โฆ Synopsis
Homer Eon Flint was one of the pioneers of science fiction -- publishing science fiction stories in pulp magazines before the term "science fiction" had even been coined. Unfortunately, he died violently -- and mysteriously -- at age 36, leaving behind a grieving widow and three young children. Prior to his shocking end in 1924, Homer's speculative fiction made him a leading contributor to the era's top pulp magazines. Hundreds of thousands of readers thrilled to his tales of life beyond Earth as well as his mysteries, humor, and even horror. Many of the short stories in this volume, plus the short novel "The Planeteer," were unpublished during Homer Eon Flint's lifetime. We are thankful to Vella Munn for allowing us to publish them alongside his more famous pulp novels and stories. Here, then, are 22 classic works plus Vella Munn's biography of her grandfather. For anyone interested in the roots of science fiction, this is a must-have volume!
