Now’s your chance to read None But Lucifer
by TheThunderChild on Dec.27, 2009, under General News
I’d long heard of Horace L. Gold (and L. Sprague de Camp’s) “most terrifying story to ever appear in Unknown,” novella, None But Lucifer, but I hadn’t realized it was available to be read, not only in print but also online – for free, thanks to Galaxyezine.com
I share some infor about it at:

Horace Gold’s son shares some Willy Ley stories
by TheThunderChild on Dec.27, 2009, under General News
Rocketry expert Willy Ley acted as science editor for Galaxy magazine for about ten years. Galaxy was published by Horace Gold. It folded in 1980. There is a webzine, galaxyezine.com, from which I found these two videos, uploaded to YouTube. In them, E.L. Gold tells a couple of amusing Willy Ley stories.
The Thunder Child is launching a couple of new blogs for the new year, one on space exploration and one on marine exploration.
For the stories on Willy Ley (and Gold does a good German accent) check out: http://spaceexplorationchronicles.blogspot.com/2009/12/willy-ley-and-galaxy-and-rockets.html
