Henry Slesar wrote more than 40 stories that were chosen for the classic television show, Alfred Hitchcock Presents.Irony, not suspense, is the key ingredient in the nineteen stories by Slesar offered in this collection. While irony often seems a by-product of cynicism, Anatole France called it "the last phase of disillusion." For Hitchcock and his writers, irony, not just suspense, was the basis of storytelling, along with its two constant companions: humor and pity.Hitchcock first spotted Slesar’s work in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine. The story, entitled "M Is for the Many," became an episode called "Heart of Gold." A lonely, orphaned young man just out of prison calls on the family of his cellmate. They "adopt" him and he is happy for the first time in his lifeuntil he learns that their kindness is directed toward finding out where his cellmate hid the money he stole.In his introduction Henry Slesar says, "Hitchcock always appreciated a good joke. He also appreciated a good story. I have never needed a more gratifying commendation than the fact that he liked the ones in this book."

Heartbreak Hospital is one of the most popular TV soap operas, an endless saga of life and death, love and hatred: to many of its fans, the characters seem much more real than the actors who play them. The character everyone loves to hate is Andrea Harmon, the soap's classic Bitch, played by Sunday Tyler—a ruthless, demanding, manipulative actress who has alienated everyone connected with the show. The only person who has seen Sunday's softer side is Bill Troy of the New York Police Department Movie/TV Unit, who is inevitably drawn into the case when Sunday is murdered, and no one has a satisfactory alibi.

A Philip J. Riley's NightMare Series volume. Commentary and "About the Author" Henry Slesar by Randall D. Larson - edited by Philip J. Riley The clouds of yellow dust rolled and swirled and whistled in agonized motion, and their sound obscured the needle-thin cries of men in anguish. The pain had come upon them suddenly, pain that gripped their chests like the giant talons of some rapacious bird, pain that sent them scurrying, reeling, stumbling towards the silvery object that stood half-buried in the volatile sands. Some were to make the ship in time; others were to die later. One was to live to see the horror of the dust-shrouded planet transplanted to the world of his birth, twenty million miles away. The Ymir, as the creature was named by Forrest J Ackerman is one of Ray Harryhausen's best remembered stop motion creations. Originally published as an Amazing Stories special edition.

Armchair Fiction presents extra-large editions of classic science fiction double novels with original illustrations. The first novel, "Secret of Marracott Deep" is a tale of an undersea race rising from the depths to menace mankind. What was the secret of beautiful woman on the beach who found herself constantly threatened by monsters from below? Look out for giant lobsters! The second novel, "Pawn of the Black Fleet" is a tale of pending invasion. A massive alien fleet hovered in the skies above America. For days the grim, threatening spaceships of the invading armada were seen simultaneously over every major city, washing the earth below with a stinking miasma of evil dread. Then suddenly, the pattern stopped and the world waited silently and fearfully for the next move. Both novels are terrific thrillers penned by two well-known '60s sci-fi specialists, Henry Slesar and Mark Clifton

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels.  The first novel, “A God Named Smith” is a brilliant essay of the future by renown sci-fi author, Henry Slesar.  The kind of people that Smith wanted for his new world was simple:  If you believe you have supe¬rior and/or mental capabili¬ties, and are interested in joining other men and women of your caliber in the most important enterprise of hu¬man history, you are invited to write for full details con¬cerning the establishment of a new planetary home for the human race.  This is an un¬precedented opportunity to begin life anew on a better world:  a world without fault and without end, where Nature is subservient to Man, and Man subservient to God; where beauty and perfection are more important than hate or lust; where Man can live in peace and harmony and eternal Truth.  The only problem was that Smith turned out to be something less than a benevolent ruler.  The second novel, “Worlds of the Imperium,” is by another great sci-fi veteran, Keith Laumer.  It was high intrigue in an alternate universe.  For Brion Bayard, the discovery of an alternate world to Earth, where history took a different turn in the road, was not a pleasant experience.  When he was kidnapped kicking and screaming, it brought him some startling revelations.  Here was a world in which there were identical double personages—¬including a dangerous and most hated dictator named…Brion Bayard!  His assignment seemed simple enough.  Dressed as the dictator’s double, Brion was to enter the enemy stronghold, kill the dictator, and take his place until law and order could be maintained.  Unfortunately, assassination attempts are a mighty tricky deal and things do not always go as planned…
