Read Download
A groundbreaking science fiction novelette from the early days of Galaxy magazineā€”plus a new foreword by Paul Di Filippo.
 
Appearing in the second issue of Galaxy dated November 1950, Honeymoon in Hell showcased the magazine's distinctive identity as opposed to other publications of its timeā€”darker, more socially aware, sometimes sexually frank in ways that were shocking for the era. Dealing with copulation and its desired consequences, Honeymoon in Hell avoided euphemismsā€”and used a satirical attack that parodied magazine taboos.
 
The covers of pulp magazines depicted monsters putting near-naked females in peril, but the narratives under the cover offered no equivalent. Brown's hastily married couple, sent to the moon to see if they can breed a male childā€”all births on Earth over recent months having been femaleā€”encounter problems emotional as well as practical. This book includes both the landmark novelette and a new foreword by Paul Di Filippo.
