This is a collection of seven short science fiction novels by Philip K. Dick written in the 1950s. Philip Kindred Dick was an American novelist, short story writer, and essayist whose published work during his lifetime was almost entirely in the science fiction genre. This early time period from Dick's life was a difficult and impoverished time for him. He sold his first story in 1951. The seven stories in this collection were written by Dick for several popular science fiction and fantasy magazines that were published in the 1950s. These stories are selected from more than 120 short science fiction novels that he wrote for the magazines. The seven stories are "Beyond Lies the Wub", "Beyond the Door", "The Crystal Crypt", "The Defenders", "The Eyes Have It", "The Gun", and "The Skull". It is a pleasure to collect and publish these stories in this new, high quality, and affordable edition.
