Summer Writing Contest. In June of 2020, we hosted our Summer Writing Contest in partnership with The Write Practice. The theme was Isolation . Alone in a room. Alone in the world. Trapped together. Or . free from other people? Wherever your story goes, and however many characters pass through it, be sure to incorporate isolation. WINNERS OF THE SUMMER WRITING CONTEST. We received hundreds of excellent submissions. After much deliberation, our judges selected the following winning stories: Grand Prize: Dark Time by Demi LeJeune Runners Up (alphabetized by author): The Aisle by Stacey Barnes A Study in Cashmere by Joslyn Chase​ Honorable Mentions (alphabetized by author): Crowds of Light by Ryan Freeman Behind Her Mask by Sharon Hetherington Freedom by Jordy Hines Eleven Birthdays by Erica Roberts​ Should Have Waited by Carole Wolfe. SHORTLISTED STORIES. There were so many good stories in this contest, the judges were hard-pressed to narrow their selections to just a handful of winners. While the following stories didn’t win a prize, the judges noted them as some of their favorites. Alone with All You’ve Created by H.P. Borley Sequestered in Grief by des Anges Cruser The Closet Door by Christy DeRienzis Alistair In Isolation by Lisa Hoenisch The Doors by Kacy Hogg The Three of Us by F T Jackson The Outside by Alex Klarke Annie by Chris LaRoche Shadows of the Chateau d’If by Darrell Eugene McGuire Low Tide by Anita Merriman Unlocked by Ashlyn McKayla Ohm Decay by April Renee Russell Womb by Kerri Scott. READERS’ CHOICE AWARD. As the judges sifted through the entries, we invited you to vote for your favorite story to win the Readers’ Choice Award. The winner of the Readers’ Choice Award is Till the Last Breath by Bisan Mourad. Congratulations, Bisan! JUDGES. At Short Fiction Break, we believe there are two groups of stars in every writing contest. The first group is obvious: all the writers who enter their stories, who bravely offer their writing for critique, judging, and publication. The second group is less obvious, but equally important: the contest judges, working hard behind the scenes to read every story and select a handful of the very best. This contest was judged by a panel of two judges, an author and editor team.

En el ámbito estrictamente universitario, di mis primeros pasos hacia el trabajo de investigación que hoy les presento en la Universidad Pompeu Fabra, donde cursé, entre las calles Balmes y Ramon Trias Fargas, la licenciatura en Humanidades. El hado o mi más discreta voluntad quisieron que iniciara los cursos de doctorado en la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, donde hoy concluyo felizmente un camino repleto de encuentros. Entre la gente que he encontrado están aquellos que apenas cruzaron un amable saludo conmigo y aquellos otros que hicieron un alto en su camino y conversaron, apaciblemente, con el modesto autor de estas líneas. A todos ellos les agradezco cuanto me ofrecieron y confío en haber podido ofrecerles yo, a mi vez, algo más que hueros e intrascendentes vocablos o, como escribiera el gran bardo inglés, palabras, palabras, palabras,... Entre aquellos que me ayudaron a hacer camino se encuentra en lugar destacado el profesor Javier Antón Pelayo que siempre me atendió y escuchó serenamente mis propuestas, por muy extrañas que resultaran.

    EURAMERICA Vol. 39, No. 1 (March 2009), 1-27 http://euramerica.ea.sinica.edu.tw/ © Institute of European and American Studies, Academia Sinica On At the Mountains of Madness —Enveloping the Cosmic Horror Chia Yi Lee Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures National Chiao Tung University 1001 University Road, Hsinchu 30010, Taiwan E-mail: [email protected] Abstract As the culmination of H. P. Lovecraft’s late style in delineating the cosmic horror, At the Mountains of Madness poses several questions, the most interesting of which may concern the story’s narrative efficacy in evoking horror that has been presented in the form of science fiction or, to be more precise, in scientific realism. The pivot of this narrative revolves round the novelette’s central sections (7 and 8) where a genealogy of the sentient entities that precede humans’ earthly emergence is recorded. Whether the genealogical enveloping of the cosmic other can summon up the cosmic horror as is textually intended, and what function the enveloping plays against the backdrop of the story as a whole—these will be the main concerns of this paper. Key Words: horror, science, supplementarity Received April 7, 2008; accepted June 10, 2008; last revised July 10, 2008 Proofreaders: Jeffrey Cuvilier, Hsueh-mei Chen, Chia-chi Tseng, Ying-tzu Chang 2 EURAMERICA I H. P. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness is one of his longest works, at around 50,000 words, which would have made it suitable for publication as a single-volume novelette. Yet ironically, by the time of Lovecraft’s death in 1937, only one book with his name stamped on cover had been published (Joshi, 1999: 264).

Elliott,David Stuart Davies | 608 pages | 05 Jun 2011 | Wordsworth Editions Ltd | 9781840226676 | English | Herts, United Kingdom 13 Spooky Short Stories By Women That You Can Read Right Now For decades, an old Providence church has stood empty, silently looming in the city's skyline. As a young writer looks into the history of the abandoned church — and the cult that once resided there — he stirs an ancient horror. Will he be able to finally solve an unspeakable mystery, or has he merely paved the way to become its next victim? This episode is an adaptation of HPL's last story. It is the favorite tale of many Lovecraft fans, and its themes of immigration and xenophobia, religious freedom and newspaper sensationalism seem shockingly relevant today. You'll get: a clipping from the Providence Telegram about riots outside the Starry Wisdom church on Federal Hill a letter The Haunter of the Dark: Collected Short Stories the Vatican to a concerned priest of Providence a page of notes deciphering a cryptic passage from an unholy book of the Church of Starry Wisdom, including an illustration of the Shining Trapezohedron a letter by Robert Blake praising a certain Providence author of weird fiction for pre-order customers only: the press identification card of Edwin M.

  • Multi-Media Reviews
    Page 84 MULTI­MEDIA REVIEWS Batman: Arkham Reborn Writer: David Hine , Artist: Jeremy Haun (Publisher: DC Comics, 2010) Gotham City is a fitting home for its guardian – Batman lurks in the recesses of its distinctive architecture, camouflaging himself among the gargoyles and grotesques. Gotham’s cityscape is one of the most developed of all fictional locations: for the series No Man’s Land (1999) a detailed map of the city was produced, its rivers, bridges and streets named after DC Comics’ most beloved artists and writers. Undoubtedly, one of the most famous buildings in Gotham is Arkham Asylum – or, to give it its full name, ‘The Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane’ – a location introduced to the comics in 1974 to serve as a holding pen for Batman’s rogues gallery. Arkham Reborn is the latest story arc to develop the asylum’s mythos. It begins with the director, Jeremiah Arkham, picking his way through the ruins of the asylum (which was destroyed by the crime lord Black Mask during the events of a previous storyline). Stopping before one particular cell, Jeremiah recalls its former occupant, Humphrey Dumpler (AKA ‘Humpty Dumpty’), a man compelled to take things apart and put them back together – inevitably with disastrous consequences. ‘Poor Humphry,’ he muses. ‘Obsessed, like me, with repairing what was broken.’ This beginning recalls both Dan Slott and Ryan Sook’s Arkham Asylum: Living Hell (2003), the work in which Humpty Dumpty was introduced, and the seminal Arkham text, Grant Morrison and Dave McKean’s Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth (1989), wherein one doctor tells Batman: ‘sometimes you have to break down to rebuild, psychiatry’s like that’.

  • 07-12-2021 WIF and the Sundance Institute Financing
    July 12, 2021 Media Contacts: Spencer Alcorn [email protected] Women’s Financing Intensive, from WIF (Women In Film, Los Angeles) & Sundance Institute, Elevates Twelve Feature Projects with Tailored Support Intensive equips filmmakers with financing strategies and introduces them to leading financiers. LOS ANGELES - The Sundance Institute and WIF (Women In Film, Los Angeles) today announce the projects and creators selected for the annual WIF and Sundance Institute Financing Intensive. The Intensive is designed to help women producers—fiction and documentary—build the skills and relationships necessary to advance a feature-length project to the next stage of financing success. On July 14–15, producers and their attached directors participate in small group workshops focused on both pitching and financing strategy, and professional skills development. The Intensive continues the week of July 19 with one-on-one meetings with potential financiers and partners including The Harnisch Foundation, IDA, Impact Partners, Participant, Freeform, Hulu, Gamechanger, Chicken & Egg Pictures, K Period. The Intensive will first kick off with a free public session on July 13 at 2pm – 3:15pm ET, Protecting Producers, that will explore fresh ideas in producer career sustainability. The conversation will take place on Sundance Co//ab and include: Carrie Lozano (Director, Sundance Documentary Film Program and Artist Programs), Yael Melamede (Documentary Producers Alliance), producer Summer Shelton, and Avril Speaks (Producers Union). The Institute and WIF have been working together to address the most challenging obstacles facing women filmmakers at both structural and project-based levels. Accessing capital remains elusive even for seasoned creators, and research by both institutions has shown that women continue to deal with particular gendered biases that make it harder to secure financing.

  • Newsnotes: 2CUL Russian, Eurasian & East European Studies Resources. No. 19, Fall 2019
    Newsnotes: 2CUL Russian, Eurasian & East European Studies Resources. No. 19, Fall 2019. Dear Colleagues: The start of this, the 2019-2020 academic year, is as hectic as always. As I write this, new students are already descending on campus, and we in the Cornell and Columbia libraries eagerly await their return, their questions, and their resource needs. The year 2019 imarks the 113th year of active Slavic and East European collecting at Columbia, and the 135th (!) at Cornell. In the swirl of the times in which we live, with challenges galore on seemingly all fronts, the librarians who staff these two venerable institutions continue to strive to bring broad and deep research resources from our regions to these shores and make them accessible to the broadest spectrum of users, across institutions, via resource-sharing networks. As always, I am here to try to help connect you with these resources. Don’t be a stranger! I am expanding my “off-site” office hours this semester. I will be available in the Slavic Reading Room on the 7th floor of Hamilton on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12-1 (beginning September 9), and in 1230 International Affairs on Thursdays from 1-2 (beginning September 12). I am otherwise available in 308-309 Lehman Library; just drop me an email: [email protected] to confirm that I’m in place! I am always glad to conduct individual one-on-one consultations on a particular research project, or to speak about resources in general with particular classes. After thirty-one years in this business, keep in mind that I have a pretty decent Rolodex, so if I don’t have the answer, perhaps I can put you in touch with someone who does.

  • “Bothersome Forms, of Course, Were Mechanically Exterminated”
    LETTURE • BORDERS OF THE VISIBLE L. HERRMANN • “Bothersome Forms, of Course, Were Mechanically Exterminated” LEE HERRMANN “BOTHERSOME FORMS, OF COURSE, WERE MECHANICALLY EXTERMINATED” Colonialism, Science, Racial Dysgenia, and Extermination in the Work of H.P. Lovecraft, Intertextually and Beyond ABSTRACT: The science-fiction writer H.P. Lovecraft is famed for his apocalyptic oeuvre. His work is deeply marked by racialist science and colonial history, linking them as structural constants that produce the outbreaks of horror in his stories. The horror is repeatedly represented as a dysgenic devolution with exterminatory implications. Yet similar treatments of racialized fear are commonly expressed in many non-fiction texts and biopolitical agendas, particularly in colonial contexts, and this conjunction also occurs in real events, including the historical apocalypse of the Holocaust. This paper will discuss Lovecraft’s apocalyptic fiction as a structural elaboration of the consequences of colonialism, racism, and scientific rationalism that reveals, despite its fantastic irrationality, a fundamental truth about extermination and modernity. KEYWORDS: Colonialism, Scientific Racism, Extermination, Eugenics, H.P. Lovecraft. INTRODUCTION The reader may be relieved to be informed immediately that the coolly genocidal sentiments quoted in this paper’s title are not the product of a military diary or scientific report from Central Europe, circa 1942, but are taken from an American science-fiction story, published in 1936. The fictitious exterminations so referenced are thus wholly speculative. They were the price of the positive eugenic results achieved by the most advanced civilization ever to exist on Earth, a triumph of scientific rationalism: The alien race of colonizers whose highly- civilized intellectual and aesthetic pursuits required the development of a menial slave-force to free them from work must, perforce, exterminate some bothersome forms on the way, and such work would likely be done best mechanically, that is, scientifically.
