LEADING CZECH SCI-FI AUTHOR Josef Nesvadba (1926-2005) was part of the wildly popular speculative fiction wave that flourished in Czechoslovakia during the early twentieth century. As a pioneer in group psychotherapy, Nesvadba's stories harness the West's fascination with emerging psychological trends and the horrors of Nazism, not yet left behind. As a skeptic of the communist regime moving through Czechlosavakia, Nesvadba also used his short stories to satirize the government's grandiose dreams of paradise. These stories first appeared in Urwin's translation of Vampires Ltd. in 1964 but appear here for the first time in a volume of their own.
