The MIT Press’s Radium Age is reissuing notable proto–science fiction stories from the underappreciated era between 1900 and 1935. In these forgotten classics, science fiction readers will discover the origins of enduring tropes like robots (berserk or benevolent), tyrannical supermen, dystopian wastelands, sinister telepaths, and eco-catastrophes.

The Heads of Cerberus and Other Stories by Francis Stevens is the newest book in the series. Francis Stevens, the pseudonym of Gertrude Barrows Bennett, is celebrated as “the woman who invented dark fantasy.” Bennett’s work has anticipated everything from the work of Philip K. Dick to Superman comics to The Hunger Games, making it as relevant now as it ever was.
