I stood on a Star Trek transporter and nothing happened

Back in the 60’s my uncle Jerry was a science fiction writer. He had some fame in the 50s as a novelist, and became involved in the motion picture industry. I suspect his career was unfairly stunted by his involvement with HP Lovecraft’s gothic horror novel “The Color out of Space” for Shepperton Studios. The film was released in the US as “Die Monster, Die”, and features the last performance of Boris Karloff. It is also rumored to contain massive amounts of acting under the influence of LSD. As such, it resembles Hertzog’s “Heart of Glass” as much as it does a HP Lovecraft story – not well received at the time, but increasingly well regarded as a cult classic in modern times (rotten tomatos, 71% and rising).

The previous blog by this name was perhaps better looking, but not well funded. This means that it died due to neglect and due to changing priorities and interests. It is now back, with some of the better articles reprised, some new material added, and a new focus on electronic music, modular synthesis, and general instrument making. I think.
