First things ¯rst: somehow I neglected to thank Cindy Ratzla® of Simon & Schuster Audio for all her help on the ¯rst two issues. Please accept Vol. 1 No. 3 January 1990 my apologies, Cindy; I'm still not sure how I missed you. Also, my apologies to Adam Rothberg for renaming him last issue. At the end of October my family and I drove to Seattle, Washington, for the Presented by: 1989 World Fantasy Convention. There isn't much to see between Utah and Hunter Goatley Washington (actually, there isn't much to see between Utah and just about anyplace), but the drive was breathtaking in some places. Descending from Contributors: an altitude of about 4,500 feet to sea-level made for some interesting scenery Robert R. McCammon changes. We were amazed as we drove down the mountains into Seattle; the Joe R. Lansdale city really is situated where the mountains meet the ocean. A report on the convention can be found on page 5, along with several photos. Business Manager: Last issue I recommended Sunglasses After Dark, by Nancy A. Collins. I had a Dana Goatley chance to meet Nancy at the WFC, where she told me about her next novel; it sounds as if it will be just as good and original as Sunglasses. Additional Editing by: This issue features the ¯rst in a series of author interviews conducted by Denise de la Cruz Robert R. McCammon exclusively for Lights Out!. Because the interview is Robert R. McCammon with Joe Lansdale, I thought it would be interesting to run an interview with Heather Stone McCammon that Lansdale did for The Twilight Zone Magazine a few years ago; the interviews begin on page 9. Subscriptions The contest to write the conclusion to McCammon's short story \The Night I Killed the King" was very successful; a total of thirteen endings were submitted. $12 per year (4 quarterly issues). The winning entry and excerpts from the others begin on page 15. As I told Send check or money order to: some of the entrants, I'm glad I didn't have to pick the winner; each of the endings was very entertaining. Lights Out!

News items of interest April's Blue World Paperback to Include Excerpt from Mine As previously reported, Pocket Books will be publishing the Robert R. McCammon short story collection Blue World in April 1990. Many people have wondered if the American edition of Blue World will di®er from 1989's British edition; Lights Out! has learned that the American paperback will contain an excerpt from the next McCammon novel, Mine. The excerpt will consist of a combination of several chapters from the novel, which is scheduled for release in a hardcover edition in May 1990. In addition, the collection will include previously un- published letters from McCammon introducing both the novella \Blue World" and the excerpt from Mine. The ten- tative cover art for Blue World|reproduced on the cover of this issue|depicts a tomb in a cemetery and is rendered in striking blue. Meanwhile, the advance reading copies for Mine have been printed and shipped to reviewers around the country. McCammon and his wife, Sally, recently attended a Pocket Books sales conference in Miami, where McCammon gave a humorous presentation and signed the advance copies for Pocket sales representatives. McCammon read a chapter from Mine at the World Fantasy Convention in October. The non-supernatural novel is about a woman who was a member of the Storm Front, an out¯t similar to the SLA that Patty Hearst belonged to in the 1970s. The woman goes insane, kidnaps another woman's baby, and goes underground with the Planned Artwork for Mine Hardcover child. The novel chronicles the cross-country search for the kidnapped child. many American mail-order dealers.

    The Apocalyptic Book List Presented by: The Post Apocalyptic Forge Compiled by: Paul Williams ([email protected]) As with other lists compiled by me, this list contains material that is not strictly apocalyptic or post apocalyptic, but that may contain elements that have that fresh roasted apocalyptic feel. Because I have not read every single title here and have relied on other peoples input, you may on occasion find a title that is not appropriate for the intended genre....please do let me know and I will remove it, just as if you find a title that needs to be added...that is appreciated as well. At the end of the main book list you will find lists for select series of books. Title Author 8.4 Peter Hernon 905 Tom Pane 2011, The Evacuation of Planet Earth G.
