I was expecting more of the same enjoyable writing, and I was not disappointed. As with the previous books published while the featured author was still alive, Moore has a small afterword at the end.īefore I read this volume, I was really only familiar with Moore through her oft-anthologized story “Black God’s Kiss,” which is included here. Moore were written before her time with Kuttner. However, all but two of the tales in The Best of C. She was also was famously married to another well-known sci-fi writer, Henry Kuttner (1915–1958), whom she collaborated with on many stories. Moore, she was one of the first truly successful women writers in genre fiction, gracing the early pages of Weird Tales and Astounding Stories.

Moore was done by “The Brothers Hildebrandt” (twin brothers Greg and Tim ) and represents something of a departure from the artistic precedence of Ellis and Sweet. But the fabulous cover art of The Best of C. You may recall that Dean Ellis (1920–2009) did the cover art for the first four installments in the series with Darrell Sweet handling the fifth, though still in the style of Ellis. Pierce edit, Lester Del Rey (1915–1993) returned to edit and give an introduction to this volume. After taking a break from the fifth installment to let J. Moore (1976) was the sixth installment in Del Rey’s Classic Science Fiction Series.
