Jerome Bixby S The Man From Earth

by Richard Schenkman, Jerome Bixby S The Man From Earth Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Jerome Bixby S The Man From Earth book, Richard Schenkman / 6m, 3f / Drama / Unit Set After history professor John Oldman unexpectedly resigns from the University, his startled colleagues impulsively invite themselves to his home, pressing him for an explanation. But they're shocked to hear his reason for premature retirement: John claims he must move on because he is immortal, and cannot stay in one place for more than ten years without his secret being discovered. Tempers rise and emotions flow as John's fellow professors attempt to poke holes in his story, but it soon becomes clear that his tale is as impossible to disprove as it is to verify. What starts out as a friendly gathering soon builds to an unexpected and shattering climax. Acclaimed science fiction writer Jerome Bixby, writer of the original 'Star Trek' and 'The Twilight Zone', originally conceived this story back in the early 1960's. It would come to be his last great work.

Twice The Thrills Twice The Chills

by Bryan Senn, Twice The Thrills Twice The Chills Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Twice The Thrills Twice The Chills book, In the mid-1950s, to combat declining theater attendance, film distributors began releasing pre-packaged genre double-bills—including many horror and science fiction double features. Though many of these films were low-budget and low-end, others, such as Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Horror of Dracula and The Fly, became bona fide classics. Beginning with Universal-International’s 1955 pairing of Revenge of the Creature and Cult of the Cobra, 147 officially sanctioned horror and sci-fi double-bills were released over a 20-year period. This book presents these double features year-by-year, and includes production details, historical notes, and critical commentary for each film.

Devilish Tales

by Jerome Bixby, Devilish Tales Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Devilish Tales book, The fantasies in this collection were written in the late 1950s & early ’60s, for a number of “men’s” magazines in the mode of Hugh Hefner's then-flourishing Playboy. In them Bixby depicts men’s and women’s lives with irony, wit and humor. There are plenty of laughs in this collection, but each carries a wicked O'Henry type sting in its scathing observations of the typical heterosexual relationships of the time. Most of his fantasy tales for this market were written because Jerome Bixby was in need of a quick cash payment to help support his growing family when he was temporarily between movie and television assignments. Each is a humorous and razor-edged satire on mid-century American sexual mores and morals. And though much has changed in the half-century since, Bixby's fantasies for these magazines still retain an embarrassing relevance to elements in heterosexual relationships today. Fans of Jerome Bixby's film classics, like Fantastic Voyage and The Man from Earth, and his stories for Star Trek: The Original Series, “Mirror, Mirror”, “Day of the Dove”, “By Any Other Name,” and “Who Mourns for Adonais?”, will find much of the same penchant for biting commentary on human foibles and failures in these Devilish Tales.

Where There S Hope

by Jerome Bixby, Where There S Hope Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Where There S Hope book, "If you called me here to tell me to have a child," Mary Pornsen said, "you can just forget about it. We girls have made up our minds." Hugh Farrel, Chief Medical Officer of the Exodus VII -- the seed shi p that'd colonized this world -- sighed and leaned back in his chair. He looked at Mary's husband. "And you, Ralph," he said. "How do you feel?" Ralph Pornsen looked at Mary uncomfortably, started to speak and then hesitated. Hugh Farrel sighed again and closed his eyes. It was that way with all the boys. The wives had the whip hand. If the husbands put up an argument, they'd simply get turned down flat: no sex at all, children or otherwise. The threat, Farrel thought wryly, made the boys softer than watered putty. His own wife, Alice, was one of the ringleaders of the "no babies" movement, and since he had openly declared warfare on the idea, she wouldn't even let him kiss her good-night.
