Lost Sci-Fi Books 256 thru 260 brings together five wonderfully imaginative stories from Clifford D. Simak, George R. Hahn, William Oberfield, Robert Sheckley, and Charles E. Fritch. From unlikely adventures and bizarre discoveries to sharp twists and situations that spiral completely out of control, this collection showcases the playful and unpredictable side of vintage science fiction.

Mr. Meek Plays Polo by Clifford D. Simak brings back the mild-mannered Mr. Meek, an unlikely hero who once again finds himself caught up in circumstances far removed from his quiet, ordinary existence.

Gangway for Homer by George R. Hahn delivers an unusual adventure with the kind of imaginative premise that made the science fiction magazines of the era such fertile ground for surprising stories.

The Enormous Word by William Oberfield begins with an extraordinary idea and follows it into territory where the familiar quickly gives way to something much stranger.

Proof of the Pudding by Robert Sheckley displays Sheckley’s unmistakable talent for turning a seemingly reasonable situation upside down. Clever, funny, and unpredictable, it’s classic Sheckley.

Skin Game by Charles E. Fritch rounds out the collection with another inventive tale where appearances can be dangerously misleading.

These five stories capture an era when science fiction could be adventurous one moment, humorous the next, and completely unexpected by the final page.
