Ed
Gorman’s Fan Letter to Science Fiction Quarterly published
in the Nov. 1956 issue |
|
The mystery writer and all-around good guy Ed Gorman (1941 – 2016) would have been 15 years old when this fan letter appeared in the Nov. 1956 issue of Science Fiction Quarterly. The addressee, “Mr. Lowndes,” was one Robert W. Lowndes, the editor of SFQ and the stories Ed mentions in the letter were authored by the following… (1) “No Future in This” by Robert Randall; (2) “One of Them?” by Robert Abernathy; (3) “The Big Hush” by Irving E. Cox, Jr.; (4) “The Munk Hour” by Basil Wells; (5) “The Man Whom Left Paradise” by Russ Winterbotham & “The Piece Thing” by Carol Emshwiller; and the “below average” Inside Science Fiction column was written by Robert A. Madle. |

L imagine most of your readers know "Robert Randall" was usually if not always a collaboration between Robert Silverberg and Randall Garrett...I suspect I might grade the Emshwiller higher, and should seek it out...
I imagine, L imagines...
