Free fiction: Large batch of novels & short fiction by well-known authors
Links at SF Signal.
Well, actually these aren't new links - many are already linked from various pages here; wowio I'd not linked because they cannot be downloaded. But John has put them all on one page, & it's a worthy collection of links.
Note wowio links allow reading the story online via a proprietary interface, but downloads need to be paid for. On a few items on the list:
- If Henry Kuttner & C L Moore's linked "Mutant" is the short story collection that I think it is, it's one of the better reactions to Hitler's brand of racism.
- "Fury" is a novelization of "Clash by Night". I've only read the original shorter version. Not among the top end stories of Kuttner/Moore, but even their not-bad tends to be better than most. It's an adventure on Venus.
- According to some people, "Who Goes There?" is the best story penned by John Campbell. SF Signal links its wowio version; it's also available for download.
- "Death & the Senator" is among the good stories of Clarke (though not among his best). It's about space hospitals.
