The cover story looks pretty wild, too! At first I thought it was going to be a Solomon Kane story. Is it any good?

Sadly, I haven't read it. UNKNOWN had a high consistency of vary good stories, though.

Doc? I just posted a link to an online rendering of "Soldiers of the Black Goat", only to be spamscreened.

Do you know, offhand, of any Van Vogt collections or collections of misc. stories this was reprinted in?

[dochermes]

I read it in a 1960s paperback titled simply MONSTERS, full of van Vogt whackiness. "Not Only Dead Men" was another good one.

This could be one Golden Age SF work that the Shark SyFy Channel might be persuaded to adapt.

Or Disney doing a follow-up to SHARKBOY AND LAVA GIRL?

Take out spaces as necessary.

Oh HO. So simple spaces defeat the Spam Monster?!  I must try this.

It looks like the last time it was reprinted was in 1976, so it seems the only way you can find it is via a used book dealer.
