Fun for all! It's the Astro-Word puzzle from Horoscope magazine, Nov. 1975! Theme: authors and their birth signs.

It's gossips and guignol as author Susan Roberts mixes with the mid-century witchy set, proving that no matter how mystic you hold yourself, someone's always gonna piss in the casserole ... Witch out with this newly scanned WITCHES USA (1971) by me! archive.org/details/witc...

Cover art for WITCHES USA has the statue of liberty holding up a broomstick and a moggy, with a giant pentagram star on the moon!

4: A full upload and capsule (heh) review of Warren Smith and Brad Steiger's 1965 drug scare title THE MENACE OF PEP PILLS! This one's so early that Steiger is writing under his birth name of Eugene Olson! paperbackgods.blogspot.com/2025/01/the-...

Cute photo spread cover with a bunch of different vintage pills spilled out of a bottle under the title.

Cool painted cover in the UK style, of a panspermic germ cloud flowing through space to the Earth!

Table of contents including chapters titled Ultraviolet Laser from Tau Ceti? and Thermonuclear Devastation of Planet X!

2: A full upload and capsule review of the anti-von Daniken SOME TRUST IN CHARIOTS from 1972 - note how Lancer books presents this as just another Chariots knockoff, and not the critical, academic volume it really is! paperbackgods.blogspot.com/2025/01/some...

Classic Chariots style cover with big bold text and not much else!

Nice table of contents with different experts tackling various von Daniken rubbish!

Nooooo reason at all ... 😏 (Dan Vadis was always my favorite strongman)

Cohen's COLISEUM earns 2/4 for okay thrills. If Basil Jackon's work was hearty vacation fare, then Coliseum is the soggy egg salad sandwich you choke down at the train station ...

Striking for American readers 50 years later, the staff discover spent shells, bullet holes in seats, and cryptic notes ... and then wonder if maybe they should do something! Like, yeah you should!!! The sniper is a pretty good character though.

There's too many cardboard characters on staff at the Coliseum, though the Swami, rocker Skanky Baggs (not Shanky as the inside cover typos) and crooked hot dog vendor Fuzzi are all interesting.

Cohen does better than he did with his crocodile schlock NIGHT OF THE TOY DRAGONS, but barely!

His ad for Search shares space with 2 other big titles, Flying Saucer Pilgrimage - a road trip contactee review - and Other Tongues, Other Flesh. Tongues author Williamson was an odd one, first coming into the UFO scene thru the fascist William Pelley's cult -

First post! Some COSMIC DEBRIS from Fate magazine, May 1959, as former editor Ray Palmer places ads for his new magazines Flyings Saucers and Search (originally Mystic), as well as a plug for a hair dye/dandruff remover called Turn-er's! His FS ad is topped with an eye catching offer for chili!
