Girls for the Slime God

This collection is based around three Henry Kuttner stories published in 1938, stories that (almost) actually delivered on the lurid promises of the pulp magazine covers of the day. Besides the Kuttner stories, the 1960 Playboy article by William Knoles and the story Isaac Asimov was prompted to write in response are included. Carol Resnick wrote a script adapted from one of the stories and Malzberg's afterword sheds additional light on the Asimov story. The book celebrates an era when heroic spacemen saved scantily-clad women from bug-eyed monsters and evil scientists bent on galactic conquest.
