I love the subtle chaos in this Rosey Cricket ( roseycricket.com ) D20! I have been designing some retro-future stuff for another project (forthcoming) and, was inspired to make this quick mini-reliquary for it.

Laurence Manning's 1935 scifi novel World of the Mist attempts to probe the fringes of human knowledge of how the universe works, especially the existence of other dimensions and other universes, based on the state of knowledge in 1935.

It gets seriously weird, and it's pretty good.

Neutron Star is a 1968 short story collection which contains some of Larry Niven’s earliest Known Space Stories.

A good introduction to the Known Space tales. There’s a strong hard SF element, there are touches of humour and there’s danger and adventure.

Old-fashioned high-concept hard SF but with plenty of characteristic Larry Niven touches. Great stuff.

Jules Lermina’s Panic in Paris was published in 1913. It’s a French scientific romance.

Translator Brian Stableford describes it as being closer in feel to 1950s Japanese monster movies than to the more sober scientific romances of Lermina’s contemporaries. In fact it's a madcap tongue-in-cheek romp. There are even dinosaurs in 19th century Paris.

News from the Moon, edited by Brian Stableford, a collection of nine French 19th century “proto-science fiction tales”. Many won’t fit most people’s ideas of what constitutes scifi but that’s Stableford’s point - there was a distinctive school of French speculative fiction at that time that differed from the contemporary scientific romances of British authors.

The stories are unconventional but stimulating.
