Matthew Wayne Selznick

Thanks for bringing Ray Bradbury to New York and bootstrapping his career.

Thanks for Famous Monsters of Filmland.

Thanks for “sci-fi.”

Thanks for the Ackermansion.

Thanks for the everything.

I never knew you, but wow, how you changed my life. You were there at the beginning, long before I was born, and you were there when I was a kid, sparking my imagination through all the incredible authors and films and lives you touched. I wish I’d made it to see you before you left, so I could say thank you in person.

Say hello to Wendayne, Isaac, Bob, Arthur, John, Hugo and everyone else… there’s a heck of a meeting of the Science Fiction Society going on, right now, somewhere…
