Henry Kuttner Books Overview

The Dark World

Henry Kuttner’s Sword and Sorcery classic returns to print at last! World War II veteran Edward Bond’s recuperation from a disastrous fighter plane crash takes a distinct turn for the weird when he encounters a giant wolf, a red witch, and the undeniable power of the need fire, a portal to a world of magic and swordplay at once terribly new and hauntingly familiar. In The Dark World, Bond opposes the machinations of the dread lord Ganelon and his terrible retinue of werewolves, wizards, and witches, but all is not as it seems in this shadowy mirror of the real world, and Bond discovers that a part of him feels more at home here than he ever has on Earth.

Valley of the Flame

Henry Kuttner April 7, 1915 February 4, 1958 was an American author of science fiction, fantasy and horror.

Fury

Under the roiling seas of Venus, under the deadly atmosphere are the Keeps, fully enclosed cities, and within them live the descendants of those survivors who used that atomic energy to propel the spaceships which first took them to Venus. In the massive superstructures that were built under the Venusian seas a complex feudal society devoted to decadence has evolved. Presiding over that society are the Immortals genetic throwbacks to the mutant atomic survivors who control the culture. This is a stable society but the stability will lead only to its destruction; the environment of Venus outside the Keeps is malevolent and it is encroaching. Into this society is born Sam Harker, the son of an Immortal whose human mother perishes in childbirth. The object of his father’s hatred and disdain, Sam Harker is subjected to treatments which stunt his growth and render him hairless, then exiled from the society of Immortals to lead a tumultuous, rebel’s life, one inspired by his hatred and desire for vengeance upon that society which exiled him. Sam wants revenge, he wants to destroy the society which has made him an outcast. His search for revenge and his great abilities make him more powerful than the decadent residents of the Keeps, even more powerful than the Immortals. As Sam becomes a politician appealing to the mas*ses in his search for power, his campaign assaults the society itself that society becomes at risk. In the aftermath of destruction, the reclamation of human destiny becomes possible if humanity is forced to leave the Keeps. In unpublished correspondence with Sam Moskowitz in the l960’s, in relation to Moskowitz’s Seekers of Tomorrow, a collection of biographies of major science fiction writers, C.L. Moore wrote that Fury came about because John Campbell, the editor of Astounding, wanted a novel from the Kuttners and insisted upon its immediate delivery. The novel was scheduled and written so quickly Moore said, that the first part of a three part serial was in print before they had completed the final installment. The novel was half written before the Kuttners themselves truly understood its plot and characters. Paradoxically, this urgency and improvisation led to a novel with great spontaneity, with high wire intensity and unpredictability and Fury has been acclaimed as perhaps the only novel at the level of the great Kuttner and Moore short stories which dominated Astounding in the l940’s. Mutant, also published by Rosetta, is also highly regarded but that latter work was assembled from five self standing novelettes spaced over a more considerable period. The influence of Fury upon other writers is evident; much of the decadence of John Brunner’s, Robert Silveberg’s, Brian Aldiss’s and Philip K. Dick’s projected human societies in their fiction of the l960’s was foreshadowed by the Kuttners.

The Time Axis

Called to the end of time by a being known as The Face of Ea, four adventurers face a power that not even the science of that era could meet the nekron, negative matter, negative force, ultimate desctruction for everything it touched!

Mutant

Henry Kuttner’s 1953 novel of a despised community of telepaths hiding from society carries echoes of the Holocaust and the postwar DP communities. Kuttner, the most inventive and gifted short story writer in all of the science fiction, bridged this novel from five novelettes in ASTOUNDING: four were published that atomic year, 1945.

The Well of the Worlds

Clifford Sawyer, investigating ghosts in a mine, finds ancient beings from another world and gets swept up in a titanic struggle between for control of a parallel dimension. Henry Kuttner 1915 1958 was known for his literary prose and worked in close collaboration with his wife, C. L. Moore. They met through their association with the ‘Lovecraft Circle,’ a group of writers and fans who corresponded with H. P. Lovecraft. Their work together spanned the 1940s and 1950s, mostly published under pseudonyms such as Lewis Padgett and Lawrence O’Donnell.

Destination: Infinity

Far beneath the turbulent seas of Venus lived all that remained of humanity. Earth was gone a fast fading atomic noval in the evening sky. But can Reed’s daring plan to colonize the surface of Venus possibly work…
? Originally published as ‘Fury.’

Elak of Atlantis

Explore the origins of Sword & Sorcery with Henry Kuttner’s Elak of Atlantis! Published in Weird Tales to satisfy fans of Conan the Barbarian in the wake of Robert E. Howard’s death, the four long stories depict a brutal world of flashing swords and primal magic, touched by a hint of Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos. Never collected in a mass market edition since their publication in the late 1930s, these exciting tales helped to establish a genre and are a critical part of any fantasy library. Included as a bonus are Kuttner’s two Prince Raynor stories from 1939’s Strange Tales. With seminal, thrilling adventure tales from one of the most important writers in science fiction and fantasy, Elak of Atlantis is not to be missed!

Robots Have No Tails

Hounded by creditors and heckled by an uncooperative robot, binge drinking inventor Galloway Gallegher must solve the mystery of his own machines before his dodgy financing and reckless lifestyle catch up with him! This complete collection of Kuttner’s five classic ‘Gallegher’ stories presents the author at the height of his imaginative genius.

Mountain Magic

The forces of evil, both natural and supernatural, are poised to prey on the folk of the hamlets and hollows: witches, demons, and criminals of more than one century. But first they’ll have to overcome some very unusual residents of the hills and valleys. One is David Drake’s unforgettable creation, Old Nathan the Wizard. He doesn’t claim much for his magical powers, but they’re real enough for what they are and besides, he hasn’t forgotten how to use his long flintlock rifle. Enter the gritty, realistic world of Old Nathan, a backwoodsman who talks to animals and says he’ll face the Devil himself and who in the end will have to face the Devil in very fact. A century later, very different interlopers, from criminals to snooping college professors, are poking around the hills, up to no good. But a very unusual family, the Hogbens, are likely to cause more trouble than unwelcome visitors can handle, as Henry Kuttner relates. They’re a family of mutants, with very unusual powers, and city folk who cause trouble are likely to suddenly find unbelievable and unpleasant things happening to them. But not all of the trouble is caused by humans, as the Slade family find out when Eric Flint and Ryk E. Spoor relate how a Kentucky family finds itself caught in the middle of a struggle between battling groups of the creatures who live deep underground and are the basis from the old legends of gnomes. The Slades have to make sure that the right gnomes win or an earthquake will wipe out everyone in at least four states. Magic, mutants, and mountain folk add up to an unusual volume, with adventure ranging from the grim and eerie to the wildly comic.

Mimzy and Other Stories

THE LAST MIMZY IS THE IDEAL INTRODUCTION TO AN AUTHOR WHO WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME AND WHOSE TIME HAS FINALLY COME. These seventeen classic stories create their own unique galaxy of vain, protective, and murderous robots; devilish angels; and warm and angry aliens. In Mimsy Were the Borogoves the inspiration for New Line Cinema’s major motion picture The Last Mimzy a boy finds a discarded box containing a treasure trove of curious objects. When he and his sister begin to play with these trinkets including a crystal cube that magnifies the unimaginable and a strange doll with removable organs that don t quite correspond to those of the human body their parents grow concerned. And they should be. For the items are changing the way the children think and perceive the world around them for better or worse. Ray Bradbury called Henry Kuttner a man who shaped science fiction and fantasy in its most important years. Marion Zimmer Bradley and Roger Zelazny said he was a major inspiration. Kuttner was a writer s writer whose visionary works anticipated our own computer controlled, machine made world. At the time of his death at forty two in 1958, he had created as many as 170 stories under more than a dozen pseudonyms sometimes writing entire issues of science fiction magazines in close collaboration with his wife, C. L. Moore. This definitive collection will be a revelation to those who wish to discover or rediscover Henry Kuttner, a true master of the universe.

Detour to Otherness

In 1961, Ballantine Books published Bypass to Otherness, a paperback collection of some of Henry Kuttner’s and C. L. Moore’s best short stories. Several selections were drawn from Kuttner’s popular series such as the ‘Hogbens’ comedic otherworldly hillbillies living in America, ‘Gallagher Galloway’ scientist who invents technical marvels only when intoxicated, and the ‘Baldies’ stories eventually collected in Mutant. Bypass was projected as the first of three Otherness collections of Kuttner’s short fiction. Return to Otherness followed in 1962 with 8 more stories. And then…
nothing. The third Otherness collection never appeared. Now, almost fifty years later, Haffner Press announces Detour to Otherness: a massive hardcover assembling the contents of both Bypass to Otherness and Return to Otherness, and adding 8 additional stories selected for their scarcity, quality, and sheer entertainment value. Grand Masters Robert Silverberg and Frederik Pohl provide introductory and afterword materials to the book, and the whole affair is decorated with an unpublished painting by Richard Powers.
