Book Description
When a man has read, written, edited, and lived science fiction for a full 70 years, as Forrest J Ackerman has, his collection of sci-fi shorts and semi-shorts is certain to contribute to the pleasure of the connoisseur, and more than delight the relative newcomer to modern literature's hottest field. Herein are timeless tales of aliens, robots, spacemen, future societies, extraordinary experiments, intergalactic love, dinosaurs, and other dimensions -- written with the humor, the horror, the suspense, and the denouements developed by the undisputed geniuses of the twist in the tale, from Bradbury, Wells, and Asimov to lesser-known masters of the trade. Ackerman's following is legion, and readers worldwide, old and new, will revel in every extraordinary page. Book jacket.

Book Description
Sci-Fi Shorts is a collection of eight Science Fiction stories. They have been previously published in several of my books containing short stories of mixed genres. They are reissued in this volume to appeal to those readers who, like myself, prefer to read Science Fiction stories, as opposed to the collections generally containing a mix of Science Fiction and Fantasy, masquerading as Science Fiction.
