Lester Del Rey’s 1950 novel When the World Tottered combines ancient mythology with sci-fi (it's definitely sci-fi not fantasy). In the near future a farmer meets a valkyrie and ends up in Asgard. Action-packed and imaginative. Recommended.

Lester Del Rey’s 1952 sci-fi novella Pursuit is all about fear.

Wilbur doesn't remember the past seven months of his life. All he knows is that someone is out to get him. Someone with a heat ray.

Del Rey makes us wait until very near the end before giving us the big reveal, and it's pretty satisfying.

A nifty little tale, tightly constructed, fast-moving with genuine existential terror.
