From the Curator
Lucina Press is increasingly recognized for its focus on serious, museum-style scholarship accessible to the general reader. Recent archival work has led to my inclusion as co-author on The Ultimate Cosmos (2025) within the Internet Speculative Fiction Database (ISFDB), with expanded author notes forthcoming.
The Exhibition Hall reflects this ongoing commitment: to present speculative fiction not merely as entertainment, but as a living cultural record.
