“We should note that Bloomsday, the yearly celebration of James Joyce, falls on Will Jenkins’ birthday, June 16. I would not want to hazard a guess as to which author---Jenkins or Joyce---has proved more popular or widely read." Terence E. Harnley: "Teller of Weird Tales."Will F. Jenkins is primarily remembered as a writer of science fiction under his pen name, Murray Leinster. He is credited with over 1500 stories, books, tv scripts, and films. Two of the pieces in this collection are classified as science fiction, however, his daughter Billee Stallings' childhood memories are of his old Remington upright typewriter clicking away as he wrote stories to be published under his own name in mainstream magazines. Jenkins considered his work in science fiction a hobby. His ability to switch genres and keep up with changing trends led to a successful 50-year career. He was a regular contributor to Colliers' and The Saturday Evening Post where the ten short stories in this collection first appeared. These magazines had circulations exceeding two and a half million copies a week. This collection will give you a peek at what entertained people before the rise of television. Jenkins is known for his tight plots and twists in the endings. His daughter felt that these ten stories, even though some are over sixty years old, stand up well for today's readers and should be available for their pleasure.
