Hawk Carse Short Stories
Under the pseudonym of Anthony Gilmore, Harry Bates wrote the following stories in the Hawk Carse series with Desmond W. Hall, collected in Space Hawk: The Greatest of Interplanetary Adventurers (New York: Greenberg, 1952):
- "Hawk Carse", Astounding, November, 1931
- "The Affair of the Brains", Astounding, March, 1932
- "The Bluff of the Hawk", Astounding, May, 1932
- "The Passing of Ku Sui", Astounding, November, 1932
Boucher and McComas described the 1952 collection as "strongly commended to all connoisseurs of prose so outrageously bad as to reach its own kind of greatness.". P. Schuyler Miller described the stories as "space opera of the old, raw, gloves-off school every cliche of the period," concluding "Hawk Carse was so bad that he was almost good." Everett F. Bleiler characterized the series as "traditional pulp Western stories transplanted into space, with the addition of an Oriental villain in the mode of Sax Rohmer's Dr. Fu-Manchu."
Ten years later, Amazing Stories printed the final Hawk Carse novel, written by Bates alone. This story has never been collected or reprinted.
- "The Return of Hawk Carse", Amazing, July, 1942

“Once it chanced that I stood in the very abutment of a rainbow’s arch, which filled the lower stratum of the atmosphere, tinging the grass and leaves around, and dazzling me as if I looked through colored crystal. It was a lake of rainbow light, in which, for a short while, I lived like a dolphin. If it had lasted longer it might have tinged my employments and my life.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“No record ... can ... name the women of talent who were so submerged by child- bearing and its duties, and by “general housework,” that they had to leave their poems and stories all unwritten.”
