Campbell. SYNOPSIS: THE VISIONS OF JOHN W. CAMPBELL Here in one volume are 11 of the finest stories and one penetrating article by the man who almost single-handedly created modern science fiction-stories rich in imagination and outstanding in their sweep and sense of that wonder which is science fiction at its best. Twilight-He was a mere hitchhiker now; but he had once seen the far, far future...and had returned to mourn what he had seen! The Machine-The machine was ultimately benevolent...so benevolent that it gave mankind the ultimate, but most unwanted gift! Forgetfulness-They were like children in the museum of Earth's glorious past...children who had forgotten so much, but whose powers were those of gods! Cloak of Aesir-The Sarn Mother had grown weary during her long rule over Earth...but neither her daughters nor mankind would grant her peace! Who Goes There? -The Thing was the most dreadful threat men had ever faced...a thing that could be any one-or all-of them! Plus six more stories of wonder-and an important view of the future by the writer who taught a generation to dream...and to write of all possible futures.

John Campbell was one of the science fiction writer I enjoyed as a kid when I started in this genre. Sci-fiction has been melded with fantasy in recent years --- I find Campbell's more to my liking. Worth a read!
