A collection of twenty-one previously unpublished short stories by Arthur Porges, dating from the 1930s and 1940s. The stories in this volume, compiled from Porges’ original manuscripts, cover a wide range of themes and genres. This fascinating book gathers together a varied selection of stories that chronicle a young author developing and learning his craft in the years preceding his first professional sale. |
The first book in a two-volume collection of essays, the majority of which originally appeared from 1986 to 1989 in The Monterey County Herald newspaper, while others are published here for the first time. This first volume contains a number of memoirs wherein Porges reflects candidly on various incidents from his long life, including several from his childhood in Chicago as well as recollections of the challenges he faced while serving in the U.S. Army during the World War Two. Other essays assembled in this book reveal the author’s love of literature and among these are appreciations of some of his favorite authors, such as H. Rider Haggard and H. H. Munro. |
This long-awaited volume in the series of Arthur Porges collections assembles sixteen “impossible crime” stories featuring the wheelchair-bound crime consultant Cyriack Skinner Grey. Thirteen of the tales included in this book have been reproduced from 1960s and ’70s issues of Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine and Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine while the remaining three stories are published here for the first time. |
This book collection of Arthur Porges’ stories collects twenty-three outstanding fantasy tales. Many of these stories have never been reprinted since their original somewhat ephemeral appearances in magazines. Featuring classic stories such as “One Bad Habit,” “Mop-Up” and the unforgettable title story, this landmark collection will be a welcome addition to the bookshelf of every Porges fan. Also included in this volume are four previously unpublished stories. |
|
The second volume in an ongoing series of books, this collection gathers together twenty-four stories drawn from the full span of Porges’ fifty-year writing career. The wide variety of themes and genres on display in this landmark collection illustrate the versatility of an author on the top of his form. This book includes several previously unpublished stories, in addition to such classic tales as “Masterpiece,” “Stalemate” and “The Black Tyrant,” which have never been reprinted since their original publication in magazines. |
The “locked room” mystery stories featuring the pathologist-sleuth Dr. Joel Hoffman are a favourite among Porges fans. All six of the Hoffman stories, which were originally published in Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine, have now been assembled here in one volume. This collection includes two stories that have never been reprinted since their original publication in the early 1960s. |
A collection of thirteen noirish crime and mystery tales dating from the 1960s by a writer better-known for his ingenious “locked room” puzzle stories. Murders, unexplained suicides, mysterious disappearances, revenge and blackmail all feature in this landmark collection of stories written in a notably darker tone than is usual for Porges. The stories assembled in this book were originally published in magazines such as Bestseller Mystery Magazine, Fling, The London Mystery Selection and Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine. |
The second volume in a two-part collection of Arthur Porges’ science fiction stories. The Rescuer and Other Science Fiction Stories cover the 1960s period, a particularly prolific era in the author’s career. Drawn from the pages of Amazing Stories, Galaxy, Fantastic and other magazines, the stories assembled in this book showcase some of Porges’ most accomplished work in the field of science fiction. Highlights include “A Specimen for the Queen” (a sequel to “The Ruum” which is reprinted here for the first time ever), the provocative title story, poignant pieces such as “Priceless Possession” and “Irresistible Attraction” and the wildly imaginative “Degree Candidate.” Also included is the previously unpublished story “Doomsday Incident”. |
The first volume in a two-part collection of Arthur Porges’ science fiction stories. The Ruum and Other Science Fiction Stories covers the 1950s period, when Porges was writing some of his best-ever science fiction tales. Featured in this book are stories reprinted from the pages of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction; among these are “The Rats,” “Story Conference” and “The Fly”. As well as the title story, which surely needs no introduction, another highlight is “The Mannering Report,” which is published here for the first time. |
A collection of fifty-nine poems, written by the author across many years. The majority of the poems assembled in this volume were originally published in The Monterey County Herald and other periodicals local to where Porges lived in the last few decades of his life. This book includes a varied selection of verses, encompassing poignant reflections on old age, bereavement and the loss of innocence, to more quirky and esoteric meditations concerning fate, mythology, the natural world and the inexorable passage of time. |
This volume assembles in book form for the first time the eleven stories featuring the armchair criminologist Professor Ulysses Price Middlebie. These crime stories, originally published between 1962 and 1975, involve murders, attempted murders, thefts and arson and are all written in the tradition of the “impossible crime” mystery genre. Several of the stories in this collection have never been reprinted since their initial appearances in magazines and newspapers such as Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine and The Los Angeles Times. |
|
The “Unusual Plants of the Galaxy” series of science fiction vignettes was first published in an obscure, now defunct periodical based in Mendocino County, California called Memo in the mid-1990s. In these seven intriguing and rare pieces, assembled here in book form for the first time, Porges imagines with fascinating detail and invention various imaginary plants that may exist on other worlds throughout the galaxy. |
