  • THE RISE of the NEW HYBORIAN LEGION, PART FIVE by Lee A
    REHeapa Summer Solstice 2019 THE RISE OF THE NEW HYBORIAN LEGION, PART FIVE By Lee A. Breakiron As we saw in our first installment [1], the Robert E. Howard United Press Association (REHupa) was founded in 1972 by a teen-aged Tim Marion as the first amateur press association (apa) devoted to Howard. Reforms by the next Official Editor (OE), Jonathan Bacon, had gone a good way toward making the fanzine Mailings look less amateurish, which in turn attracted more and better members. There was still too many Mailing Comments (MCs) being made relative to the material worth commenting on, still too little that concerned Howard himself, and still too much being said about tangential matters (pastiches, comics, gaming, etc.) or personal affairs. A lot of fan fiction and poetry was being contributed, but this did garner a lot of appreciation and commentary from the other members. The next OE, Brian Earl Brian, put in a lot of work guiding the organization, though not always competently. Former, longtime REHupan James Van Hise wrote the first comprehensive history of REHupa through Mailing #175. [2] Like him, but more so, we are focusing only on noteworthy content, especially that relevant to Howard. Here are the highlights of Mailings #46 through #55. In Mailing #46 (July, 1980), Brown features some information on electrostencilling and a trip report on the Columbus, Ohio, science fiction and fantasy convention Marcon. He mentions L. Sprague de Camp’s story “Far Babylon,” in which the lost soul of Robert E. Howard appears, portrayed in a positive light. On a matter of current contention, he declares that anyone should be able to “frank” (reproduce in their zine) any material or statements by other people and that no one should have any expectation of privacy from those outside the apa.

  • About This Volume Gary Hoppenstand
    About This Volume Gary Hoppenstand Much has been published over the past several decades about both the pulpPaJa]ine ¿ction oI the s and s and Weird Tales, one of the Post faPous and inÀuential pulps to have been published durinJ this tZodecade period 7he dif¿cult\ of editinJ a voluPe that both brieÀ\ outlines the heiJht of the pulpPaJa]ine era and speci¿call\ examines an important title of this era was in deciding what to exclude, rather than what to include. M\ solution to the dilemma was to provide a timeline of popular ¿c- tion following the Industrial Revolution and leading up to the pulps. I wanted to discuss the cultural and social dynamics of the invention and evolution of popular ¿ction over a period of approximately years in both England and the United States, being sure to cover such topics as social class, education, the rise of the city, and printing technology as important elements of the discussion. I also wanted to cover the historical sequence of working-class ven- ues for popular ¿ction that led to the creation of the pulp maga]ines in general and Weird Tales speci¿cally. It is important for the contempo- rary reader to understand that historical sequence and to realize that publications such as Weird Tales did not spring fully grown onto the newsstand without an extended lineage. Beginning with the story pa- pers and penny dreadfuls and leading up to the dime novels and early decades of the pulps, each iteration of working-class popular ¿ction was essential in leading to the conception of the next iteration.

  • Fantasy Subgenres (Courtesy
    Fantasy Subgenres (courtesy http://www.cuebon.com/ewriters/Fsubgenres.html) (Definitions and Examples - All) Whether set on our familar Earth (past or present), or in a vast parallel world, or some dreamlike realm where everything is different, fantasy tales allow our imaginations free reign. Even so its relationships, and use of magic, must be internally consistent. Alternate World fantasy involves different worlds hidden within or parallel to our own. In past times these could be found in a mysterious country, as in Johnathan Swift's novel Gulliver's Travels. With the Earth explored, some were envisioned inside a mirror, as with Lewis Carroll's novel Through the Looking Glass. Others 'distill' whole fictional libraries, as with John Myers Myers' novel Silverlock. In our scientific era, often these worlds are in a parallel cosmos, as depicted in Roger Zelazny's "Amber" series. Arthurian subgenre tales are set in the world of King Arthur's legendary Camelot. Merlin, Lancelot, Ygraine and friends are involved in fresh adventures. These novels have been popular for centuries, and one famous modern example is Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow. Bangsian fantasy takes its name from a 19th century author named John Bangs. This subgenre deals all or mostly with the afterlife. Early legends speak of Hades, and it's been going strong ever since. A modern example is Philip Jose Farmer's "Riverworld" series, which overlaps with 'science fiction.' Though marketed as literary fiction, with its Heaven-dwelling narrator, Alice Sebold's novel and movie The Lovely Bones fits this category. Celtic fantasy draws upon the rich lore of the Celtic peoples, mostly but not always from Ireland.

  • Thanatos Vol 8 1 2019
    THANATOS vol. 8 1/2019 © Suomalaisen Kuolemantutkimuksen Seura Ry. https://thanatosjournal.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/tanti_evolution_of_the_vampire.pdf REVIEW ARTICLE The Evolution of the Vampire in Popular Narrative from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Charmaine Tanti Independent scholar Abstract The vampire is one of the most powerful and enduring archetypes handed down to us by nineteenth-century literature, and remains, arguably, the most popular manifestation of the undead in popular culture. Perhaps more than any other monster, the vampire is a reflection of humanity. As Nina Auerbach says in her seminal work, Our Vampire, Ourselves, every generation creates its own vampire. Vampires embody our deepest fears and wildest desires, they represent the past that refuses to remain buried, our anxieties in the face of unavoidable social change and our fear of social and ethnic Others. They are signifiers that expose what we wish to conceal. Some vampires seem to uphold the status quo and a rigid patriarchal system, others defy the social and moral orders by freeing repressed desires and latent sexualities and by embodying in their very being all that is hated and suppressed by socio-normativity. This paper will examine the evolution of the vampire in popular narrative, discussing its function and the way the figure has changed with the changing political and social climates, according to the needs of each culture that created, recreated and reinvented it. It will analyse the diverse roles that the vampire has played through the best part of two centuries by looking at a diversity of literary texts, films and television series that have made significant contributions to the development and continuing relevance of the vampire, from John Polidori’s The Vampyre to Bram Stoker’s Dracula to the cinematic contributions of Murnau, Dreyer and the Hammer Studios up to the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries with the works of Anne Rice, Stephen King, WWW.THANATOS-JOURNAL.COM ISSN 2242-6280 120(155) THANATOS vol.
