Imaginative Tales, November 1957

This issue of Imaginative Tales (November 1957) contains six science fiction stories alongside advertisements and features. The cover feature is Edmond Hamilton's novella "The Ship From Infinity" (20,000 words), depicting an encounter with a vast, ancient derelict spacecraft orbiting beyond Pluto. Farrel recalls his crew's expedition to the mysterious alien vessel: he, Heyerman, Victor, and Croy approach The Ship to claim salvage rights. Inside its enormous, lightless chambers, they discover exotic crystalline objects. When Heyerman strikes a specimen with a hammer, a blue flash kills him instantly. The remaining stories—"Truckstop" by Hog Phillips, "The Android Kill" by Alexander Blade, "Deathtrap Planet" by Randall Garrett, "Get Off My Planet!" by Tom W. Harris, and "Housemaid No. 103" by Ivor Jorgensen—are science fiction shorts. The issue also includes departments for cartoons, reader letters, and film reviews.
