The Other Side of the Moon is an anthology of science fiction stories edited by American writer August Derleth.

[1][2][3] In 1951, The New York Times reported that The Other Side of the Moon had become the first science fiction title to be included in the Talking Books program.

[4] Kirkus Reviews praised the original volume as "A collection of recent supersonic science fiction, not only from magazines devoted solely to this type of reading but even from nationally known periodicals".

[5] New Worlds reviewer Leslie Flood found the British hardcover to be "Neither distinguished nor mediocre, but a reasonable addition to your bookshelf for future browsing".

[7] P. Schuyler Miller, reviewing the Berkley paperback, noted that Derleth was "conservative and literary in his SF tastes, Lovecrafty in his fantasy".
