Our Scottiedogs, December 14th . . . (posted for the 25th)

Fat Santa rides a red firetruck
outside our house; and with his bark that bites
our Hutton festively shouts, "WTF?"
Loud sirens and red-flashing lights!
These village Christmas sounds and sights!
Sing carols! Santa rides a red firetruck!
Our Callie joins the chorus: "WTF!"

C.M. Kornbluth: The Life and Works of a Science Fiction Visionary

... "Magisterial" -- Robert Silverberg

... "Profoundly impressive, absolutely remarkable. This is a stunning work." -- Barry N. Malzberg

... "A scholarly text (with the requisite forty pages of notes) that reads like a novel, Rich's book is nothing short of a delight." -- Don Sakers, in Analog

... "Required reading." -- Steven Silver's Reviews

... "Endlessly fascinating ... one of the most detailed and documented accounts that we have of a central but largely unresearched era in the development of modern SF." -- Gary K. Wolfe, in Locus

... "Not just the life of C.M. Kornbluth. It is also a biography of the science fiction movement that was largely started by Hugo Gernsback in the 1920s and '30s ... A highly recommendable book that is an excellent read." -- The Operaphile
