New classic sci-fi short story collections in extra large (8" by 5.25") paperback size. "Masters of Science Fiction, Vol. Two" features the works of Jerome Bixby, who was one of the best known sci-fi authors of the twentieth century. Not just an exceptional short story writer, Jerome Bixby was also editor of the pulp magazine favorite, “Planet Stories,” from 1950 to 1951. In the 1960’s he added screenwriting to his list of achievements. “It’s a Good Life” was used in the original “Twilight Zone” series. He also wrote four “Star Trek” episodes and it was his distinct imagination that initiated the “mirror universe” concept.
