The Goggles of Dr. Dragonet by Fritz Leiber - To those who wear the goggles of Dr. Dragonet there is another world-of mystery, joy and, yes, terror...
Fritz Leiber (1910-1992) was an American writer and a master of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Best known for pioneering the sword-and-sorcery subgenre with his Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories, Leiber blended adventure with psychological depth and humor. His early influences included H.P. Lovecraft and Shakespeare, which shaped his literary style.
Leiber's science fiction often explored themes of existential dread, time travel, and cosmic horror, exemplified in works like The Big Time (1958), which won him his first Hugo Award. He was also a key figure in popularizing urban fantasy with Our Lady of Darkness (1977). Beyond fiction, Leiber was a skilled chess player, actor, and film enthusiast. His career spanned six decades, earning multiple Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Awards. His innovative storytelling and genre-defying works continue to inspire modern fantasy and sci-fi writers, securing his legacy as one of the greats of speculative fiction.
