#MervynPeake

Oh look what arrived in the mailbox today! I never expected to see a new #MichaelMoorcock edited large format issue of #NewWorlds again. Particularly with a story by #PamelaZoline, whose "Heat Death of the Universe" completely blew my mind when I first read it. Not to mention a new Moorcock #JerryCornelius story! My copies of the large format New Worlds are pretty much my most treasured possessions, so this is a very exciting acquisition.

For those who are unaware, New Worlds was Britain's first professional #ScienceFiction magazine, originally edited by Ted Carnell from 1936 until 1964. When Mike Moorcock took over in 1964, it became the foremost publisher of #NewWave #SF #experimental #fiction - people such as #JGBallard #MervynPeake #BrianAldiss etc etc. I don't believe boundaries have been pushed anywhere as much since then. Amazing, mind-blowing stuff.

A copy of New Worlds Magazine. A man in purple suit standing before a London bus in the bombed out ruins of London. Surrounding him are a dodgy cast of characters including a rotund bishop lying seductively on the ground eating chocolate, as well as other dubious characters.
