CHRYSALIS

CHRYSALIS
   US original anthology series, 1977-83, 10 vols, ed Roy TORGESON. The first 7 were paperback originals from Zebra Books; the remaining 3 had hardcover first editions from DOUBLEDAY. They were Chrysalis 1 (anth 1977), \#2 (anth 1978), \#3 (anth 1978), \#4 (anth 1979), \#5 (anth 1979), \#6 (anth 1980), \#7 (anth 1980), \#8 (anth 1980), \#9 (anth 1981) and \#10 (anth 1983). Torgeson's editorial policy was eclectic, perhaps too much so; he published sf, fantasy and horror by a mixture of new and established writers. The series title was intended to suggest something developing and changing and about to give birth to beauty. Although C published a number of interesting stories, including four each by Orson Scott CARD and Australian writer Leanne Frahm, it never developed a very strong personality, and it is perhaps surprising (though admirable) that it lasted as long as it did.
