ESCAPE — THE GROVE OF ASHTAROTH For the second week in a row we turn to Escape for our weekly Old Time Radio episode. “The Grove of Ashtaroth” aired on February 29, 1948 and comes from the John Buchan novelette first published in the June 1910 issue of Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine.Buchan (1875-1940) aside from being the 15th Governor General of Canada from 1935-40, is perhaps most well known for his novelTHE HERMIT’S CAVE
The Hermit’s Cave aired “Mystery of the Thing” sometime during 1937, a more precise date being impossible to determine. Out of some 800 shows over a 17-year time span only around 30-40 have survived, and the show’s history is relatively sparse and convoluted, going by different names and without information surviving as to the writers and air dates; even show titles have been lost.

ANALOG, JULY/AUGUST 2020 Analog, July/August 2020 “Flyboys” by Stanley Schmidt “Sticks and Stones” by Tom Jolly “The Offending Eye” by Robert R. Chase “The Mad Cabbage” by Céline MalgenTHE WHISTLER
The Whistler has an interesting backstory, and would take much too long to go into here to give it the justice it warrants. A few points of interest will suffice for this offering of the beloved mystery show, the first of which is the use of the narrator as more than justa host.
ESCAPE — THE GROVE OF ASHTAROTH For the second week in a row we turn to Escape for our weekly Old Time Radio episode. “The Grove of Ashtaroth” aired on February 29, 1948 and comes from the John Buchan novelette first published in the June 1910 issue of Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine.Buchan (1875-1940) aside from being the 15th Governor General of Canada from 1935-40, is perhaps most well known for his novelTHE HERMIT’S CAVE
The Hermit’s Cave aired “Mystery of the Thing” sometime during 1937, a more precise date being impossible to determine. Out of some 800 shows over a 17-year time span only around 30-40 have survived, and the show’s history is relatively sparse and convoluted, going by different names and without information surviving as to the writers and air dates; even show titles have been lost. YOURS TRULY, JOHNNY DOLLAR Johnny Dollar is not easily fooled. A straight shooter, he has a way of sniffing out deception. “The Ghost to Ghost Matter” (written by producer and director Johnstone, 1906-1991, photo at left) is a rare foray into the supernatural. An unsettling phone call awakens Dollar in the dead of night.Skip to content
the genre's premiere review magazine for short SF & Fantasy since 1993 TANGENT ONLINE 2020 RECOMMENDED READING LIST _TANGENT ONLINE _2020 RECOMMENDED READING LIST As with previous years, this list is not meant as comprehensive, there being a number of items we didn’t see. As has been the case for the last several years, of necessity (too many magazines, too few reviewers) we narrowed our focus (with some exceptions) to those stories published in professionally paying markets as defined by SFWA (including when the pro rate was set at 5 cents per word; it has now increased to 8 cents per word). There are 351 stories on this year’s list (down 21 from last year’s 372): 293 short stories (down 20 from last year’s 313), 48 novelettes (up 3 from last year’s 45), and 10 novellas (the same as last year’s 10). As with any such list—especially ours with its ever-changing review staff—different reviewers bring different perspectives on how to approach stories, how they are thus measured, and of course the stories themselves are of different “quality” (up or down) if such a thing as quality can be measured by any objective standard. However, it does seem as if each year has its own nebulous, general level of quality, with some years being commented upon in retrospect as great years for quality fiction and others not so much. There are just too many variables to nail down as to why any given year—or recommended reading list—has more or fewer stories placed on it by a different cast of reviewers, each of whom brings their own individual set of standards to the fiction they read.
