    1. That is really weird! I could swear it was English when I first found it. Thank you so much, Nicholas, I'll update the post!

  3. Hi Kat! I found all but one of the short story, novelette, and novellas, plus two on the novels, in their original pulp-magazine versions online via the Pulp Magazine Archive collection at the Internet Archive. If you send an e-mail to me at cdh 2060 (all one word) at gmail dot com, I'd be happy to send you a formatted Word doc containing the links so you can add them your original post.
