Fabian. appendix. science fiction. short stories. american literature. ~ Widely celebrated for his contributions to the weird fiction field~as author, editor and especially, co~founder in 1939 of Arkham House~August Derleth was also one of the earliest proponents of science fiction as a literary genre in its own right. And to make the case, over a seven~year period just after World War II, beginning with the critically praised Strange Ports of Call (1948), he edited nine discriminating sf anthologies~each of which effectively demonstrated that science fiction had long ago transcended its "pulp~ghetto" origins and merited both a wider audience and informed critical attention. Following which, in the early '60's, he announced plans for yet another sf anthology, New Horizons, even getting so far as to select most of its contents, though he was unable to see it into print before his untimely death in 1971. Now, as a special tribute to its founder's efforts on behalf of science fiction, Arkham House~currently celebrating its 60th Anniversary year~brings you its first sf anthology and Derleth's last (newly completed by Joseph Wrzos, a former editor of Amazing Stories). The contents of New Horizons clearly reflect some of the editor's early preferences and taste in pulp sf, even some of his favorite subjects and writers, selected primarily from the pages of now historic golden Age pulps like Hugo Gemsback's Amazing Stories, and Astounding Stories, when the latter was edited, first, by F Orlin ("thought~variant") Tremaine and, subsequently, by John W. ("Don A Stuart") Campbel], Jr. And for good measure, since Derleth himself often included some "new" fiction in his reprint sf anthologies, it's only fitting that a few heretofore unpublished tales also be added to New Horizons, stories akin to those he himself might have chosen. Such as David H. Keller and Paul Spencer's "The Purblind Prophet," a "Taine of San Francisco" story, in which the diminutive private eye takes on his most impossible case yet : how to change a "fixed" future in order to save a client's ladylove from certain death! As well as the newly discovered, never~before~published "Countries in the Sea," a tale of Atlantean global menace, written by Derleth himself and his lifelong friend Mark Scharer, in the early days when both writers, still young, had just eagerly set out on the perilous road to literary fame, if not to fortune.
