now-famous authors at the start of their careers."

Robert Silverberg has assembled a collection of
14 stories from Super-Science Fiction. S-SF
was launched during the sf boom of the mid-1950s.
Paying a princely rate of 2 cents a word the
magazine attracted fiction by Isaac Asimov,
Robert Bloch, Harlan Ellison. James Gunn,
Jack Vance, and Donald Westlake, and
featured cover art by Frank Kelly Freas
and Ed Emshwiller. Running for 18
bi-monthly issues (Dec ‘55 to Oct ‘59),
the magazine eventually devolved into
a publication capitalizing on the t
hen-current craze of “monster” stories.

Editor Silverberg traces the genesis
ofSuper-Science Fiction from it’s
beginnings as an outlet for numerous
colonization/expedition stories to its
conclusion with such stories as
“Creatures of the Green Slime,”
“Beasts of Nightmare Horror”
and “Vampires from Outer Space.”

Am I the only one who would rather read "Vampires from Outer Space" or "Creatures from the Green Slime" than 99.9 percent of everything on the SF shelves at Barnes & Noble today?
