Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Glendale, CA: (Science-Fiction Advertiser), 1952. Volume V, No. 6, the March, 1952 issue of Science-Fiction Advertiser; this is the new name and (somewhat) new, longer form of the earlier incarnation, Fantasy Advertiser fanzine. Roy Squires had long since taken over editing from Norman "Gus" Wilmorth by this time, and wasn't far from bringing it into its heyday. Though longer and a bit richer, at this time the fanzine was still focused on book reviews and ads, and apart from Morris Scott Dollens carried little in the way of interior art and virtually no fiction.yet. Even the reviews, essays and articles gave precious little credit to the writers, who were often the editor or his assistants. None of that would last.Cover is by Dollens, and there are small pieces by Neil Austin and Jon Arfstrom inside as well. Octavo, stapled wraps, 45 pages. Near Fine copy, with only the inevitable modest toning to the paper (see scans). High grade. Very sharp, undamaged copy. An early example of the uniquely American sci-fi / fantasy fanzine genre. One or two interesting articles per issue - in this case Arthur J. Cox's "Deux Ex Machina - A Study of A.E. Van Vogt" and Carolyn Gaybard's "In Defense of Space Opera" - and some rare illustrations, but still, to this point, largely book reviews, ads and a bit of opinion. See scan of contents page for this issue's offerings. Nicely executed book reviews. A classic issue from a fanzine classic from the golden age of sci-fi with all its special genres; replete with the detailed trappings of that world - Science fiction, fantasy and horror, of course. But mostly the sci-fi. Very scarce under this name, the second of three. For the collector. L-pr2. Morris Scott Dollens, Neil Austin, Jon Arfstrom (illustrator).…

Stapled Wraps. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. New York: Ronald L. Smith, 1955. First edition. May, 1955 / issue number 9 under the name Inside and Science Fiction Advertiser (which is the last name for the famed sci-fi / fantasy fanzine, which was also published under the earlier names "Fantasy Advertiser" and "Science Fiction Advertiser", though the primary focus was always Science Fiction).

Limited edition, limited to 150 numbered copies, this being number 25. Signed by editor Stephen Jones, illustrators Jon Arfstrom and Andrew Smith, and contributors Nancy Holder, Nancy Kilpatrick, Tom Monteleone, Kim Newman, and Peter Straub on the limitation page. Charles L. Grant (1942-2006) was one of the most influential and distinctive voices in American horror fiction of the late twentieth century, celebrated in particular for pioneering what became known as "quiet horror" — a mode that eschewed graphic violence and shock in favour of a slow, atmospheric accumulation of dread, most often grounded in ordinary domestic settings and the quiet, unresolved grief of characters who have lost someone or something irreplaceable. A three-time World Fantasy Award and two-time Nebula Award winner, Grant was named a Grand Master by the World Horror Convention in 2002 and received the Horror Writers Association's Lifetime Achievement Award, cementing his standing as one of the genre's most respected craftsmen even as his relatively understated approach kept him from the wider commercial recognition achieved by some louder contemporaries. Scream Quietly, assembled by his friend and fellow anthologist Stephen Jones following Grant's death in 2006, gathers more than thirty stories and novellas spanning his nearly four-decade career, and stands, in the assessment of reviewers, as "the definitive edition of Charles L. Grant's short fiction." Fine in near fine slipcase. Volume presents like new, pristine condition. Slipcase shows some very mild shelf markings, else free from imperfections.
