Description
And All the Girls Were Nude
by Richard Mag
Originally published in Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy, December 1954
Nathanial Evergood is the dullest man in the office—gray, polite, invisible. But behind his unassuming facade lurks an obsession both ingenious and obscene. Alone in his cluttered apartment, he has perfected a camera lens capable of photographing what the eye cannot see: the human body, stripped bare of its coverings.
When his “special lens” works beyond his wildest expectations, Nathanial’s curiosity quickly turns to mania. Street corners become studios, and every passerby a subject. But as his invention evolves from camera to eyeglasses, the boundary between fantasy and exposure dissolves—until one bright afternoon, when his secret invention turns on him in the most humiliating way imaginable.
A forgotten gem of mid-century pulp science fiction, And All the Girls Were Nude is a wickedly clever satire about voyeurism, invention, and the dangers of seeing too much.
