It's already done! Unless you've since taken us off, which would be a mean trick, Lucy....

Ahhh.... Thank you!

Hello! May we be in the pack?

A decent issue of #Fantasy and #ScienceFiction this month!

april-18-1971-hidden-dangers-new-writings-in-horror-and-supernatural-1 My anthology for the month is about the hidden dangers of contemporary life and the horror that may be lying just underneath the surface.

A bit of a tangent, but today, @krisvm.bsky.social is exploring #Horror and the #Supernatural!

The three #ScienceFiction books in April's second Galactoscope run the gamut from crap to celestial—ahh, but that summit is worth apexing!

Five science fiction book covers, all described in detail in the article proper.

Five books in this month's first Galactoscope, and the really good #ScienceFiction novel might surprise you...

Colour movie poster advertising 'Baadasssss!- A Father, A Son, A Revolution' with blurbs from WBAI and The New York Times. The poster features a closeup of young black man (Melvin Van Peebles) with a handlebar moustache wearing a black brimmed hat, wreathed by a collage of a pictures of the movie's characters.

A thoughtful review from Tam that's probably better than the movie deserves...

The cover of the May-June 1971 edition of Galaxy Magazine, written in yellow across the top. Down the left side, the featured authors are shown in a bulleted list: Sturgeon; Lunan; Silverberg; Budrys; and MacFarlane. The illustration is a painting of a man standing atop an outcrop raising his arms skyward as he looks up into a red expanse. Red-eyed robots climbing the rock are reaching their hands upward as though to grab him. Yellow flames extend upward behind them.

A black and white newspaper photo shows two white men with receding hairlines, one wearing a suit and tie and one wearing a military uniform, standing in front of a table with papers spread over it. The caption reads: Checking on reactions. Army Lt. William L. Calley Jr. (right) and one of his civilian defense attorneys, Richard Kay, check over stacks of telegrams received by Calley since a guilty verdict was returned in connection with Vietnamese civilian deaths.

Calley sentenced to life. Galaxy #ScienceFiction sentenced to mediocrity. Read all about it!

Yes, well, the Soviets were always worried about their stations being targets for Icy B.M.s...

Cover of IF, showing a mechanized suit falling through the skies, trailed like a comet.

Atlas map of Southern Asia including East Pakistan

A fair issue of IF #ScienceFiction, but an excellent discussion of the revolt in East Pakistan/Bangladesh. Dig it:

Colour cover photograph of the April 1971 issue of Analog Science Fiction Science Fact. The cover features a humanoid character with a head resembling that of a smiling pink Sphinx cat in the foreground, wearing a slinky tunic and reading a slightly scuffed copy of Project Longshot's final NASA report. In the close background we see the silhouettes of crowds of dispirited and abject humans gazing forwards from behind a barbed-wire fence.

Boy, this month's Analog #ScienceFiction is a stinker... AND they canceled the SST.

Is there a bright side? I guess you'll have to read on to find it:

I am at Galactic Journey today, reviewing the delightful 1970 Czech children's fantasy series "Pan Tau". I also share my theory that Pan Tau is a Time Lord. Plus, the screen debut of the 21-year-old Ivana Trump to be: galacticjourney.org/march-26-197...

As quoted from the Keystone Press, 1971, "As Suggestion for an Easter Walk we present these charming spring/summer hats which are particularly thought for young people in love. Also the hat fashion presents flowers as decoration as can be seen at his lady's hat (made out of special straw with a small veil). The gentleman's hat is particularly light, a riband of linen emphasizes the youthful looking."

Gwyn's latest fashion piece is up! Let it go to your head...

All true, and if I was incomplete, it's because there's only so much effort I'll put into reviewing a review!

Thank you for the praise. We'll keep it up.

The cover of the April edition of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. It shows a group of painted images: A fat white man with curly brown hair wearing a cloak and tunic with a large medallion on the chest rests his hands atop a blue and green planet; The head of a white man with unruly brown hair and plastic framed glasses, smiling; a knight in a helmet and red cloak holding a sword and a shield with three hearts and three lions on it; a crocodilian alien in a transparent space helmet; a white catlike alien; a wolf and black cat with white eyes; a naked blonde woman with white eyes whose nether regions are covered by an artfully draped green ribbon; A man in a black hat, red cloak, and white doublet stands with his hands on his hips in front of a silhouetted figure in a space suit aiming a blaster; a long metallic rocket flying through space.

"A color painting shows five Chinese toddlers and a puppy riding through space on a rocket with an open top like a convertible car. They are grinning and reaching up for flowers that are falling onto the clouds around them, dropped by two women in traditional Chinese gowns who are standing on a cloud bank in front of the moon, on which a building is depicted.

A superlative issue of #Fantasy and #ScienceFiction and another Red Star in #space

The Master tenderly caresses The Doctor...

In must confess, I laughed several times reading @holmesja.bsky.social 's latest #DoctorWho review!

"Nu. So you're a maven on 'mavens' now?"

Five science fiction book covers (described in detail in the article)

Enjoy these reviews for a lovely quintet of books, two of which are excellent, one of which is middling, and two of which are… to be avoided.
