Book Synopsis: Though widely anthologized, the short science-fiction stories of one of the greatest of modern masters in the field have not heretofore been published in a collection in America. Such masterpieces as The Rat and Automata, as Brain and Original Sin, as well as others of S. Fowler Wright's short stories are known only to readers of the magazines and the anthologies in wich they appeared in this country. Now these find tales, together with all the remainder among Wright's stories which are at all fantastic, are collected here for the first time.
"The tales here published include all I have written of this order, of less than volume length, during the past thirty years, which I regard as worth reprinting," writes the author in his foreword to this collection. "Every work of imagination widens the frontiers of reality. It may have no objective reality, but precisely to that extent it adds to creation's sum. Men were; beyond that they built imaginations of things which were not. They may not have imagined facts; but it was a fact that they imagined things which had not been, and may never be."
The author of such great science-fiction novels as Deluge and The World Below, has written in these stories certain tales which are among the best in the genre. No collector of science-fiction tales will want to overlook this unique volume, which complements S. Fowler Wright's remarkable tales.
