Short Science Fiction

Description

Noel Loomis was a prolific writer of short fiction for popular pulp magazines from the 1930s into the 1970s. While he wrote many western novels and some western short fiction, the majority of his short-form work was science fiction.

Loomis’s science fiction is distinct from many of his contemporaries in that while he certainly wrote stories about space travel and futuristic military action, his stories more often imagined the future evolution of blue-collar professions, including (and especially) his own professional background in as a Linotype machine operator.

In Loomis’s science fiction readers will find the typical kinds of tales of futuristic war, time travel, and interplanetary exploration that one expects from pulp science fiction of the era; but just as often, they’ll encounter stories of futuristic parking garage logistics, personal injury litigation, and even bending the laws of time and space to meet publishing deadlines.
