Astounding Stories of Super-Science, June, 1930
Various
Science fiction -- Periodicals; Science fiction, American -- Periodicals
Are you planning on any reprints? I would like to see some
reprints of Ray Cummings', A. Merritt's, H. G. Wells',
Garret Smith's and George A. England's stories soon.
"Phantoms of Reality," "The Beetle Horde," "The Cave of
Horror," "Into Space," "Creatures of the Light," and "Old
Crompton's Secret" were splendid.
I hope for fewer detective stories and no horror
stories.--Joe Stone, 123 20th Street, Toledo, Ohio.
_We Liked It, Too!_
Dear Editor:
Just a line to tell you that I bought my first copy of
Astounding Stories and they certainly are good, especially
"Creatures of the Light," by Sophie Wenzel Ellis. It's the
best short story I've read in ages. I hope to read more by
her in the future. Yours for success.--F. J. Michaslow,
Battery "D," Ft. Hancock, N. J.
"_Strikes a Mystic Chord_"
Dear Editor:
I think that your Astounding Story Magazine is a fine
magazine. It seems to strike a mystic cord within me and
makes me respond to it.
One thing lacking--I believe, that is--a department for
letters from your readers.
"Spawn of the Stars" is certainly a fine scientific story.
I wish that the author of "Into Space" would write a sequel
to his story.--Ronald Bainbridge, Rockford, Illinois.
_We're Avoiding Reprints_
Dear Editor:
I am writing again about Astounding Stories. It seems more
people are interested in science to-day than ever before,
and an easy and interesting way to gain this knowledge is
through reading an entertaining science story.
Regarding stories in your February issue, will list them
according to my likes and dislikes. "Into Space" and "Mad
Music" contained science maybe not impossible in the future.
"Spawn of the Stars," "The Beetle Horde," "Creatures of the
Light," "The Thief of Time" and "Old Compton's Secret" were
very interesting science, and good reading, but "The Corpse
on the Grating" did not appeal to me.
I like interplanetary stories and stories of what might be
on other planets.
I notice some familiar names among your authors. Why not
print some (not too many) stories from H. G. Wells, E. R.
Burroughs and Jules Verne? Some of their stories which were
considered just wild dreams of the author at the time of
writing have actually become a reality, as, for instance,
the submarine. If you keep on as you started or improve I
can see only success--C. E. Anderson, 3504 Colfax Avenue
South, Minneapolis, Minn.
_A Few Favorites_
Dear Editor:
I am an electrical engineer. I read the last two issues of
your magazine. I liked it very much. It is thrilling and
very well edited. I will buy it regularly.
