I re-read <i>Wolfbane</i> for the first time in many years just last summer; it was every bit as good as I remembered -- maybe even better, now that I've a bit more experience and (hopefully) maturity to bring to my side of the writer/reader equation. Not to gush, but it's no exaggeration for me to say that I've read plenty of sf by authors who spent three times as many words trying to convey a fraction of <i>Wolfbane</i>'s imagination and originality.

Van Vogt's wife was E. Mayne Hull, who wrote a number of short stories and several novels (the latter in collaboration with van Vogt). And I've never heard Leigh pronounced as "lie". "Lee", yes. "Lay", yes. But not "lie". Susan, Leigh Brackett was married to Edmond Hamilton, not van Vogt. Van Vogt’s wife was E.
