Fantastic universes ...




Whilst Nellecke toyed with a frayed boater, I skimmed a bizarre story in Fantastic Universe - 

The foxed pulp skulked between an Agatha Christie and a Sax Rohmer - 

The front cover of the mag depicted a 1950s cyborg smoking a Lucky Strike - 

I remembered reading copies of New Worlds Science Fiction when I was fourteen years old - 

I looked out for domed cities on the moon - rockets flew across the sky - 

Each page I read filled my soul with unease and wonder - 

My dad might drive his Vauxhall Viva into a parallel world - 

Jerry Cornelius might board the Gosport Ferry -
