Supplementary Checklists
The following checklists are provided to aid those in search of texts on themes closely related to nuclear war. They are not as comprehensive as the main bibliography (nothing published since 1984, for instance), and are merely suggestions for further study. The reader wondering why a particular item was not listed in the bibliography may well find his or her answer here.
Near-War Narratives
In this checklist, nuclear war is more or less narrowly averted, usually by the thwarting of the schemes of terrorists or nuclear blackmailers. In a few cases, the war seems imminent, but does not actually break out during the story. Many of them are cold-war thrillers in which atomic bombs are used as a suspension-building threat, replacing the older threats of poison gas and the like. Often these novels have little to say about nuclear weapons as such, though some may be interesting to scholars. Many are discussed in Martha A. Bartter's The Way to Ground Zero: The Atomic Bomb in American Science Fiction (Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, 1988).

Science Fiction Fanzines
by Stephen Perkins In April 1926 Hugo Gernsback published "Amazing Stories," the first magazine devoted solely to science fiction. Previous to this time science fiction had appeared only in books or in the large circulation magazines of the period. Losing control of this magazine during the crash of 1929, he returned with two new science fiction magazines which were soon combined into Wonder Stories.
During this same period, and feeling the bite of the Depression, Wonder Stories with the hope of increasing sales started the first...
    ...large-scale science fiction fan club, the Science Fiction League, as a promotion device. It was their hope that they would be able to enroll thousands of members, all of whom would buy every copy of the club's official organ, which of course was Wonder Stories. Their expectations were not realized. Many of the members bought the magazines more or less regularly. But more importantly they invented science fiction fandom....It was through the SFL that local clubs got their first major impetus in forming and staying alive, and from them came everything else. (1)
One thing that came from this coalescence of science fiction fans was the appearance of what in the 1930s were originally known as fan mags, and in later years shortened to the more familiar word fanzine. The general consensus amongst science fiction writers is that The Comet, which came out in 1930 was the first fanzine. As the science fiction fan clubs multiplied so did the fanzines.

Feghoots are Fun in the Pun!
S. Joan Popek
Ferdinand Feghoot made his debut in the "Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction" as the star of the series, "Through Time and Space with Ferdinand Feghoot" for years. Ferdinad was brought to life by Reginald Bretnor (1911-1992) under the pen name, Grendel Briarton. These short-short science fiction stories all ended with a pun. Hence, short stories ending with a PUNchline, became known as Feghoots. Okay, that's the history. So what are they really? A true Feghoot is typically a science fiction short-short story under usually around 300 words but can be stretched to about 500 or so ending in a funny pun that elicits a chuckle or a groan from the reader. They have been referred to as "shaggy dog" stories and (for obvious reasons) "groaners." You know the type. Feghoots are the kind of stories you hear at the bar as you giggle into your martini. Over the years, the genre has faded, and today a Feghoot doesn't necessarily have to be science fiction.
