When it comes to fantasy and science fiction, weâve achieved an appealing balance. Adrian Cole and Henry S. Whitehead deliver two distinctly different nautically-themed stories. Also featured is Robert E. Howardâs eerie tale, âThe Dream Snake.â (The Whitehead and Howard pieces originated from Weird Tales, and Coleâs work could easily have found a home within its pages.) Complementing the mix are science fiction stories by Arthur Leo Zagat and Russ Winterbotham, both prolific during the Golden Age.
