Rediscovery: Science Fiction by Women (1958-1963)
The Silver Age of Science Fiction saw a wealth of compelling speculative tales -- and women authors wrote some of the best of the best. Yet the stories of this era, especially those by women, have been largely unreprinted, unrepresented, and unremembered. Until Now. Rediscovery: Science Fiction by Women (1958-1963) features fourteen selections of the best science fiction of the Silver Age by the unsung women authors of yesteryear, introduced by today's rising stars: Unhuman Sacrifice (1958) by Katherine MacLean, introduced by Natalie Devitt Wish Upon a Star (1958) by Judith Merril, introduced by Erica Frank A Matter of Proportion (1959) by Anne Walker, introduced by Erica Friedman The White ...
Rediscovery: Science Fiction by Women, Volume 3 (1964-1968)
Surfing the New Wave Containing 19 pieces of fiction, Rediscovery Volume 3 is particularly resonant with pieces like Sonya Dorman’s “The Deepest Blue in the World”, a prototype for The Handmaid’s Tale. And Pam Zoline’s “The Heat Death of the Universe”, which fused the New Wave and feminist science fiction. And Hilary Bailey’s alternate history masterpiece, set in a Nazi-conquered (but not subdued!) England, “The Fall of Frenchy Steiner”. With a host of Afterwords by luminaries from Seanan McGuire to Marie Vibbert, as well as a number by relatives of the authors, Rediscovery Volume 3 will be an indispensable part of every library, whether you’re a casual SF fan or a rarefied scholar!
Kitra
Stranded in space: no fuel, no way home… and no one coming to help. From the pen of Hugo Finalist Gideon Marcus comes the found-family, YA Space Adventure you’ve been waiting for: Nineteen-year-old Kitra Yilmaz dreams of traveling the galaxy like her Ambassador mother. But soaring in her glider is the closest she can get to touching the stars — until she stakes her inheritance on a salvage Navy spaceship. On its shakedown cruise, Kitra’s ship plunges into hyperspace, stranding Kitra and her crew light years away. Tensions rise between Kitra and her shipmates: the handsome programmer, Fareedh; Marta, biologist and Kitra’s ex-girlfriend; Peter, the panicking engineer; and the oddball alien navigator, Pinky. Now, running low on air and food, it’ll take all of them working together to get back home. With illustrations by Hugo Finalist Lorelei Esther.
Encyclopedia of American Short Films, 1926-1959
Short subject films have a long history in American cinemas. These could be anywhere from 2 to 40 minutes long and were used as a "filler" in a picture show that would include a cartoon, a newsreel, possibly a serial and a short before launching into the feature film. Shorts could tackle any topic of interest: an unusual travelogue, a comedy, musical revues, sports, nature or popular vaudeville acts. With the advent of sound-on-film in the mid-to-late 1920s, makers of earlier silent short subjects began experimenting with the short films, using them as a testing ground for the use of sound in feature movies. After the Second World War, and the rising popularity of television, short subject films became far too expensive to produce and they had mostly disappeared from the screens by the late 1950s. This encyclopedia offers comprehensive listings of American short subject films from the 1920s through the 1950s.
Hyvilma

At First Contact
The Fantastical Romances You've Been Searching For... From the pen of Hugo Finalist Janice L. Newman comes a touching trio of novella-length romances in a speculative vein.

Will they discover new life or a new love? Ghosted: Leo is searching for the soul that used to haunt his grandmother's house. Did Will ghost him? A Touch of Magic: What if love and hate could alter the very fabric of existence? The fraught romance of fencer Lawrence and artist Sean just might be helped along by a touch of magic.
Das Science Fiction Jahr 2023
Science Fiction und wie sie die Welten verändert Welches literarische Genre lädt Schreibende wie die Science Fiction dazu ein, sich eine andere als unsere Realität auszumalen, Was-wäre-wenn-Fragen zu stellen, neue Gesellschaftsformen zu denken und Konflikte ohne Gewalt zu lösen? Diverse aktuelle gesellschaftliche und politische Anlässe haben dazu geführt, dass wir genau diesen Themen unsere diesjährigen Schwerpunkte widmen: Alternate History und Pazifismus in der SF, die von Autor*innen wie Judith Vogt, Guido Sprenger oder Maurice Schuhmann beleuchtet werden. Zudem finden Gedanken und Erinnerungen an den wohl prägendsten deutschsprachigen SF-Autor, Herbert W. Franke, der im Juni 202...
