    About this ebook

    William Morrison (Joseph "Joe" Samachson (October 13, 1906 – June 2, 1980) was an American scientist and author, primarily of science fiction and comic books. He also wrote non-fiction under his own name. In the days of the pulp magazines of the 1930’s, 1940’s and 1950’s there were many gems of SF published that somehow were never anthologized or reprinted. Very few of Joseph Samachsons` stories were ever anthologized. The 34 stories assembled in this massive volume include:
    Bad Medicine (1941)
