1.Girl in the Golden Atom by: Ray Cummings 1973-06
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.00
This is the first book I've purchased in the Bison Frontiers of Imagination series. The entire line aims to bring early science fiction stories, from the very beginning of the genre, to a mass audience. It is a worthy series and I plan on buying more in the future. This book is actually two stories in one, both of which were originally published as serials in the pulp magazine All Story Weekly. The Girl in the Golden Atom was written in 1919 and its sequel, The People in the Golden Atom, in 1920. Needless to say, the science is extremely dated. Luckily, like most pulp stories at the time, the science fiction element is kept to a minimum. The plot is relatively simple. A man, identified only as the Chemist, discovers a microscopic world inside a golden ... Read More

Perhaps the three most popular American scientific romance writers of the 1920s were Edgar Rice Burroughs, A. Merritt, and Ray Cummings. Cummings is generally believed to be the least of the three. He didn't have the imagination of Burroughs or Merritt's sense of color and flamboyance. His style was mechanical and pulpish. His stories repeated themselves and changed very little from the twenties to the late forties. But if his style was mechanical, it was at least adequate for basic storytelling purposes. And Cummings had a better knowledge of science than either Burroughs or Merritt-- he had been an assistant to Thomas Alva Edison for several years. If many of his ideas about the stucture of the atom or the nature of the universe were soon to be considered dated by the ... Read More

4.Tarrano the Conqueror by: Ray Cummings September 23, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $9.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $10.76
Ray Cummings was one of the Golden Age scifi writers who had stories published nearly every month in the pulps. Some of them were great and some were less than great, but that was the same with all of them. Tarrano was one of his greats. It was more a political thriller than a scifi, though, and since it was written in the 1930s, it foreshadowed what was going on in Germany, and I am not the only one who saw quite a bit of Hitler in Tarrano. A wonderful read for anyone, even those who are not too fond of scifi. Cummings was a great writer.

5.Hist Whist by: Cummings, Ray September 23, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.02
In the Halloween thriller hist whist, e. e. cummings' poem is beautifully illustrated into a timeless children's picture book. Amazingly, a single poem comprises this book. While some that are unfamiliar with cummings' style may be confused by his nonsense vocabulary, syntax stretches, and other irregularities, the veteran reader will acknowledge this as yet another wonderful free verse accomplishment of cummings. The alliteration in this poem superiorly extends itself to young audiences. The excited mood created by such phrases as "tip-toe/twinkle-toe" and "eyes rustle and run and/hidehidehide" transport the rushing, dancing reader to through the scary lines. However, this would likely not make the children's book list without the expert watercolor and colored pencil ... Read More
