If you have
stumbled upon this page…through chance or Blogger’s “NEXT BLOG” function…and
like what you see…then you can continue to follow it at saralightwaller.com, my
own website.
I hope you do…but
this blog’s not for everyone.
Just people
who like:
- SCIENCE
- SCIENCE FICTION
- SPIRITUALITY
- QUANTUM PHYSICS
- TIME
- ALIENS
- TRANSHUMANISM
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE- CONSPIRACIES
- SEMANTICS
- GENETICS
…and, of course, the Pulp Visionaries from
the early to mid-20C.
Who are these Pulp Visionaries anyway?
I’m talking
about science fiction writers like Henry Kuttner, C. L. Moore, Murray Leinster,
Fredric Brown, E.E. Doc Smith, L. Sprague De Camp and others who created a
legacy of speculative science fiction that inspired generations. Writers who told
stories that gave us glimpses into a remarkably accurate future. Many of these
writers, and certainly their stories, have been long forgotten. I dredge them
up and bring them forward…for your consideration.
As I said
before…this blog isn’t for everyone. But if you wonder about repeating cycles
of trends in culture and society or, you're curious how something written back in
the 1930’s or 40’s can predict science or culture in 2016…then you’ve parked at
the right place.
Check out the
posts…see what you think, leave comments.
It’s all
good.
Most of all…have
fun! Because that’s what it’s really all about.
Sincerely,
Sara (Pulp
Fiction historian)
P.S. I think
I’ve ALMOST read through all of Henry Kuttner’s EXTENSIVE list of works. The
ones I haven’t read, I just haven’t been able to get my hands on because some stories were only published ONCE
in a pulp magazine back in the day and also because Kuttner and Moore used EIGHTEEN pseudonyms! (And yes! I DO know about the Kuttner / Barnes collaborations as Kelvin Kent and as Arthur K. Barnes.)
- Edward J. Bellin
- Paul Edmonds
- Noel Gardner
- Will Garth
- James Hall
- Keith Hammond
- Hudson Hastings
- Peter Horn
- Kelvin Kent
- Robert O. Kenyon
- H. Kuttner
- Henry Kuttner, Jr.
- C. H. Liddell
- Scott Morgan
- Lawrence O'Donnell
- Lewis Padgett
- Woodrow Wilson Smith
- Charles Stoddard
P.P.S. And about
Kuttner’s horror writing…it’s pretty darned scary so I haven’t read ALL of that
yet either. But I will…eventually, I will.
