Planet Stories™ presents classic fantasy, science fiction, and science fantasy novels and short story collections to a generation of new readers and lifelong fans. Unforgettable tales from acknowledged masters like Michael Moorcock, Leigh Brackett, C.L. Moore, and Henry Kuttner stand side by side with lesser known but no less worthy yarns from tomorrow's superstars. Introductions from popular modern authors like Joe R. Lansdale, Ben Bova, and Michael Moorcock provide amusing and informative entry points to each book. With new releases every month, Planet Stories promises a master class in the genre aimed at building the greatest fantasy and science fiction library ever assembled.

Paizo Publisher Erik Mona recently discussed the Planet Stories line in an extensive interview with Black Gate Magazine. The interview gives a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Planet Stories, and reveals some surprises about the future of the line.

Here's what the media is saying about Planet Stories:

"…a monthly series that might be called 'Why the Hell Isn't This in Print?' books." —Ryan Harvey, Black Gate Magazine

"It's been a while since anyone published a line of SF and Fantasy 'classics' simply because they were great adventures and fun to read; I wish Paizo all luck with Planet Stories, and I hope it thrives for years to come. This world needs all the pulp it can get!" —Andrew Wheeler, ComicMix.com
