Praise

“I’ve been particularly looking forward to this installment of the [Radium Age] series.”
— Andrew Liptak, Transfer Orbit


In Praise of the Radium Age Series:

“Joshua Glenn’s admirable Radium Age series [is] devoted to early- 20th-century science fiction and fantasy.” 
The Washington Post

“Long live the Radium Age.”
The Los Angeles Times

“It’s an attractive crusade. […] Glenn’s project is well suited to providing an organizing principle for an SF reprint line, to the point where I’m a little surprised that I can’t think of other similarly high-profile examples of reprint-as-critical-advocacy. ”
The Los Angeles Review of Books

“Neglected classics of early 20th-century sci-fi in spiffily designed paperback editions.”
The Financial Times

“New editions of a host of under-discussed classics of the genre.”
Tor.com

“Shows that ‘proto-sf’ was being published much more widely, alongside other kinds of fiction, in a world before it emerged as a genre and became ghettoised.”
BSFA Review

“A huge effort to help define a new era of science fiction.”
Transfer Orbit

“An excellent start at showcasing the strange wonders offered by the Radium Age.”
Maximum Shelfs
