A Trip to Hell
Revision as of 16:45, 27 January 2021 by Leah Zeldes Smith (talk | contribs)
A one-shot perzine published by Robert Jennings and D. Bruce Berry describing a feud and lawsuit which soured Berry on fandom.
Starting in 1958, Berry began sending bizarre letters to fan and publisher Earl Kemp. Berry was soon committed to a mental institution from which he was released in 1960. In 1962, however, apparently timed to embarrass Kemp as Chairman of Chicon III, Berry and Jennings published A Trip to Hell, telling a story about the events in 1958 and accusing Kemp and Harlan Ellison of attacking Berry on the street in Chicago ... at a time that Kemp was at the Worldcon in LA. The whole affair is difficult to understand, but one consequence is that Berry and Jennings more or less gafiated.
