Books Update: SF Anthologies
*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: A selection of single-author SF anthologies are added to the bookshelves this week. They include a two part autobiographical collection from Lester Del Rey, works by Asimov, Bradbury, Heinlein, Pohl and Sturgeon as well as a wonderfull collection by the too-often overlooked Alfred Bester. The Best of John W Campbell showcases five works by the man who mentored many burgeoning talents, and includes ‘Who Goes There?’, the highly influential novella that inspired four films (Howard Hawks’ 1951 original ‘The Thing From Another World’, ‘Horror Express (1972), John Carpenter’s 1982 version ‘The Thing’ and its 2011 prequel of the same name), an episode of the X-Files (Ice), other television episodes, a story with the alien’s version of events and even a gamebook.
