Beyond Human Ken: 21 Startling Stories of Science Fiction and Fantasy by Judith Merril
Requirements: .PDF reader, 18 mb
Overview: Maybe you’re used to finding angels in the barnyard and pixies in the birdcage . . . maybe you know how to conduct a conversation with a disembodied brain or a mutated superdog . . . perhaps you’re familiar with the feelings of telepaths and werewolves, and you already understand the psychology of a sea-mine or of the native teddy bears of Venus …
But even then, you’ve covered only half the possibilities in this startling collection of science and fantasy fiction. Chances are, you still haven’t come across the potent field of a hypnotic jungle, or fought giant beetles in the foxholes of Mars, and it’s a sure bet you don’t know where the old robots go to die.
Here is a new and really different compilation of stories, ranging from the most serious-minded of scientific fiction to the lightest-hearted fantasy. They have in common just three characteristics: none has ever before been anthologized; they all deal with other possible forms of intelligent life; and every one of them is a first-rate piece of fiction, regardless of the label you put on it.
