SuspenseMagazine.com 3 Mark Sadler Influenced by What he Reads By Suspense Magazine With the introduction of so many incredible and talented new contributor’s to our team—or fresh blood—as we sometimes refer to them, Suspense Magazine decided that our fans might like an opportunity to meet the team that helps us produce the magazine each month. And, with that in mind, the idea to create our monthly “Contributor’s Corner” was born. With a large, wide-ranging pool to choose from, where their skills and talents vary, it was a difficult decision to choose the first victim. That is, until this particular published author put my skills and personal reviewing record to shame. I am sure, after many months of getting to know Mark Sadler who comes from strong British stock, that doesn’t require the same amount of sleep we normal humans survive on. I’ve seen firsthand the comments from his friends and fans stating that he is a “reading machine” and we couldn’t agree more. Self-published author Mark Sadler first came to our attention when he politely requested a review of his novel and with a title like “Blood on his Hands”, how could we refuse? This mid-70’s transplant to the states has the ability to paint such vivid—and on occasion terrifying— pictures in your mind that an instant friendship was born, which quickly blossomed into his role as a reviewer for Suspense Magazine. We took the time to harass him—because as you all know, all authors hate free, self-promotion (especially Mark)—and were able to get him to answer a few simple questions: Suspense Magazine (S. MAG.): What book changed your life? Mark Sadler (MS): This is probably the most difficult question I have been asked.

TEACHING SPECULATIVE FICTION IN COLLEGE: A PEDAGOGY FOR MAKING ENGLISH STUDIES RELEVANT by JAMES HAMMOND SHIMKUS Under the Direction of Dr. Elizabeth Burmester ABSTRACT Speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, and horror) has steadily gained popularity both in culture and as a subject for study in college. While many helpful resources on teaching a particular genre or teaching particular texts within a genre exist, college teachers who have not previously taught science fiction, fantasy, or horror will benefit from a broader pedagogical overview of speculative fiction, and that is what this resource provides. Teachers who have previously taught speculative fiction may also benefit from the selection of alternative texts presented here. This resource includes an argument for the consideration of more speculative fiction in college English classes, whether in composition, literature, or creative writing, as well as overviews of the main theoretical discussions and definitions of each genre.

Born in what was then British Guiana, she moved to the United Kingdom in the 1950s . Although Gilroy was a qualified teacher, racism prevented her getting a post for some time, and she had to work as a washer, a factory clerk and maid. Eventually she was employed and became the first Black headteacher in London. Her experiences of those years are told in her unconventional autobiography Black Teacher. Gilroy's creative writing began much earlier, in childhood, as a teacher for children and then in the 1960s when she began writing what was later published In Praise of Love and Children, a rare account of a woman’s experience of migration from the Caribbean.

Crafting Women’s Narratives The Material Impact of Twenty-First Century Romance Fiction on Contemporary Steampunk Dress Shannon Marie Rollins A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Art) at The University of Edinburgh Edinburgh College of Art, School of Art September 2019 Rollins i ABSTRACT Science fiction author K.W. Jeter coined the term ‘steampunk’ in his 1987 letter to the editor of Locus magazine, using it to encompass the burgeoning literary trend of madcap ‘gonzo’-historical Victorian adventure novels. Since this watershed moment, steampunk has outgrown its original context to become a multimedia field of production including art, fashion, Do-It-Yourself projects, role-playing games, film, case-modified technology, convention culture, and cosplay alongside science fiction. And as steampunk creativity diversifies, the link between its material cultures and fiction becomes more nuanced; where the subculture began as an extension of the text in the 1990s, now it is the culture that redefines the fiction.

  • Horny Toads and Ugly Chickens: a Bibliography on Texas in Speculative Fiction
    HORNY TOADS AND UGLY CHICKENS: A BIBLIOGRAPHY ON TEXAS IN SPECULATIVE FICTION by Bill Page Dellwood Press Bryan, Texas June 2010 1 HORNY TOADS AND UGLY CHICKENS: A BIBLIOGRAPHY ON TEXAS IN SPECULATIVE FICTION by Bill Page In this bibliography I have compiled a list of science fiction, fantasy and horror novels that are set in Texas. I have mentioned several short stories and a few poems and plays in this bibliography, but I did not make any sustained attempt to identify such works. I have not listed works of music, though many songs exist which deal with these subjects. Most entries are briefly annotated, though I well understand that it is impossible to accurately describe a book in only one or two sentences. As one reads science fiction and fantasy novels set in Texas, certain themes repeat themselves. There are, of course, numerous works about ghosts, vampires, and werewolves. Authors often write about invasions of the state, not only by creatures from outer space, but also by foreigners, including the Russians, the Germans, the Mexicans, the Japanese and even the Israelis. One encounters familiar plot devices, such as time travel, in other books. Stories often depict a Texas devastated by some apocalypse – sometimes it is global warming, sometimes World War III has been fought, and usually lost, by the United States, and, in one case, the disaster consisted of a series of massive earthquakes which created ecological havoc and destroyed most of the region's infrastructure. The mystique of the old west has long been an alluring subject for authors; even Jules Verne and Bram Stoker used Texans in stories.

  • The Stanley Wiater Modern Horror Archive
    The Stanley Wiater Modern Horror Archive Overview The Stanley Wiater archive of Modern Horror literature is likely the most comprehensive collection of materials documenting the field in existence. Mr. Wiater has been a writer, editor, anthologist, journalist, and collector in the field for over 40 years. He is a three-time winner of the Bram Stoker Award, given by the Horror Writers Association, and has become, over the years, a friend to virtually all of the writers and many of the filmmakers in the field. The Wiater archive is unique in that it has been assembled by an individual who is himself a contributor to the field and has spent decades making its writers and writings accessible to others, both within the field and outside of it. Mr. Wiater is widely considered the leading authority in the world on major horror writers and filmmakers. Modern Horror emerged as a field unto itself in the late 1960s-early 1970s, after previously being subsumed under the "fantasy and science fiction" umbrella. The leading writers in the field at that time — Ray Bradbury, Fritz Leiber, and others — were already well-known as fantasy or science fiction writers. In the 1970s, after the success of such mainstream movies as Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist, and with the sudden and unprecedented success of the horror novels of Stephen King — reportedly the bestselling novelist in the world — the field came into its own. Mr. Wiater began his book collection in the 1960s, and his first job as a journalist was interviewing Ray Bradbury. Bradbury's first book was originally published by Arkham House, the horror specialty publisher named after HP.
