Ace G-547 (1964). Cover Art by Jack Gaughan
The concept that there may be two or more things occupying the same space at the same time is an idea that is no longer revolutionary in the realm of science-fiction. Yet it may have been promoted first in the pages of the classic novel known as "The Blind Spot," first published in 1921 as a serial in Argosy - All Story Weekly.
When it first appeared in print its impact was tremendous. It established a new standard for imaginative story-telling, for suspense, wonder, excitement. The story of the place where the impossible occurred, the "blind spot" of creation, may have marked the real birth of modern American science fiction.
What would happen if two things occupied the same place at the same time -- even such a small space as a single room in a modest house in California? And if those two things happened to be two worlds -- this one and . . . another? "The Blind Spot" is one of the earliest novels of parallel worlds.
