A FICTION HOUSE PRESS BOOK: DREAM WORLD was an experiment by Ziff-Davis Publishing Company and the editors of AMAZING STORIES and FANTASTIC. For three issues in 1957 it lasted before the plug was pulled on the experi-ment. Prior to that, two complete issues of FANTASTIC were devoted to "Dream World" stories, as well as two others stories in another issue. From 1955 and 1956, we present most of those stories.

We present seventeen of the stories which appeared in this fantasy magazine, along with the non-fiction features and cartoons.

Armchair fiction presents extra-large editions of classic science fiction double novels with original illustrations. The first novel, "The Terror Out of Space" is a nail-biting space thriller. Fred Boone was in a no win scenario. He was hunted by agents of a powerful interplanetary cartel; the woman he loved had spurned him; and now he found himself trapped on a distant world surround by alien intelligence-an intelligence that could take the most horrifying creatures from one's worst nightmares and change them into reality. The second novel, "Quest of the Golden Ape," features a space warp to other worlds. A man awakens with no past-no childhood-no recollection except of a vague world steeped in terror from which his mother cried out for vengeance and the slaughter of his own people stood as a monument of infamy. Both novels are filled with terrific science fiction thrills and are penned by three sci-fi veterans, Dwight V. Swain, Ivar Jorgensen, and Adam Chase.
