Phenomenal Stories, Vol. 2, No. 1

Phenomenal Stories features the start of the 4-part fantasy serial, 'The Red Wizard' by J.D. Hayes-Canell. Sequels are in the works. PS presents the 2nd part of the fantasy seroal, 'The Book of Power,' by Richard H. Nilsen. The science fiction apocalyptic serial, 'After,' continues, racing to the dramatic end next month. Dunces & Dragons continues its exhausted and exhaustive adventures of put-upon reporter/columnist J.D. Hayes-Canell. Richard H. Nilsen's column, The Write Stuff, is designed to help novice writers out there to get writing. The first installment was a general guide to writing, but in this issue, Richard starts getting into character. Future parts will go into other specifics to help the budding writer write. The editor takes a look at the science fictional world of today, and 'Gosh! Wow! A Personal History of the Pulps' continues with part 5. Phenomenal Stories is a modern-day tribute to the science fiction/horror/fantasy/speculative pulp magazines of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.
