Tom's eBooks 2021 Henry Louis Hasse (February 7, 1913 – May 20, 1977) was an American science fiction author and fan. He is probably known best for being the co-author of Ray Bradbury's first professionally published story, "Pendulum", which appeared in November 1941 in Super Science Stories. Hasse co-authored two more published stories with Bradbury: "Gabriel's Horn" (1943) and "Final Victim" (1946). Hasse's novelette "He Who Shrank" is anthologized in both the classic 1946 collection Adventures in Time and Space, edited by Raymond J. Healy and J. Francis McComas, and in Isaac Asimov's memoir of 1930s science fiction Before the Golden Age.

"And it\'s really up to ECAIAC, isn\'t it? A Prime can be negated, while on the other hand a variant can shift from possible to Logical to Prime. Or am I wrong? I\'ve never been up on the mechanics." Arnold grunted. "There\'s bound to be some correlatory shift! The Primes--how many did you say?" "Three as of now." Arnold rose abruptly, then strode to the alco-mech and dialled himself another drink. He took an uncommonly long time about it. "Look," he said, "we both know about these things! In a case like this there are bound to be political repercussions--" He hit Beardsley with a gauging glance. "Well," he blurted, "I have to admit I\'m damn curious! Mind telling me who are the three Primes? Ah--strictly off the record, you understand." Beardsley had expected something like this, and he was quite ready to answer; bu

If Henry Hasse (1913–1977) is remembered today, it is probably as the co-author of Ray Bradbury's first published story, "Pendulum," which appeared in November 1941 in Super Science Stories. He published only one novel, The Stars Will Wait, from a minor publisher in 1968. From the late 1930s to the early 1950s, however, he was a frequent and popular author in the pulp science fiction magazines, publishing more than 50 adventure stories such as the ones presented here. One, "He Who Shrank," was anthologized in the seminal science fiction anthology, Adventures in Time and Space, edited by Raymond J. Healy and J. Francis McComas. (If the title sounds familiar, you might also have read it in Isaac Asimov's anthology, Before the Golden Age.) He published his last two stories—probably unsold tales from his pulpster years—in Whispers in the 1970s.Included are:THE BEGINNINGTHE STAR OF SATANALCATRAZ OF THE STARWAYSREVENGE OF THE VERASTAR OF...
