  Inspired by the poetry of William Blake, Heaven and Hell delves into the murky topic of human consciousness through a discussion of religious mystical perception, biochemistry and psychoactive drug experimentation. Heaven and Hell explains how science, art, religion, literature, and psychoactive drugs can expand the reader’s everyday view of reality, offering a more profound grasp of the human experience. 
  Like his earlier essay, The Doors of Perception, Aldous Huxley’s Heaven and Hell exerted a tremendous influence on the counter-culture movement of the 1960s, inspiring the imaginations of an entire generation of artists and revolutionaries like Jim Morrison and Jackson Pollack.

  Old Friends Are the Best - A...

  The discovery seemed harmless enough. An engineer working on the Moon uncovers what appears to be a fossilized plant and sends it back to Earth for study. When botanist Peter W. Merrill examines the specimen, he realizes something astonishing—it may not be dead after all. Soon the strange organism is planted in Merrill’s garden, where it begins to grow quietly beneath the soil. 
  At first the plant appears unremarkable, barely larger than a small weed. But below the surface its roots spread outward in enormous underground networks, quietly reshaping the world around it. Subtle vibrations ripple through the ground. Scientists begin to notice strange gravitational distortions. Everyday objects tilt. Water falls at strange angles. Something beneath the Earth’s crust is pulling with increasing force—and every clue points back to the harmless-looking moonplant. 
  As panic spreads and millions flee the planet, scientists race to understand what the plant is really doing. Each passing day brings stronger tremors, sharper gravitational shifts, and a growing realization that the organism may not simply be growing. It may be preparing for something far larger. 
  Jack Sharkey’s Old Friends Are the Best blends cosmic scale with sly humor. What begins as a quiet scientific curiosity expands into a planetary crisis driven by one small plant with a very long memory. The story moves from quiet wonder to escalating disaster, revealing how easily a seemingly harmless discovery can reshape an entire world. Jack Sharkey wrote science fiction throughout the 1950s, 1960s, and into the 1970s, publishing stories in leading magazines such as Galaxy Science Fiction, Fantastic Universe, and If. His fiction often blended sharp humor with ambitious speculative ideas, giving even large cosmic concepts a playful edge.

  In The Walls of Eryx - Trapped...

  On Venus, crystal prospector Kenton J. Stanfield follows his detector across poisonous jungle toward a prize worth the danger. The crystal is enormous—but something invisible stands between him and escape. What first appears to be an impossible wall soon reveals itself as part of a vast structure whose corridors cannot be seen. 
  Trapped inside, Stanfield records his attempts to find a way out while his water, oxygen, and strength steadily disappear. Beyond the unseen walls, the Venusian natives gather to watch. Stanfield has always dismissed them as primitive creatures standing between humanity and the planet’s valuable crystals. Now, as they wait and observe his every move, he begins to wonder how badly humans have misunderstood them—and what the labyrinth was built to do. 
  H. P. Lovecraft helped transform American weird fiction through stories including The Call of Cthulhu, The Colour Out of Space, and At the Mountains of Madness. In this unusual excursion to Venus, his familiar sense of human vulnerability is placed inside a planetary adventure filled with alien biology and speculative technology. 
  Kenneth Sterling conceived the original idea while still a teenager and collaborated with Lovecraft on the story in 1935. In the Walls of Eryx was published in Weird Tales in October 1939, two years after Lovecraft’s death, and remains one of the most distinctive science fiction stories associated with his name.
