A Foray into Forry's World

Take a trip to the very edges of science fiction history and culture, and maybe a bit over the edge, when you visit the home page of one of the most beloved men in SF, horror, and fandom: Forrest J. Ackerman. Forry--or 4E--has been around since science fiction was a puppy: this man has a book personally autographed to him by H.P. Lovecraft, along with a collection of roughly 49,999 other books. Take a highly entertaining tour of his online home, and examine his vast collection of SF/horror memorabilia, historic works, original art, unique autographs and quirky collector's items. Check his list of favorite links, or visit "The Vault" of SF and horror movie memorabilia, including the arm of The Thing, from the 1951 movie, and the head of Dorian Gray, which was created by makeup master Dick Smith. Forry has been Mister Monster for decades--just ask him. He turned 83 last month, and is still traveling to conventions and contributing to several magazines.
