Lost Sci-Fi Books 26 thru 30: Killer Clocks, Stranded Spacemen and a Typewriter with a Mind of Its Own

Lost Sci-Fi Books 26 thru 30 brings together five wonderfully strange tales where an innocent gift can turn deadly, getting home from space can be more dangerous than leaving, and a struggling writer discovers the ultimate shortcut to success.

Beyond The Door by Philip K. Dick — Larry Thomas buys his wife a cuckoo clock, never imagining that something inside it may be watching the people outside. Before long, this ordinary household gift becomes anything but ordinary.

Shipping Clerk by William Morrison — Ollie has a job to do, but there’s one rather serious problem: he doesn’t really understand what he’s doing. By the time he discovers the truth, simply quitting may no longer be an option.

Spoken For by William Morrison — She can tell immediately that the stranger is lost. What she doesn’t realize is just how far from home he really is—or what his unexpected arrival could mean.

Pariah by Milton Lesser — After three years in space, Harry is finally coming home to Earth and the family he’s dreamed about seeing again. They’re waiting for him, all right—but they expect him to arrive as a corpse.

The Plagiarist From Rigel IV by Evan Hunter — Writing is hard work until Fred gets his hands on “Reggie,” a typewriter capable of producing stories all by itself. It sounds like every writer’s dream, until Fred discovers where those stories might actually be coming from.

Deadly surprises, dark humor, bizarre technology and visitors from far beyond Earth make Lost Sci-Fi Books 26 thru 30 another unpredictable journey into the wonderfully weird imagination of vintage science fiction.
