I have a lot to do today, so naturally I’m taking to social media with the purpose of discussing something ridiculous: science fiction’s obsession with putting scantily clad (or even nekkid!!) women in glass containers. 1/6

Henry Kuttner's Crypt-City of the Deathless One, a sci-fi novella published in Planet Stories in 1943.

A lost world story, with killer plants and zombies, a deadly plague and a man haunted by his past.

Clever and exciting. Hugely enjoyable.

Leigh Brackett’s 1949 novella Enchantress of Venus introduced her most famous series character, Eric John Stark. A fairly typical sword-and-planet adventure but a well-crafted example of the breed. There’s a genuine sense of evil, and of decadence. There’s also a decidedly bleak and tragic edge to the tale.
