author: Staff of Publisher
description: When PLAYBOY gives imaginative writers carte blanche to stretch their minds, the sky's not the limit-it's the launching pad. Here is a generous cornucopia of a book, brimming with the very best tales of science fiction and fantasy published in PLAYBOY magazine-which means the very best published anywhere. Superb stories by Arthur C. Clark, Theordore Sturgeon, Robert Sheckley, Ray Bradbury, Frederik Pohl, William Tenn and other stellar talents in the field are assembled here, as well as exciting excursions by mainstream writers such as Bruce Jay Friedman, Bernard Wolfe, Hugh Nissenson, Charles Beaumont, Ken W. Purdy and many more. Their work glitters with the wonder and wizardry of both the science-fiction and fantasy genres, conjuring up images of Things From Outer Space as well as Things That Go Bump In The Night.
