Philip José Farmer invented sex.
OK. That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but it is fair to say that Phil Farmer introduced sex to science fiction. In the early 1950s, when Farmer started publishing his SF stories, the only real markets for the stories were the Science Fiction magazines - the most famous of which were Astounding Science Fiction Galaxy , and The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction . Although no longer technically pulp magazines they still maintained many of the traditions of their pulp ancestors. The most obvious tradition: no sex.

Venus on the Half-Shell and Others 26 January 2008
This week, just before Farmer's birthday, did publisher Subterranean Press release and ship the trade edition of the new collection Venus on the Half-Shell and Others , "..in which the author slips out of his own skin and into that of fictive authors..." (see publisher's website ). If you want a copy of this collection, you should order it now, before they are all gone. Previous Farmer books from Subterranean were sold out in no time!
As soon as I receive the trade edition a new bookpage will be added on this site. The other two editions will take some time to finish due to the production time of the slipcase and espcially the traycase.

A review by Nathan Brazil
Advertisement 'Jill was a very bright child, but what if too many TV shows at too early an age had done her some irreparable harm? What if, a few years from now, she could easily see, and even define, the distinction between reality and unreality on the screen, but deep down in her there was a child that still could not distinguish?' Entirely missing from this collection are any examples of Farmer's World of Tiers series, or his more controversial semi-pornographic novels such as Flesh Blown and Image of the Beast . I was also a little disappointed to find there was only a fleeting glimpse of Farmer's adventure oriented reimaging of Doc Savage, and the traditional Tarzan, who appear as the Apeman and Doc Caliban, the bastard sons of Jack the Ripper, in the novel

Die Geschichte handelt von der sexuellen Beziehung eines Mannes von der Erde zu einem auŸerirdischen Wesen. Zum ersten mal wurde das Thema Sex in eine Science-Fiction-Geschichte eingebunden und verursachte im pr¼den Amerika der 1950er-Jahre einen handfesten Skandal.

Considering the nature of Farmer’s long myth- and legend-oriented career, Spiteri appropriately opens the collection with the category “Myths and Paramyths.” “Myths are to be taken seriously,” Farmer says in the section’s epigraph. “Paramyths are also to be taken seriously, but they have an element of the absurd. But that element is just as serious as the nonabsurd. One becomes the other.” That quote could sum up the driving force behind much of Farmer’s work. The myths presented here are well-known tropes twisted in ways both new and as strange or poignant as Farmer’s readers always expect. “Wolf, Iron, and Moth” is a werewolf tale with Farmer’s take on the overwhelming nature of compulsion. “Opening the Door” is an almost surreal dive into the nature of consciousness in relation to the external world and the dangers inherent when we learn to focus our will a little too well. “The Wounded” sees the tables of love turned on Cupid (not to mention modernizes his methods). “Heel” reveals that the Trojan War was apparently one big setup by extraterrestrial “gods” who were alien filmmakers, and their interference as chronicled in the

An old man named Robert Wolff hears a trumpet call coming from a closet. He thinks he is going senile, but the closet is a portal to another world, filled with Edgar Rice Burroughs style adventures.
