least a thousand years. And she would have it at all costs!

Gold Lust

Nuetzel, Charles

It looked as if Joe Dickenson might actually make it in the filmland jungle. But first there were some very nasty roadblocks to demolish. Mainly, he had to bring the famous and powerful Carole Clement into line for the studio. Or his job would quickly be yanked out from under him.  Then there was the personal issue of tearing lovely, sweet Ann -- with whom he had fallen in love -- from the the clutches of the lustful Mari! And he knew it would take a master of emotions to pull it off...

Parley in Passion

Harmon's Galaxy

Harmon, Jim

The Beckoning Fair One is sometimes called the greatest ghost story in the English language; it may well be. Certainly it is one of the questest and most beautiful supernatural tales ever written. It reminds the reader of Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House" -- and that is huge praise indeed. 
 The story tells of British novelist Paul Oleron, who lives restlessly in cramped quarters, looking -- as writers do -- for some way not to work on the project at hand. That is when he sees a vast and beautiful old house for rent. He takes the first floor and moves in. When his friend Elsie Benbough comes to visit, weirdness begins. The house, it seems, does not like Elsie and begins to inflict minor but mean-spirited injuries upon her. Feeling the presence of something evil, she warns Oleron that he will never be able to work there. But Oleron is entranced . . . and then in love . . . and soon obsessed. . . .

Genre Fiction

YOU ARE THERE!- Centuries, eons from now the peculiar, fantastic, astounding MIND OF MAN will conquer strange, new worlds, presently beyond the reaches of imagination-and probe the meaning of the central core of infinity with instruments of incredible scientific precision!  YOUR ARE THERE!- In the far-off era when man will defy gravity, space, time-to explore the UNIVERSE and make immensity his own!  Murray Leinster is widely acknowledged by fans as the "Dean of Science Fiction" and even as "Mr. Science Fiction." LIFE has reported that he reads more technical literature than most research scientists. He is also a successful inventor in his own right.

The Planet Explorer

Jerome Klapka Jerome (1859-1927) was an English author, best known for the humorous travelogue Three Men in a Boat. Three Men in a Boat begins:  THERE were four of us -- George, and William Samuel Harris, and myself, and Montmorency. We were sitting in my room, smoking, and talking about how bad we were -- bad from a medical point of view I mean, of course.  We were all feeling seedy, and we were getting quite nervous about it. Harris said he felt such extraordinary fits of giddiness come over him at times, that he hardly knew what he was doing; and then George said that HE had fits of giddiness too, and hardly knew what HE was doing. With me, it was my liver that was out of order. I knew it was my liver that was out of order, because I had just been reading a patent liver-pill circular, in which were detailed the various symptoms by which a man could tell when his liver was out of order. I had them all.  It is a most extraordinary thing, but I never read a patent medicine advertisement without being impelled to the conclusion that I am suffering from the particular disease therein dealt with in its most virulent form. The diagnosis seems in every case to correspond exactly with all the sensations that I have ever felt.
