| 2. | The Thing From Outer Space Campbell, John W.
Tandem Press 1966 Paperback Good; "There are two John W. Campbells. It pays to know both of them. The Campbell who edits ANALOG magazine (Science Fact Science Fiction) has been well described as 'the man who drives minds to the end of their tether.' Month after month he turns out thought-provoking editorials with such titles as 'Rape as an evolutionary mechanism', 'How to handle a mob’ and 'Is barbarism genetically inherited’ The other John Campbell, under his own name and that of Don A. Stuart, brought science-fiction out of the field of pulp magazines fiction and into that of literature. He prepared the field for such writers as Asimov, de Camp and Heinlein. Tales such as 'Who goes there?' 'Cloak of Aesir' and 'Forgetfulness' were of a different calibre to their predecessors. They dealt, not just with gimmicks, but with the eternals of life: the power of dreams, the undying hate of one kind of life for another, the nature of justice, the deaths of cities, the ways of men and women.This is the first time that this brilliant collection of stories by the master of science-fiction has appeared in paperback."
