Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Astounding Stories of Super-Science April 1930" by Anthony Pelcher is a collection of speculative fiction and science fiction stories written in the early 20th century. The magazine features a variety of plots, many of which delve into themes of resurrection, monsters, and extraordinary adventures in both earthly and cosmic realms. Readers immersed in this genre can expect to encounter a range of unique characters, extraordinary situations, and vivid imaginations typical of the era's pulp literature. The opening portion features the short story "The Man Who Was Dead," showcasing Jerry, a young man who braves a ferocious winter night to join his friends at a local store. Inside, he encounters a disturbing stranger—a gaunt man with a skeletal appearance, who interrupts a discussion on reincarnation. As the tension mounts, the stranger claims he has come back to life after being hanged. The story takes a dark turn as the stranger recounts his past, including a murder, leaving Jerry and his friends in shock and igniting fears of what this living dead man might do. This introduction sets a thrilling tone for the tales that follow in this collection, exploring the boundaries between life and death while evoking both suspense and wonder.
