Phenomenal Stories #20, vol. 4, no. 1

It's been a rough road and other clichs, but Phenomenal Stories is back yet again to provide suitable reading material for anyone not willing to accept schlock as entertainment. What? Haven't we realized the Pulp Era has long since departed this mortal, ephemeral coil? Sure we have, but that hasn't stopped us from keeping the Time Saga going with part three of 'Time: Book 03: Beyond the Wall of Time' [Shawn M. Tomlinson] or digging into a backwoods murder mystery in 'Brush Arbor' [Richard H. Nilsen] or remembering the eerie phenomenon that was 'Dark Shadows' [Francine Farina] or even venturing into the equal rights of androids [J.D. Hayes-Canell.] Very little stops us, in fact, except the cold, hard smack of reality every once in a while. We even have to fantastic authors who long ago decided they'd had enough of this world and left. We love them both, though, so H.P. Lovecraft and C.M. Kornbluth still are taking final bows in Phenomenal Stories.
