Synopsis

Lost Sci-Fi Books 171 thru 175 reaches across more than two centuries of imaginative storytelling, bringing together Voltaire, Ray Bradbury and Henry Hasse, H. G. Wells, and Lawrence M. Jannifer in a collection that travels from distant stars to haunted rooms and dangerous city streets.Micromegas by Voltaire was first published in 1752, long before science fiction had a name. A gigantic traveler from a planet orbiting Sirius journeys to Saturn and eventually Earth, where encounters with vastly different forms of life allow Voltaire to examine humanity from a wonderfully unexpected perspective.Final Victim by Ray Bradbury and Henry Hasse takes the hunt for a criminal into the darkness of space. Pursuit is difficult enough under ordinary circumstances, but this fugitive has chosen a desolate piece of rock in the void where survival itself becomes part of the chase.The Red Room by H. G. Wells follows a skeptical young man determined to spend the night in a supposedly haunted room at Lorraine Castle. He dismisses the warnings of the castle’s strange custodians, but once the door closes and his vigil begins, confidence gives way to something far more difficult to explain.Curse of the Blue Man by Lawrence M. Jannifer moves into the nighttime streets of the city, where a terrifying figure stalks the darkness. His body gives off an eerie blue glow, and the bloodstained iron bar in his hand leaves little doubt about the danger he represents.From an interplanetary voyage written in 1752 to pursuit across space and terror lurking in the darkness, Lost Sci-Fi Books 171 thru 175 offers five journeys into some of the strangest corners of imaginative fiction.

About Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, playwright, screenwriter, and poet. He became a full-time writer in 1943 and contributed numerous short stories to periodicals before publishing a collection of them, Dark Carnival, in 1947.
His reputation as a writer of courage and vision was established with the publication of The Martian Chronicles in 1950, which describes Earthlings' first attempts to conquer and colonize Mars and the unintended consequences. Next came The Illustrated Man and Fahrenheit 451, which many consider to be Bradbury's masterpiece. Other works by Bradbury include The October Country, Dandelion Wine, A Medicine for Melancholy, Something Wicked This Way Comes, I Sing the Body Electric! Quicker Than the Eye, and Driving Blind. In all, Bradbury published more than thirty books and close to six hundred short stories. He has been awarded the O. Henry Memorial Award, the Benjamin Franklin Award, the World Fantasy Award for Lifetime Achievement, the Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America, and the PEN Center USA West Lifetime Achievement Award, among others.
