This is the story of one of the French exployers who left Earth in the 22nd century and currupted a planet.
A very short story about Dante, for him life is no better in riverworld than earth.
This was the first of Farmer's stories that I read and thought "Literature".

Not only were the scattered John Carstairs stories of the early to mid 1940s well-liked by readers of Startling Stories and Thrilling Wonder —the book proved enthralling enough to be picked up for publication in Great Britain, as was The Hounds of Tindalos.
"Dark Vision" was a story of a reporter who falls into an active line at a power plant and ends up gaining a power of insight into the thoughts and emotions of other people, and it was the sort of tale that does not decline with age.
His first story in Weird Tales (November 1924) was "The Desert Lich", a straight Middle-Eastern horror story which showed his love for strange facets of the lands of the ancient world.

 Funny, Startling Stories of War and Loneliness
Two stories of Sarajevo are told: one by Aida, a woman who works for the foreign press in the besieged city, the other by a nameless expatriate in Chicago, unable to return home.
What unfolds is a view of our familiar world made unfamiliar via startling and irreverent imagery, as the naive Pronek becomes the vehicle for Hemon's satire.
In contrast to this quiet anguish, Aida's story, via the letters that never reach this man, burgeons with images from hell: the debris found along a sniper zone -- ``(a) purse, agape like a mouth.

This story is not like one of Azzarello's 100 Bullets or Hellblazer or anything like that.
This is a monster story and Azzarello is doing things differently than other stories.

 Amazon.com: Books: Startling Stories: Banner
The story picks up with Banner's reaction to all the carnage his alter ego has caused, but the reader sympathizes totally with this man who cannot control the monster within him.
Besides being a great Hulk graphic novel, the book is an excellent story for anyone that likes the medium.
As the tale turns more suspenseful, Doc Samson succeeds in tracking down his quarry and capturing him, but the interrelations between Samson, Banner, the Hulk, and General Ross only become deeper and more complex.

Dorkin's script, and Haspiel's visuals, make reference to the parade of colorful foes that the Four have faced, and the story actually contains a fight between the Fantastic Four and the Red Ghost and his Super-Apes.
These days, many of the writers at Marvel prefer to quietly ignore these goofy aspects, but Dorkin clearly cherishes the spirit of the characters, capturing not just the camp appeal of some of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's creations but demonstrating why even adult fans with a fondness for super-heroes can enjoy them.

 Stories Told in Blood A Large & Startling Figure: The Harry Crews Online Bibliography
If you look in collections of short stories, hell, you look in the front of the book to see where those stories are published, they're all published in these little magazines that maybe 200 people read.
He sounded exactly like Harry Crews should sound—the gruff drawl of a man who's seem quite a bit in his day, and who's spent the past three decades telling stories about what he's seen.
I had a bunch of quotes written down, that I planned to sprinkle through the text of the story, but I never got a chance to use them—which is cool, because in the process of talking to him, he cited those same quotes, and quoted them word for word.

 Yale Review of Books: The Torturer's Apprentice
While the subject matter of Biguenet’s stories is often unorthodox and somewhat disquieting, his writing is carefully-crafted and fluid, with graceful descriptions.
In the stories, the O. Henry award winner vividly reveals an outlandish (and often grotesque) imagination and a keen verbal sense.
A modern-day stigmatic, unmoved by religion and perplexed by his mysterious wounds, seeks to heal himself with hydrocortisone cream.

 Startling Stories: The Megalomaniacal Spider-Man
THE STORY: Shortly after he was bitten by a radioactive spider that gave him his strange powers, Peter Parker failed to stop a burglar fleeing from police.
THE SET-UP: "Startling Stories" will force you to re-think Marvel characters you only think you know, asking questions that, let's face it, we've all asked.
When that man went on to murder Peter's beloved Uncle Ben, Peter took it upon himself to atone for his sin of inaction — adopting a mantra instilled in him by his Uncle: "With great power must also come great responsibility." But what if Uncle Ben wasn't all he was cracked up to be?

 Startling Stories
This success with reprints caused companions Fantastic Story Quarterly (later Fantastic Story Magazine) and Wonder Story Annual to appear, essentially as reprint magazines.
The cover artists were H. Brown to May 1940, then E, K, Bergey for most to 1952; Emsh(willer) and Popp also painted many covers.
This magazine was the first companion to Thrilling WOnder Stories ; its policy was to publish long novels (as listed later), plus an exceptional older short story in the "Hall of Fame" section.

Baseball Startling Stories and Records by Jim Benagh is a great book for kids who like baseball.

Little Deaths is a collection of stories on a theme, what Georges Bataille calls in The Tears of Eros, "the coincidence of death and eroticism." In "Becky Lives," Jason Crowder procures the help of a prostitute to have revenge on his ex-wife, who had abandoned him and their two-year old daughter sixteen years ago.
During his apprentice years, Crews claims to have written a "room full" of short stories only to have the majority of them rejected.

The final story is a more serious one, meant to show Corporal Proctor that’s it all about heart, not powers, as Blastaar shows up at the Baxter Building intent on killing a then pregnant Sue.
Combine that with a clever introduction of his classic “It’s clobberin’ time” line and I was won over right there.
Over the course of this issue, Ben tells a young soldier named Charlie Proctor three stories about his life as a superhero.
