That was the market in porn novels for you. A bit like
complaining
that crime fiction got too violent as hardboiled arose.
Geis, who has been a prolific sf fan publisher indeed, saw
his 1960s
PSYCHOTIC become SCIENCE FICTION REVIEW, then he briefly let
someone
else issue a different magazine with that title, then in 1973
put
out three issues of RICHARD E. GEIS mostly as a
"personalzine" about
his own life, which became with its fourth issue a more
reviews and
critical-article- laden THE ALIEN CRITIC and shortly
thereafter
SCIENCE FICTION REVIEW again...as with the late Bill
Bowers's
OUTWORLDS, Andy Porter's ALGOL (later STARSHIP) and Tom
Reamy's
TRUMPET and such later titles as THRUST/QUANTUM and SCIENCE
FICTION
EYE, only perhaps more ferociously than any of those others,
SFR and
TAC were crossroads publications for those in sf who were
both
serious about sf and interested in relatively informal
prose
(analogous to THE ARMCHAIR DETECTIVE and similar ambitious
cf
reviews).
Geis still publishes, most accessibly through
eFanzines.com:
