The Thought Machine - A Heist...

Raymond King Cummings

A machine that can reach beyond ordinary reality sounds like the score of a lifetime to Butch Conners. When he overhears Dr. Jenks describe a hidden realm filled with every idea mankind has yet to discover, the small-time criminal sees only money waiting to be taken. With his partners Red and Willie, he steals the bizarre device and launches himself toward a place no human was meant to enter.
What begins as a reckless grab for future inventions quickly turns into something stranger and far more dangerous. The Realm of Unthought Things does not behave like a warehouse full of treasure. It shifts around the minds exploring it, pulling hidden fears, memories, and obsessions into living form. Gangsters, police sirens, smoky back rooms, and old enemies suddenly become as real as the ground beneath their feet. The farther Butch pushes forward, the harder it becomes to tell whether he has discovered another dimension or wandered into a nightmare built from his own thoughts.
Ray Cummings delivers one of the wildest concepts of early science fiction in The Thought Machine. Long before stories about virtual realities or simulated worlds became common, Cummings imagined a universe where thought itself creates experience. The story moves with the speed of a crime thriller while introducing unsettling questions about perception and reality that still feel modern today.
Ray Cummings published hundreds of stories in magazines including Amazing Stories, Weird Tales, and Argosy. Trained as a technical writer and once associated with Thomas Edison’s laboratories, Cummings became famous for imaginative science fiction adventures such as The Girl in the Golden Atom and Brigands of the Moon. The Thought Machine showcases his talent for combining fast-moving pulp action with ambitious speculative ideas that were decades ahead of their time.

The True Ugly Duckling - How...

Sandra Nickel

He brought to life stories and characters that millions have loved: A one-legged tin soldier who yearned for love. A poor little match girl. A mermaid who gave up her voice for a prince. But who was Hans Christian Andersen? He was a “strange child.” An ugly duckling. Even his mother said so. He didn’t seem to think like, or look like, anyone around him. But while his tender heart was bruised by ridicule, it responded by driving an unstoppable urge to create, to entertain. If he couldn’t act he would dance, if he couldn’t dance he would sing, and if he couldn’t sing … well, maybe he had stories to tell. With each rejection and defeat, Hans would soothe himself by making art with scissors and whatever was handy. A bit of cloth, a piece of paper. Until one day … 
  
Structured like a fairy tale, this is the story of how Hans Christian Andersen took all the parts of his life—whether painful or transcendent—and used them to create books that have touched children the world over.
