Description: Collectible book from the 45-year stash of award-winning author Jessica Salmonson SCIENCE FICTION IN OLD SAN FRANCISCO: History...from 1854 to 1890, Sam Moskowitz. West Kingston, Rhode Island: Donald M. Grant, 1980. First Edition. Fine hardcover in Fine dustwrapper (as new). A noted science fiction and Fantasy historian trumps up an elaborate "movement" out of 40 years of authors occasionally writing Fantasy and supernatural Horror, who lived in or at least visited San Francisco. Imbedded in it is a goldmine of notes and information for researchers not interested in a confabulated "movement" but in weird tales and Victorian science fiction with California associations. Some of the authors nicely covered: fin de siecle greats Emma Frances Dawson and W. C. Morrow; Bret Hart, Ambrose Bierce, Robert Louis Stevenson, William Henry Rhodes, Robert Duncan Milne, J. Eston Cook, Edward Page Mitchell and many others. Embraces a big history of San Francisco area newspapers and monthly magazines in which Fantasy, Horror, and science fiction was regularly featured. Illustrated with historical photographs and drawings.
