About Judith Merril
The late Judith Merril is considered one of the most prolific authors and editors in the field of Science Fiction. Born in New York in 1923, she founded the Futurians, a group of SF writers and editors. Her first SF story, 'That Only a Mother,' was published in 1948. Judith edited numerous SF anthologies including Dell’s Year’s Best SF from 1956-1967, and was the 'Books' columnist for The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction from 1965-69. She helped to establish Toronto's Rochdale College library (based largely on her own private collection) which is now known as The Merril Collection. Judith founded the speculative fiction writers group Hydra North in 1984, and was awarded two Canadian Science Fiction Lifetime Achievement Awards: for contributions to the field and for achievements in editing. She passed away September 12, 1997 from complications following an angiogram. She is sorely missed by her fans and fellow writers. [MORE]

“Tesseracts is a provocative, exciting and extraordinarily varied exercise in what could be described as the mind's fourth dimension — imagination.” — The Toronto Star
