Bibliographic comments for Sydney J. Van Scyoc

Reconcile shortfiction bibliography

I Compared the summary bibliography against the author's bibliography at http://www.tdl.com/~sjvan/biblio2.htm

For the most part everything matched except:

• Author has Pollony Undiverted (1963) while ISFDB has verified Pollony Undiverted.
• Author has Aberrant listed as June 1973. This appeared in the June 1974 issue of Analog Magazine.
• Author has No Death so Lonely in the Jan 1965 Worlds of Tomorrow. The title is verified in ISFDB as The Dead Ones in that issue.
• Author has A Man, A House in Fantastic Magazine, August 1963. That issue of Fantastic has Cornie on the Walls by Sydney Van Scyoc. It's not clear if:
  • Is this the same story?
  • The author's bibliography lists a reprint in Strange Worlds of Fantasy, Summer 1969 which ISFDB does not have. I was unable to locate an on line reference to this magazine.
  • Is this related to One Man's Dream which appeared in The Magazine Of Fantasy And Science Fiction November 1964?

I've e-mailed the author who hopefully can let us know if corrections are needed. --Marc Kupper|talk 22:55, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
