Journey into space with Polish scifi master Stanislaw Lem. The whimsical time-loops of Ijon Tichy's cosmic adventure 'The Seventh Voyage' are reminiscent of Douglas Adams, while the spectral whispers haunting Pirx the Pilot as he navigates his spaceship to Mars in 'Terminus', echo the author's masterpiece Solaris. Then 'The Mask' introduces a perfect robot assassin and asks, can AI fall in love or refuse its programming? What if the target of its affections is also its prey?

    EDGAR ALLAN POE
    Edgar Allen Poe's short stories have lost none of their power to horrify. He remains a destabilizingly terse sketcher out of ideas, a writer who allows the reader to fill in the many ghastly blanks in his narratives of violence, retribution and animalism. It is hard to recommend Hop-Frog wholeheartedly (its original subtitle was: Or, The Eight Chained Ourang-Outangs) as it is s...
