This isn’t a review, just a short note to mention that I’ve swapped the “1944 Retro Hugos” page that was in the menu above for a “1945 Retro Hugos” one. This page has a sortable table of stories that are eligible for next year’s (2020) Retro Hugo awards. More importantly, it has links to copies of the stories on the Internet Archive if you want to read them.

1944 (the qualifying year for the 1945 Retro Hugos) features, among other works, Olaf Stapledon’s Sirius, Theodore Sturgeon’s Killdozer, C. L. Moore’s No Woman Born, Fredric Brown’s Arena, a couple of ‘Foundation’ tales from Isaac Asimov, four of Clifford D. Simak’s ‘City’ series (including Huddling Place and Desertion) and many, many stories from Ray Bradbury. Add your favourites in the comments below (as well as anything I haven’t listed*).

* I’m still adding publications but hope to complete it soon (blame the delay on my other job as a part-time butler for two cats).
