History
First publication: Astounding, October 1940
Review
A very good story, very funny, and an excellent follow-up to the original Ether Breather. Published a year later, this has the two characters trying to bring the creature back again. The two stories together are great to read. I wonder if more stories could have been added to this series? We’ll never know now. Recommended.
