"The Lost Masters Volume 2A" - читать интересную книгу автора (Morrison William)

In the days of the pulp magazines of the 1930's, 1940's and 1950's there were
many gems of SF published that somehow were never anthologized or reprinted. The
Lost Masters series is an attempt to provide SF fans with a taste of the roots
of this genre, a hint of the heady days of pulp and booming mass markets that
provided the background for some of the best stories ever written.
William Morrison is a pseudonym for Joseph Samachson, who also wrote non-fiction
under his own name. Very few of his stories were ever anthologized, even though
there are many gems among his work. There are a lot of potboilers among his work
too. For a brief outline of his life, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Samachson.
Morrison symbolizes the SF writers of the 50's to meЕable to craft beautiful
stories, but also writing to make money. Alas, this volume does not contain his
complete works; only a third of his stories are collected here (29 stories, two
essays, and one novel. If anyone has copies of any stories not collected here,
please contact me at [email protected]. I'd like to collect the rest of
these stories). One of his novels, Mel Oliver and Space Rover on Mars is here,
but be warned that it was written for the juvenile market. Volume 2B will
contain as many of the rest as I am able to find and scan, but for now
experience the pulp writing of this lost master.

Bibliography of Joseph Samachson writing as William Morrison

I make no claims about the completeness of this bibliography (In fact, I am
almost certain it is incomplete). It as was collected from many internet and
non-internet sources, and is as complete as I could make it. I included it here
because there is no comprehensive list of his works anywhere that I could find.
Joseph Samachson also wrote several non-fiction books by himself and with his
wife Dorothy, and several graphic novels which are not listed here.
