Sladek was also known for his brief parodies of other sf writers, such as Isaac Asimov , Arthur C. Clarke , and Cordwainer Smith . A strict materialist, Sladek subjected dubious science and the occult to merciless scrutiny in '' The New Apocrypha '' and, under the name of James Vogh, wrote '' Arachne Rising '', which purports to be a nonfiction account of a thirteenth sign of the zodiac suppressed by the scientific establishment, in an attempt to demonstrate that people will believe anything. He also co-wrote two pseudonymous novels with his friend Thomas M. Disch , the Gothic ''The House that Fear Built'' (as Cassandra Knye) and the satirical thriller '' Black Alice '' (as Thom Demijohn). Sladek returned from England to Minnesota in 1986 , where he lived until his death in 2000 from Pulmonary Fibrosis . SELECTED WORKS Science Fiction Novels
