h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Zombie Month ? a recipe for ghoul'ash then

I haven't read "A crystal age," but I remember a similar plot from a short story where a Civil War soldier wakes up from his grave a century later.

But this is getting off topic. Sorry.

Here's an announcement, if I may be so bold:

Zaphod Beeblebrox (Sam Rockwell) won an Academy Award last night.

good news

On post 43, title and author?

Hudson is an important early pioneer of science fiction.

Morbid fears of falling in love are a frequent undercurrent in his work.

On post 44, good to know that!

But I haven't finished last week's Post.

Oh, all right, I'll read the new edition and start lots of conversations which will still be running long after I'm gone.

Paul you can always look up the last issue of 'The Post' in the archive--just see that at the bottom of the page. All the editors of this webzine aren't librarians but they are fastidious about archiving ALL the issues so no great stuff is lost.

The old Post issue hasn't gone away, Paul. In fact, no Post issue ever goes away...I'm glad you mentioned that, because now I get to remind everyone about Back Issues.

They're all listed here, in the Back Issues archive:

https://h2g2.com/entry/A728732

19 years' worth of glorious drivel at your fingertips! It's a stroll through history. Well worth a visit.

And btw: there's always a link to the most current Back Issue page at the bottom of each and every page of the h2g2 Post - and has been for years, staring everyone in the face...from the current page, 'tis but a mouseclick to the Mother Lode, the master archive list of Back Issues pages.

...it's almost like, er, a Library Thing...

There are no Vashta Nerada lurking in there, promise...

Apparently, it's also the best-kept secret on the site.

I plead guilty tom not thinking about the Post until someone reminds me about it. I've just started conversations about this issue .

The truth is, I probably won;'t go back to previous issues, just as I don't go out of my way to see movies I missed when they were in theaters in my area. Human flesh can only do so much....

Could you include links to the Post FP please, for those of us who are more comfortable in Ripley?

I would be delighted to, TC - thanks for the suggestion!

This week's is A87905686
