Must rectify that. Not that I haven't read most of the stories in the three anthologies you review here, but heck, want, want. I like Aldis as an editor better than I do as a fiction writer, I think.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2728909293998777391.post-43057892242555152612016-06-17T08:29:53.627-07:002016-06-17T08:29:53.627-07:00The two volumes of the US version of GALACTIC EMPI...The two volumes of the US version of GALACTIC EMPIRES and SPACE OPERA are the only of these I've had (in storage for some time now!), and these were all also meant to be seen, I think, as complements to BILLION YEAR SPREE, his first history of sf, revised later as TRILLION YEAR SPREE. I think he as well as I would suggest there were more dichotomies in sf than simply Campbellian and Everyone Else's, but that is certainly how a Whole Big Lot of Fans persist in seeing At Least the fiction of the middle decades of the last century, and I gather I often irritate them by disagreeing as I tend to do. (A bit like insisting it was Hardboiled and Everyone Else in crime fiction, also popular and also too reductionist, by me.) I'm glad I've read most of the contents of EVIL and PERILOUS in other anthologies over the years, but would like to see Aldiss's notes...and I'm glad to see them reviewed here!
