1950s-’60s Classic Sci-Fi with GREMMIE’S REEF: Sunday June 8, Boise B&N 2-4
At the Boise Barnes and Noble, Sunday June 8, 2PM-4PM:
Time-travel back to the golden age of science fiction with GREMMIE’S REEF: Classic Sci-Fi Short Stories from the 1950s & 1960s, via author Laurie Winslow Sargent, compiler of the half-century-old manuscripts of John Hayden Howard (internationally-known in the ‘60s as Hayden Howard.)
Howard’s fast-paced, mind-bending sci-fi and dystopian tales are perfect for fans of The Twilight Zone, Heinlein, and Isaac Asimov—who published one of Howard’s stories in one of his own anthologies.
Hayden Howard was a 1968 Nebula Best Novel award finalist and 1967 Hugo Best Novelette finalist (for a story included now in Gremmie’s Reef!) This was the same year Star Trek, Fahrenheit 451, and Fantastic Voyage were nominees–as was Lord of the Rings, the previous year– so Howard was in good company!
Published 73 times in the US, UK, and Australia, with translations in French and Italian, Howard’s works which once resonated across the globe are now reborn.
Enjoy 7 of his best stories in Reawakened Worlds Vol 1 (now Gremmie’s Reef) the first official collection from his own literary estate, and at this event see fun vintage reminders of the ’50s & ’60s.
