(4.4 stars; 71 reviews)

Science Fiction is speculative literature that generally explores the consequences of ideas which are roughly consistent with nature and scientific method, but are not facts of the author’s contemporary world. The stories often represent philosophical thought experiments presented in entertaining ways. Protagonists typically “think” rather than “shoot” their way out of problems, but the definition is flexible because there are no limits on an author’s imagination. The reader-selected stories presented here were written prior to 1962 and became US public domain texts when their copyrights expired. (Summary by Gregg Margarite) (6 hr 45 min)

My boy Frank was putting in WORK


(5 stars)

I'm not sure if Frank has been a contributor on past volumes, but he stole the spotlight for volume 42. If this is his debut, he came out swinging. He just kept going! all of them bangers. An above average selection of stories.

one of the better collections


(4 stars)

Some interesting stories, sci-fi meets gothic horror on some occasions. Frank Malanga is a great reader and makes this collection very listenable.
