"Through detailed research and exclusive interviews, Eric Leif Davin takes readers back to the 1920s and 1930s, when Hugo Gernsback, the "father of science fiction," founded the world's first science fiction magazine, Amazing Stories. Davin recaptures the "sense of wonder" that the early science fiction stories inspired in the minds of its first avid fans."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description

Long before Ray Bradbury, Arthur C Clarke, Gene Roddenberry, and Chris Carter, the names of David Lasser, Stanley G. Weinbaum, Hugo Gernsback, and Sam Moskowitz were well known by the first fans of a new kind of fiction. These pioneers were among the visionary individuals who launched the science fiction genre, which today enjoys such wide appeal. Through exclusive interviews, Eric Leif Davin takes readers back to the late 1920s, when Gernsback, "the father of science fiction", founded the world's first science fiction magazine, "Amazing Stories".
