Stories from The Sun, 1874-1885AD (illustrated): Classic stories that inspired pulp fiction and the first wave of Sci Fi short stories

Illustrated with classic pulp magazine covers from the age of blended science and fantasy by James Allen St John, whose art style was as essential and influential in early sci fi as Allen's stories.A unique blend of the paranormal and scientific, Mitchell's stories featured in the Sun, a New York daily newspaper. Published anonymously, they presented slices of strangeness and wonder, including the first literary treatments of teleportation, mind transfer, faster-than-light travel (FTL), a scientific invisibility process, time travel, AI, cyborgs, and much more. He has been called "the lost giant of American Science Fiction", and was mentored by EE Hale, author of "The Brick Moon" (in vol. 3 of this collection). His later work as an editor played an important part in the development of New York's earliest science fiction scene.
