ppint. ● 10th Aug 2024		Book R. A. Lafferty - Apocalypses (1977)	pinnacle / futorian science fiction was a brief pinnacle books series edited by roger elwood from end 1977-mid 1978; his somewhat restrictive version of christianity may have contributed to its brevity. pinnacle books' manglement may've intended to extend their "futorian" series into the sub-imprint for all of their sf titles, but this did not happen - and roger elwood's career as the most active original sf anthologist of his time also collapsed, with some established sf (& fantasy) editors taking over the work on a number of his then uncompleted projects already sold to various publishers.
ppint. ● 10th Aug 2024		Book Raymond F. Jones - Weeping May Tarry (1978)	pinnacle's rather brief - five titles - futorian science fiction series did not evolve into an imprint. this may have had a little - or somewhat more than a little - to do with roger elwood's christian beliefs.
