DF THINGS BEYOND
C
oming
up in the next issue of Unknown is, as a sort of appropriate relief
from the calculated and teasing uncertainty of Jack Williamson's current “Darker
Than You Think”—a humor fantasy. One of the pleasant possibilities of fantasy
is that it can include all the field of more hidebound literature, and add a number
of touches of its own.
“The Mislaid Charm” is an example of what can be done with fantasy on the
wackey side. A. M. Phillips did a rather lovely job on a tale of a gnome that stole
his tribal charm, got pressed unpleasantly closely, and cached the charm in the
breast of an unsuspecting human.
The trouble is, the human was unsuspecting; the charm had itself a lovely
time, and the recipient had a time that would have been thoroughly miserable if
he’d been sober enough to know it. A thoroughly remarkable charm—and yarn.
Also coming is a Theodore Sturgeon yarn called “Shottle Bop.”
Sturgeon
has a nice idea about a vanishing store with a sign reading only “Shottle Bop—
We Sell Bottles With Things In Them.” The sign, it seems, was more informa­
tive than first glance would suggest. The tale concerns a gentleman who bought
one of the Bottles With Things In Them.
