Sunday Morning Bonus Pulp: Astounding Stories, August 1936


I'm not sure what's going on in this cover by Howard V. Brown, but that looks like a mosh pit in the background. Well, they do say that science fiction can predict the future. Inside this issue of ASTOUNDING STORIES are stories by some great writers: Jack Williamson, Murray Leinster, Stanley G. Weinbaum, Nat Schachner, Raymond Z. Gallun, Ralph Milne Farley, and Wallace West. F. Orlin Tremaine was still the editor at this point, but John W. Campbell has an article in this issue. The whole issue is on-line at the Internet Archive, so I guess if I'm curious enough about that cover, I can find out.

The story is about an invasion from an alternate universe, it was reprinted as THE OTHER SIDE OF HERE in ACE double D-94 in 1955

Thanks, Barry. I think I have that Ace Double. The cover is familiar. There's also an inexpensive e-book edition, which I just bought.

Late to the party, but I've read this one on Luminist. It is indeed a dimensional invasion. IIRC they've put a bunch of women in stasis while they were seated (hence odd poses) and are abducting them in fine "Mars Needs Women" style.
