Book Description
ECPA 2020 Christian Book Award Finalist! You wouldn’t believe it, but . . . James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader, grew up mute. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. Albert Einstein was bullied mercilessly in school. Beethoven’s mom almost aborted him. Life takes the strangest sharp turns—and sometimes, U-turns. Robert Petterson—popular speaker, storyteller, and author—has been a student for his entire life of what God is teaching us through those real-life U-turns. In this book, he compiles 365 amazing stories that teach lessons you won’t easily forget. Each entry is written in the rest-of-the-story style popularized by Paul Harvey. With The One Year Book of Amazing Stories, you’ll marvel at how God has used the lives of these ordinary people to change the course of human history.

Book Description
1928 was Amazing Stories third year and the best yet for a magazine that was improving with leaps and bounds each issue. This best of the year compilation is headlined by Jack Williamson, Edmond Hamilton, Clare Winter Harris, David H. Keller MD, Miles J. Breuer MD, and other greats of early science fiction. Plus stunning illustrations by the pioneer and genius of science fiction art, Frank R. Paul. Here you will find Comet Doom, a feature novel and intergalactic extravaganza, by a man who was already one of science fiction's leading stars, Edmond Hamilton (which concludes this anthology). Plus The Revolt of the Pedestrians," the first story by David H. Keller, M.D. (a psychiatrist specializing in abnormal psychology with a correspondingly dyspeptic view of life), who followed it up with over 100 more stories and a dozen novels of exceptional quality, if decidedly conservative viewpoint. Also the brilliant (top honors in the Haverford College intelligence test and an Edison Scholarship finalist) Charles Cloukey's initial offering, "Sub-Satellite," the first story to investigate the question of what would happen to a bullet fired in the Moon's lighter gravity (and the first of only nine superior stories he would pen before typhoid cut his life tragically short at twenty). And, Clare Winger Harris' "The Miracle of the Lily," a double-edged tale of the reintroduction of plant life onto a future Earth sterilized by ecological disaster, which established Harris as an indisputably better sf writer than most of her male colleagues; Harold Donitz's architectural utopia, "A Visitor from the Twentieth Century"; "The Metal Man," first story by Jack Williamson, a thought provoking, Merrittesque tale of crystalline and metallic life; Miles J. Breuer's imaginative fourth-dimensional jape, 'The Appendix and the Spectacles"; and Edwin K. Sloat's "Flight to Venus," a curiously affecting tale which focuses more on psychological and cultural reactions to the adventure than the adventure itself (Bleiler terms it, "intelligent, with amusing touches"). These stories helped shape science fiction and provided hours of thought-provoking reading for the fans of the era. We believe they will do the same for readers of today.

Book Description
On the seventh day, the Flying Spaghetti Monster said, "Read me, for I am good." In Amazing Stories, the Flying Spaghetti Monster goes on trial to earn his godhood among a council of deities that includes Jehovah, the Buddha, Ganesh, Cthulhu, and Charlie Sheen. He is interviewed for an exclusive episode of the celebrity talk show In the Monster's Studio to discuss his relationship with Godzilla and other famous monsters. He rears his head at an archeological dig in a desert wasteland and dines with a horde of food demons in Hell. He rescues pirates, authors, and prisoners from the cold hand of death while banishing children to suffering and starvation. He is a just god, but only if you compliment his vodka sauce. Like an all-spaghetti evening of Adult Swim, Amazing Stories of the Flying Spaghetti Monster will show you the many realms of His Noodly Appendage. Learn of those who worship him and the lives he touches in distant, mysterious ways. Enjoy with Italian food and a side of Darwinism.

Book Description
"A delightful find ... anthology series that attempts to collect the early days of perhaps the greatest SF magazine, Amazing Stories, the Grand Old Lady of the pulps. The editors also include the interior illustrations, including work by Frank R. Paul and F. S. Hynd." -Black Gate magazineThe newest volume of this widely-acclaimed anthology series showcases memorable stories from the pens of the era's most celebrated authors:Clare Winger Harris and Miles J. Breuer, MD, give birth to "A Baby on Neptune," a tale whose conceptualization and execution had no parallel until Cyril Kornbluth and Judith Merril's 1951 Mars Child (AKA Outpost Mars).Miles J. Breuer, MD presents one of his patented mind-stretchers, "The Captured Cross-Section," which manages to combine science, adventure and romance without even straining.G. Peyton Wertenbaker takes us into "The Chamber of Life," possibly the first ever tale of virtual reality, which sf critic Sam Moskowitz cited for its "stylistic finish, sophistication and subtlety".Bob Olsen's "The Superperfect Bride," opens new directions in scifi, depicting nudity and arousal for the first time in a science fiction magazine while grappling with questions of identity and humanity. (Sf historian E. F. Bleiler cite it for an "almost surreal in its eroticism.")David H. Keller, MD displays and adroit mastery of the scientific horror yarn in "The Worm", which proves him every bit the equal of H. P. Lovecraft, whose "the Colour Out of Space," had appeared in Amazing two years earlier.Louise Taylor Hansen (an author of books popularizing anthropology and geology) defied gender expectations with a rigorous scientific adventure puzzle, "The Undersea Tube", the spellbinding story of marine disaster in a future where the continents are connected by tubes bored beneath the world's oceans. (The story comes complete with Hansen's own plan and section drawings.)Wallace West offers "The Last Man," focusing on the euphonious character's fate in an all-female society produced through pathogenesis.A Hyatt Verrill hits the heights with "Vampires of the Desert," which Bleiler ranked as "Verrill's best story."Captain S. P. Meek gives readers a true classic in "Futility", a story Bleiler says is "arguably Meek's best," dealing with a computer so advanced it can forecast anyone's date of death (which may well have been the genesis of Robert A. Heinlein's first published story, "Lifeline").Plus all the original illustrations and editorial blurbs for each story, and a fascinating, informative Introduction surveying Amazing Stories 1929.
