Sounds like good stuff.

It's a fun story, if a bit primitive by modern standards. There is much better material to come.

Right now I'm reading a story called "Hands Across the Void" that involves a Titanian scientist traveling to Earth 10,000 years from now only to find a primitive human civilization that works in harmony with super-intelligent giant ants.

As Bill O'Reilly would say, "That's what I'M talkin' about!"

I would imagine people could tell he was above ordinary, with the top class first story, The Graveyard Rats - 1936 I think?

Should be able to get this one - it is in the Greenberg/Silverberg Horror Hall of Fame anthology.

Yeah, I'll track it down eventually.

Chaosium's Kuttner anthology, The Book of Iod, contains 5 of the 11 stories preceding this one. I'm borrowing that one from bigfootcountry as soon as he remembers to bring it into the office.

Didn't know about that book! Will have to add it to the list. Sounds good.
