"Get him to tell you about this invisible playmate of his." A completely bizarre grindhouse classic from Weird Tales, Vol. 43, No. 3, March 1951. Colonel Hampton sipped his whiskey slowly, then puffed on his cigar. "No, this pair were competent liars," he replied. "A good workmanlike liar never makes up a story out of the whole cloth; he always takes a fabric of truth and embroiders it to suit the situation." He smiled grimly; that was an accurate description of his own tactical procedure at the moment. "I hadn\'t intended this to come out, Doctor, but it happens that I am a convinced believer in spiritualism. I suppose you\'ll think that\'s a delusional belief, too?" "Well...." Doctor Vehrner pursed his lips. "I reject the idea of survival after death, myself, but I think that people who believe in such a theory are merely misevaluating evidence. It is definitely not, in itself, a symptom of a psychotic condition." Views: 571

Author Bryan Cohen has watched every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and it shows in the first book of his new series.Q & A with the AuthorQ - How would you describe the Ted Saves the World series?A - That's a stumper! I've always loved reading books and watching TV shows that mix genres together. It's like a buffet. How can you choose just one? Ted Saves the World is a combination of several different genres. It has the elements of a YA sci-fi fantasy series, but you might also call it a collection of paranormal books for teens and young adults. I've always loved horror books for teens and coming of age series best sellers as well, so you'll find a few dashes of each in the series too.Q - Why did you want to write superhero novels?A - I love challenges. Every year, I try to take on something new. I'd written some nonfiction, but I wanted to try writing young adult books for boys and girls alike. That's why it was important for me to write super-powered male and female characters. Also, given the recent boom of Marvel superheroes on the big screen, I wanted to take my own crack at the genre.Q - What does it mean to you when readers buy your books?A - It's an honor. Who knows if I'll ever be one of the young adult best sellers at the top of the list, but it's so amazing to see people reading my books. Like most writers, I used to think I wasn't good enough, so I didn't try. With the encouragement of my friends, family members, and readers, I was able to give this series a go. I'm eternally grateful for each reader who puts my books on their virtual shelf.Ted Saves the World YA Sci-Fi Fantasy Series eBook Categories:- Superhero Novels- YA Sci-Fi Fantasy Series- Paranormal Books for Teens and Young Adults- Young Adult Best Sellers- Horror Books for Teens- Coming of Age Series Best Sellers- Young Adult Books for Boys Views: 571

World Of The Drone appeared in the January 1955 issue of Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy. Dworn knew that if his machine failed him in battle he would die. For men fought each other viciously, with no bond of brotherhood, in this—World Of The Drone. The beetle woke from a dreamless sleep, yawned, stretched cramped limbs and smiled to himself. In the west the sunset\'s last glow faded. Stars sprang out in the clear desert sky, dimmed only by the white moon that rose full and brilliant above the eastern horizon. Views: 570
