Belletristik / Science Fiction
Beschreibung
A supremely entertaining selection of speculative short fiction from the author of Rocket to the Morgue and ';The Quest for Saint Aquin.' Anthony Boucher was a literary renaissance man: an Edgar Awardwinning mystery reviewer, an esteemed editor of the Hugo Awardwinning Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, a prolific scriptwriter of radio mystery programs, and an accomplished writer of mystery, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. With a particular fondness for the locked room mystery, Boucher created such iconic sleuths as Los Angeles PI Fergus O'Breen, amateur sleuth Sister Ursula, and alcoholic ex-cop Nick Noble. In ';The Anomaly of the Empty Man,' a man seems to have vanished without ever exiting a room, leaving only his clothes behind. In ';Balaam,' a priest and a rabbi go to Mars. Near the desert town of Oasis in the terrifying ';They Bite,' you must be weary of what lurks in the corner of your eye. Private investigator Fergus O'Breen has a case involving a time machine and a locked room murder in ';Elsewhen.' And a history professor uses time travel to fiddle with a presidential election in ';The Other Inauguration.' In these and half a dozen other mind-blowing short stories, Boucher deftly combines science fiction, fantasy, mystery, and horror.
