4.0
I spent over a year slowly reading through this and so can't really give a proper review. Below are the notes I took as I finish each story.
Honeymoon In Hell by Fredric Brown
-pretty funny they're making them get married just to have a kid - amusing quirk of the time!
-pretty twisty, with sudden jumps from one twist to another. A bit dumb but stick's to its internal logic at least.
Misbegotten Missionary by Isaac Asimov
-pretty suspenseful for such a short story.
-nice subtle celebration of the uniqueness of earth life.
Transfer Point by Anthony Boucher
-interesting time travel story, with a surprisingly paradoxical ending.
Coming Attraction by Fritz Leiber
-interesting world-building, dystopian masks?
-well written noir, but not really sure what the point of the story was. Women are manipulative?
To Serve Man by Damon Knight
-entertaining enough, but a bit shallow and the twist was a little predictable.
Time Quarry part 2 by Clifford D. Simak
-been over a year since I read the first part, but provided a nice little synopsis of what had happened so far so wasn't lost
-The story was entertaining and complex and is enough to have me wanting to read issue 3.
