The Fourth Science Fiction MEGAPACK ®

George Scithers published AMRA, a leading sword and sorcery fanzine, beginning in 1959. The term "swords and sorcery" first appeared there, and AMRA became a leading proponent of the subgenre. Several of the articles originally published in AMRA were later re-printed as part of two volumes about Conan the Barbarian, which Scithers co-edited with L. Sprague de Camp. Contributors to the magazine included all the leading fantasists of the day. This issue includes contributions from: Fritz Leiber, L. Sprague de Camp, John Boardman, and Robert P. Sheridan.

Asimov's Choice, Black Holes & Bug-eyed-monsters

Here are thirteen stories, three haiku, and a conventional poem, all involving cats. A few, like "The Cats of Ulthar," by H. P. Lovecraft, and "Kreativity for Kats," by Fritz Leiber, are ­well-­known classics; others, like "Creeper Shadows," by Fred Chappell are freshly written and came meowing to us in search of a home. This volume in this series is devoted mostly to fantasy stories—a deal with the Devil, a re-incarnation, and a long tale of Medieval magic, even a dragon—along with a couple of murders and a science-fiction story. Included are: INTRODUCTION, by George H. Scithers NOT ANOTHER BLACK CAT STORY, by Geoffrey Maloney SCOUT, by Mary A. Turzillo AMERICAN CURLS, by Nancy Springer THE CATS OF ULTHAR, by H.P. Lovecraft KREATIVITY FOR KATS, by Fritz Leiber NON-EXISTENT CATS, by Tony Richards ANGELIQUE'S, by Sandra Beswetherick 3 HAIKU, by Mark Budman THE CAT, by Charles Baudelaire BLACK PUMPS & A SKANKY TOM, by Pat Esden DRAGON DREAMS, by Shereen Vedam CAT CALL, by K.D. Wentworth A CHRISTMAS CAROL, by Jack Williamson THE EYES OF RA, by Jim C. Hines CREEPER SHADOWS, by Fred Chappell

Tales from the Spaceport Bar

Here you will find the collective experience of three writers and editors distilled into a complete guide to writing science fiction. Separate chapters cover Idea, Plot, Character, Background, Science, Tragedy, and Comedy. Twelve stories, each a first sale by its author, illustrate the main points of the book. A foreword by Isaac Asimov gives an overall look at the task of becoming an SF writer, and an appendix by the editors explains exactly how to prepare a manuscript for publication.
