That edition also includes a couple of Silverberg's stories from the crime digests, which is where the novel originally appeared. Wonderful stuff. There isn't much Silverberg hasn't written.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-44291641913186011292014-03-02T17:34:28.653-06:002014-03-02T17:34:28.653-06:00I didn't know Silverberg wrote crime stuff.

Lansdale's <b>Molly's Sexual Follies</b> (a very hard book to find) and John Brunner's <b>The Incestuous Lovers</b>, which he did as Henry Crosstrees.Lawrence Personhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08493681072688769205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-85690082174466285712014-02-28T12:17:49.067-06:002014-02-28T12:17:49.067-06:00Thanks James.

For $11 you can get a copy of the 1973 Reed Nightstand reprint. The Reed Nightstand editions were rewritten slightly (by an in-house editor) to make the sex scenes more graphic, and there may be some other minor updating. Other than that they're pretty close to the originals.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-33651183468295180232014-02-28T08:54:16.233-06:002014-02-28T08:54:16.233-06:00You're right about a talented writer being abl...You're right about a talented writer being able to elevate a genre.

It was my first soft porn read. I was a preteen and very excited by that book. Have often looked for it to see what excited such a young chap but have never found it. The cover is seen on Amazon used for what is called a lost manuscript never published. I wonder how they can use the cover of a long ago printed book for this new offering. Maybe I shouldn't have written this. That would be true only if I were still that preteen.<br />Thanks for this entry. It brought back memories.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12168568381694506602noreply@blogger.com
