Produktinformationen zu „Honeymoon in Hell / The Galaxy Project (ePub)“
A groundbreaking science fiction novelette from the early days of Galaxy magazine-plus a new foreword by Paul Di Filippo.
Appearing in the second issue of Galaxy dated November 1950, Honeymoon in Hell showcased the magazine's distinctive identity as opposed to other publications of its time-darker, more socially aware, sometimes sexually frank in ways that were shocking for the era. Dealing with copulation and its desired consequences, Honeymoon in Hell avoided euphemisms-and used a satirical attack that parodied magazine taboos.
The covers of pulp magazines depicted monsters putting near-naked females in peril, but the narratives under the cover offered no equivalent. Brown's hastily married couple, sent to the moon to see if they can breed a male child-all births on Earth over recent months having been female-encounter problems emotional as well as practical. This book includes both the landmark novelette and a new foreword by Paul Di Filippo.

Autoren-Porträt von Fredric Brown
Fredric Brown (1906-1972) was an American sci-fi and mystery writer, renowned for his pioneering work in the "short-short" genre. His truncated stories, rarely more than three pages long, often had surprise endings and highly inventive twists. One of his best-known tales, "Arena," inspired an episode of Star Trek by the same name.Brown also wrote a number of full-length novels, including What Mad Universe, The Lights in the Sky are Stars, and Martians, Go Home. Many of his novels were satires of the genre, full of unexpected humor and razor-sharp observational wit. Brown's first novel, The Fabulous Clipjoint, was awarded the Edgar Award. His novel The Screaming Mimi was adapted into a movie starring Gypsy Rose Lee and Anita Ekberg.
