| Summary | "Astounding Stories, March, 1931" by Various is a collection of speculative fiction short stories written in the early 20th century. The collection features diverse tales that explore themes of adventure, science, and the unknown, often showcasing unexpected twists and imaginative scenarios typical of early science fiction. Notable stories in this issue include "When the Mountain Came to Miramar," which follows Garry Connell as he encounters prehistoric savages and unearths ancient secrets, and "Beyond the Vanishing Point," where characters are drawn into a miniature world within an atom of gold. At the start of the collection, "When the Mountain Came to Miramar" introduces Garry Connell, who witnesses an earthquake that uncovers a hidden passage within Sentinel Mountain. As he climbs the mountain to investigate, he stumbles upon a carved entrance and finds relics of an ancient civilization. The narrative intensifies as he grapples with both the eerie atmosphere and the discovery of skeletal remains, setting the stage for a confrontation that awakens not only the physical threats within the mountain but also the deep-seated fears tied to humanity's past and present. Throughout, Connell faces savage beings as well as the strange allure of a mystical heritage linked to lost civilizations. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
