Just acquired the Galaxy (Dec 1973) mag w/"Unbiased God," a short story. It deals with two spacefarers, crashed on a lonely, inhospitable planet, with a ...
I have recently acquired the British edition of _Mr. Justice_, published by Dobson Books Ltd. The only real difference is the cover art (which is now the Club...
The cover art is great--an excellent period piece for the club's logo. Do you suppose the artist read the book? Mister Justice looks like the Flash with a ...
Whoops--I just realized the "diving helmet" was a camera, a tool often used by the time-traveling Mister Justice to nail wrongdoers. So the artist did at least...
WOOHOO! After aeons of obscurity...another member joins! Welcome!<br><br>Of note...I contacted Liz Henry back in 1996? or so...she related that a relative of ...
Hi! Thanks for the welcome.<br>I also e-mailed Liz H, a couple of years ago; she told me where she thought DP was living these days and her approximate age ...
Some random thoughts on _Doomtime_:<br>1. The cliff-dwelling residents of Neo are somewhat like the Eloi in HG Wells _Time Machine_. All the Neons' physical...
I read my first DP book, "Spaceling," when I was 12 or 13...and I knew I wanted to read more by her. The science aspects, wording and pace were unusual enough...

Good points, Tom! <br><br>I know of the ants you mentioned in #2...they are Argentine ants. Very small, very adapted to survival. They are even semi-helpful to...

_Earth in Twilight_<br>reviewed by Tom Moody<br><br>Doris Piserchia's 1981 novel _Earth in Twilight_ is a bit like a low-budget film made with costumes and ...
_Earth in Twilight_<br>reviewed by Tom Moody<br>(continued from Part 1)<br><br>If Piserchia is centrist on domestic issues, however, she is downright Gaian in ...
All the reviews of Doris Piserchia's books on amazon.com were summarily deleted a couple of days ago. I guess they needed to free up space in the server farm ...
You're right about the recurrence of characters in DP's novels "begging for incarceration." Usually it's someone the protagonist knows is a rogue but can't or...
Yes...it is odd that they are handsome, short and evil. Not a usual combo...I wonder whether or not they are based on people that the author knew growing up?...
That is an amazing review, Tom! You make some great points. I've never read that Brian Aldiss series, but I can imagine it...<br><br>IMHO, there is another ...
Yes, it's Japanese-monster-movies all the way (Those movies are still good--I went to see _Godzilla 2000_ after one reviewer described his opponent as "a ...

(continued from part 1)<br>Yet even if one accepts Donawerth's stingy, sociobiological reading of the story, what are we to make of her argument that Piserchia...
I agree with you about this Ms. Donawerth. It seems she brought too much to the table when reading _The Spinner_. One can only wonder what sense she would have...
Tom and I were able to contact Doris Piserchia herself (be still my heart!) and she agreed to let us ask her all sorts of questions, and to post her answers ...
[This is the response we got from our first letter, reproduced in its entirety. We asked the questions, Doris provides everything else.]<br><br>Thanks for your...
Before I get to the short stories I wanted to say a few things on the subject of genre. Bruce Sterling came up with the term "slipstream" to describe books...
