Bug-Eyed Monsters (1980) Anthology by Bill Pronzini; Barry N. Malzberg
Requirements: ePUB reader, 4.4MB
Overview: … Now and then during the past twenty years, a nostalgic editor or unreconstructed art director would feature a BEM for old times’ sake, usually in a humorous vein. But in those two decades science fiction as a whole became a Sophisticated Literary Medium… Bug-Eyed Monsters, it has been said, are like the dreams of childhood: no one can take them seriously anymore; they can only be mocked or evoked in deprecation. Apocalypse is the ticket now—that, and the outposts of science.
It was more fun, however, in the old days.
And it is in the spirit of fun—a harkening back to those more innocent days when BEMs menaced the girls in the brass brassieres—that Bill Pronzini and Barry N. Malzberg present this anthology. Which is not to imply that the stories here are old-fashioned or undistinguished; indeed, they are some of the best and most entertaining to be found in the field, offering a wide variety of approaches to and variations on the BEM theme.
