Venture Science Fiction: The Complete Fiction Anthology by Various Authors (ed. Jerry eBooks 2021)
Requirements: ePUB reader, 7.8Mb
Overview: Venture Science Fiction was a digest-size science fiction magazine, first published from 1957 to 1958, and revived for a brief run in 1969 and 1970. It was founded in both instances as a companion to The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.
The original version was only moderately successful, although it is remembered for the first publication of “Sturgeon’s Law” (an adage stating “ninety percent of everything is crap.”). The publisher, Joseph Ferman, declared that he wanted well-told stories of action and adventure; the resulting fiction contained more sex and violence than was usual for the science fiction genre in the late 1950s. It succumbed to poor sales within less than two years. The second version was no more successful, with less attractive cover art and little in the way of notable fiction. By the end of 1970, Venture Science Fiction had ceased publication permanently.
