It is impossible to classify fiction with even the approximate accuracy of an egg-candler, and no doubt many of you would not only come up with a different count but would deny that some of the stories belong in any of these categories; thou art free-GORDON R. DICK­ soN, a master of definitive SF, is here with definitive F; so is HARLAN ELLISON, SO is newcomer FRED BENTON, and the seasoned THEODORE R. COGSWELL; while DEAN MCLAUGHLIN and RAND­ ALL GARRETT present unquestionable space travel SF for your self­ improvement and amusement. So far, so simple. But in which category go the very special FRITZ LEIBER story, KEN CROSSEN'S scientific variation on a fantastic theme, ROSEL BROWN's curious discourse on fungus and female? Fortunately, it is more important for us to publish than to label them. But why label at all? For one thing, because we aim at keeping a certain preponderance of SF in The 1\fagazine, experience having taught us that readers prefer it so. "Give us stories of real Science Fiction," they write; "with a strong story line, vigorously believable characters, and lots of action. When you have done that," they say, "give us some good Fantasy­ Ray Bradbury, Theodore Sturgeon, Tolkien, T. H. White, Richard Matheson, L. Sprague deCamp, and names like that. This is what we would like," they conclude. To which we reply, "So would we." From time to time, we can promise, some of these names will appear here, though not so often as we would like. There is a wry but pleasant tale of a young soldier who deserted the British Army when the Revolutionary \Var was over, and settled in the United States. Until he was close to a hundred he used to appear at Fourth of July celebrations, and make the same brief remark. "I fought hard for this country," he would say; "-hut I didn't get it." Coming soon . , . in fact, next month, is our special THEODORE STURGEON Issue, with a special cover by ED EMSH, special articles on The Master by JAMES BLISH and JUDITH MERRIL, and a special story by Himself. 4 Burton, De Quincey, Waugh, Huxley, and others have ex· plored areas of the world through which Fritz Leiber (drama· tic actor, motion picture star, gentleman, and beloved com· panion of those fortunate enough to number him among their friends) now takes us on an expedition; but none of the above, in their reports, have excelled the beautiful, frightening, heartwarming, and haunting details of THE SECRET SONGS by Fritz Leiber PROMPTLY AFTER SUPPER, BE· tall young cowpoke, father and fore Gwen had cleared away the son, were gazing out across broad dishes, Donnie began the Sleep acres framed bv distant .:noun· Ritual.

  • JUDITH MERRIL-PDF-Sep23-07.Pdf (368.7Kb)
    JUDITH MERRIL: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY AND GUIDE Compiled by Elizabeth Cummins Department of English and Technical Communication University of Missouri-Rolla Rolla, MO 65409-0560 College Station, TX The Center for the Bibliography of Science Fiction and Fantasy December 2006 Table of Contents Preface Judith Merril Chronology A. Books B. Short Fiction C. Nonfiction D. Poetry E. Other Media F. Editorial Credits G. Secondary Sources About Elizabeth Cummins PREFACE Scope and Purpose This Judith Merril bibliography includes both primary and secondary works, arranged in categories that are suitable for her career and that are, generally, common to the other bibliographies in the Center for Bibliographic Studies in Science Fiction. Works by Merril include a variety of types and modes—pieces she wrote at Morris High School in the Bronx, newsletters and fanzines she edited; sports, westerns, and detective fiction and non-fiction published in pulp magazines up to 1950; science fiction stories, novellas, and novels; book reviews; critical essays; edited anthologies; and both audio and video recordings of her fiction and non-fiction. Works about Merill cover over six decades, beginning shortly after her first science fiction story appeared (1948) and continuing after her death (1997), and in several modes— biography, news, critical commentary, tribute, visual and audio records. This new online bibliography updates and expands the primary bibliography I published in 2001 (Elizabeth Cummins, “Bibliography of Works by Judith Merril,” Extrapolation, vol. 42, 2001). It also adds a secondary bibliography. However, the reasons for producing a research- based Merril bibliography have been the same for both publications. Published bibliographies of Merril’s work have been incomplete and often inaccurate.

  • INTERVIEW with ROBERT BLOCH - 1 - by Jean-Marc Lofficier
    INTERVIEW WITH ROBERT BLOCH - 1 - By Jean-Marc Lofficier INTERVIEW WITH ROBERT BLOCH Randy and Jean-Marc Lofficier RL: Who do you consider to be at the root of your inspiration for your writing of terror and horror fiction? RB: Well, I spent eleven years in an advertising agency! Actually, as a child I was interested in reading that sort of thing. But, I was more interested, and I think most imaginative children are, in the mysteries of death, age and cruelty. Why do these things happen? Why do people do these things to one another? An innocent child believes in the protection and security of his daddy and mama, his friends and his safe home environment. Then to read and learn about these things is a great shock. I've done a good deal of talking with many other contemporary writers of this sort of fiction, people like Stephen King, Peter Straub, Richard Matheson and half-a- dozen others. They all had the same experience; they all feel this was their motivation. Some kids don't think about these things particularly, but I did. Particularly when I was hiding under the bed or in the closet after seeing something like Lon Chaney in The Phantom of the Opera for the first time at the age of 8 or 9. I decided, as I guess most of these people did, if you can't lick ‘em, join ‘em. So, I learned the method of what it is that terrifies other people as well. Yet, I tried to do it in a way that is safe.

He also notices strange goings on in the area that changes the look of the local people. Basil Copper Contributor ,. Keirnan has three stories in this anthology, so I decided to review the one that stood out the most to me at the time. The shape of stone carvings of fish men and strange creatures almost frightens him, and a crown that would be something the Dean would want to see. The standard of the stories were generally good but without any truly outstanding contributions. More filters. Pretty weak. Simon Kurt Unsworth dramatises this with a television crew reporting and a cameraman finding unexpected things in the water. Innsmouth Bane, by John Glasby, has Jedediah Allen whose family had settled in Innsmouth back in and prospered until the depression. Stephen Jones is an eighteen-time winner of the British Fantasy Award. Lists with This Book. Book of the Year see all. Details if other :. This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Average rating 3. The main reason I am giving this anthology three stars is because overall not a lot of unique things were done with the Innsmouth theme, something the previous anthology seemed to have done better if my memory is correct. Hugh B. Review by Sandra Scholes. The hard-boiled detective story is often teamed up with horror themes nowadays, usually to good effect.

Absurd, standing here in the dark with a group of tipsy fools, egged on by an obsessed Englishman. And yet there was real terror here . Jack the Ripper had prowled in dark­ ness like this, with a knife, a madman's brain and a madman's purpose. But Jack the Ripper was dead and dust these many years—by every human law . Hollis shrieked; there was a grisly thud. The lights went on. Everybody screamed.
