Requirements: .PDF reader, 16.2Mb
Overview: This volume was compiled to fill a gap in the library of reference works currently available in the field of fantastic literature. Although the contents of science fiction, fantasy and weird fiction magazines have been partially indexed by Donald B. Day for the 1926-1950 period, by Norm Metcalf for the 1951-1965 period, and by the New England Science Fiction Association from 1966 to the present, no guide as comprehensive in scope as this has ever been published.
This volume gives full coverage of the pulp age of science fiction and fantasy, beginning with the general pulp magazines such as Argosy, which was first published in 1882 and regularly included science fiction and fantasy, through the decades of specialist pulp titles that began with the publication of Weird Tales in 1923, up to the contemporary pulps of the early 1980s. It was during the pulp era (roughly from 1926 until the early 1950s) that fantastic literature separated itself from the mainstream of publishing. A long line of specialist pulp titles appeared that were to remain virtually the only outlet for science fiction and fantasy writers during this period. A knowledge of that era is crucial to an understanding of the history of this literature.
