Product Description
Cambridge, MD and Belleville, NJ: Science-Fantasy Correspondent, 1937. First Issue. Bimonthly Periodical, Vol. One, No. Two (Jan-Feb., 1937). 6x4ΒΌ, 36 pp. including ads. Original pictorial wrappers with Virgil Finlay design, stapled. First issue with wrappers soiled, worn and separating along spine; else very good. Scarce little vehicle for the science fiction and fantasy community, with contributions by Forrest J. Ackermann, H.P. Lovecraft, Arthur J. Burks, John Russell Fearn and others. Robert Bloch's "A Visit with H.P. Lovecraft," is listed as fiction, with subheading "Proving Truth Stranger than Fiction." In the story, Lovecraft is depicted as eating the writer of the story. Lovecraft comments separately "...I seldom eat people alive except for Sunday dinner. As a general thing, I prefer human flesh cooked; and I generally avoid authors as a diet, since they tend to be lean and tasteless." As the original owner now notes, "we now know a chianti helps". Forrest J. Ackerman asks, "Will Color Kill Fantascience Films ?"; Arthur Burks expounds: "Don't be Afraid to Criticise". "Pastime" is a short sci-fi story by George Millet Fulton - the pseudonym of the editor of a competing periodical. Raymond Z. Gallun offers an uplifting on-topic poem, "To A Pebble", and John Russell Fearn's "Fantacelluloid" is a review of then-current - and upcoming - science fiction films. Other short items are headed by editor Willis Conover's "Fan Magazines- An Editorial". Probably the only issue listing both Cambridge, MD and Belleville, NJ as publisher's locations. Small, short, un-ostentatious, and a rare morsel from science fiction history. L-25
