A massive anthology of wonderful re-discovered classic stories of the golden age of sci-fi and fantasy pulp fiction, many heretofore unavailable for decades. The selections in this anthology include stunning representatives of practically every type of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror represented in the pre-World War II era of speculative fiction. No anthology gives a better feel for or a more consistently higher caliber of golden age story telling in the genre. Some newer selections show the sense of wonder is alive a well today. Each selection is introduced with a commentary by Forrest J Ackerman. Authors include A. E. van Vogt; Gustav Meyrink, Catherine L. Moore, H. L. Gold, Dorothy Quick, P. Schulyer, and many more. Illustrated throughout by masters such as Hannes Bok, Virgil Finlay, Lawrence, Coye, Orban, and others.
