“Strange Vision”
1937-05-00
short story
By Eando Binder

Synopsis

A man is born with an ability to see into the ultraviolet, somehow allowing him to see things that others can’t and to “see” into people’s minds.

History

First publication: Astounding May 1937

Review

The story is told in the first person. After a too long explanation of his ability to see what other people can’t, we finally have a detective story that only lasts a couple of pages and isn’t very interesting. While I like that the Binders put more effort into building the character than most other SF stories of the time, the story just isn’t at all compelling.
