A collection of 100 postcards featuring iconic, bizarre, and mind-blowing science fiction book covers
 
Exploring the weird, wonderful world of science fiction cover art, this set of one hundred postcards includes classic images from some of the of the heavyweights of the genre—H. G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, J. G. Ballard, Philip K. Dick, Kurt Vonnegut, Ray Bradbury—as well as celebrating images from delightfully pulpy cult classics. Inspired by surrealism and pop art, and charting science fiction’s emergence as a literary force, the postcards in this collection will appeal to legions of sci-fi devotees and design fans alike.
The improbable life story of Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) included a peculiarly gothic childhood in Ireland during which he was successively abandoned by his mother, his father and his guardian; two decades in the United States, where he worked as a journalist and was sacked for marrying a former slave; and a long period in Japan, where he married a Japanese woman and wrote about Japanese society and aesthetics for a Western readership. His ghost stories, which were drawn from Japanese folklore and influenced by Buddhist beliefs, appeared in collections throughout the 1890s and 1900s. He is a much celebrated figure in Japan.
