The Heads of Cerberus (1919) is a science fiction novel by Francis
Stevens. Originally serialized in The Thrill Book, a popular pulp
magazine, The Heads of Cerberus was recognized as "perhaps the
first science fiction fantasy to use the alternate time-track, or
parallel worlds, idea" by anthologist and critic Groff Conklin.
Noted for its satirical tone and dystopian themes, The Head of
Cerberus remains central to Stevens' reputation as a pioneering
author of fantasy and science fiction. In 1918, three friends from
Philadelphia discover a strange powdery substance. Before they can
find out what it is or where it came from, they are transported to
the year 2118. Somehow, the city has come under complete
totalitarian control, forcing the vast majority of its poor
citizens to live in constant fear of death and imprisonment. Names
have been replaced by identification numbers and annual contests
run by the ruthless overseer leave families torn apart by violence
and death. With her eye on the present, writing at a time of war
and increasing political division, Stevens tells a story about a
future both strange and all too familiar, warning her readers about
the dangers of unchecked power through the guise of fantasy and
adventure. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Francis Stevens' The Heads of
Cerberus is a classic work of American science fiction reimagined
for modern readers.
