Publisher's Synopsis
In 1969 a member of the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society (PSFS) and Science Fiction Writers of America (SFWA), Richard E. Peck helped a group of Temple University students to organize a class in Science Fiction. That same year he published the first of his 30+ stories, 2/3 of them SF. Readers have called them action tales, minimalism, exercises in sociology, and early "slipstream" . . . a term he'd never heard till his novel Schmidt's Mill (2011) drew the same accolade. He thought he was telling SF stories to his kids. Old-fashioned? Vintage? You decide.
