  • The Nemedian Chroniclers #22 [WS16]
    REHeapa Winter Solstice 2016 By Lee A. Breakiron A WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON Few fiction authors are as a widely published internationally as Robert E. Howard (e.g., in Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Yugoslavian). As former REHupan Vern Clark states: Robert E. Howard has long been one of America’s stalwarts of Fantasy Fiction overseas, with extensive translations of his fiction & poetry, and an ever mushrooming distribution via foreign graphic story markets dating back to the original REH paperback boom of the late 1960’s. This steadily increasing presence has followed the growing stylistic and market influence of American fantasy abroad dating from the initial translations of H.P. Lovecraft’s Arkham House collections in Spain, France, and Germany. The growth of the HPL cult abroad has boded well for other American exports of the Weird Tales school, and with the exception of the Lovecraft Mythos, the fantasy fiction of REH has proved the most popular, becoming an international literary phenomenon with translations and critical publications in Spain, Germany, France, Greece, Poland, Japan, and elsewhere. [1] All this shows how appealing REH’s exciting fantasy is across cultures, despite inevitable losses in stylistic impact through translations. Even so, there is sometimes enough enthusiasm among readers to generate fandom activities and publications. We have already covered those in France. [2] Now let’s take a look at some other countries. GERMANY, AUSTRIA, AND SWITZERLAND The first Howard stories published in German were in the fanzines Pioneer #25 and Lands of Wonder ‒ Pioneer #26 (Austratopia, Vienna) in 1968 and Pioneer of Wonder #28 (Follow, Passau, Germany) in 1969.

  • 2019-05-06 Catalog P
    Pulp-related books and periodicals available from Mike Chomko for May and June 2019 Dianne and I had a wonderful time in Chicago, attending the Windy City Pulp & Paper Convention in April. It’s a fine show that you should try to attend. Upcoming conventions include Robert E. Howard Days in Cross Plains, Texas on June 7 – 8, and the Edgar Rice Burroughs Chain of Friendship, planned for the weekend of June 13 – 15. It will take place in Oakbrook, Illinois. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there will be a spring edition of Ray Walsh’s Classicon. Currently, William Patrick Maynard and I are writing about the programming that will be featured at PulpFest 2019. We’ll be posting about the panels and presentations through June 10. On June 17, we’ll write about this year’s author signings, something new we’re planning for the convention. Check things out at www.pulpfest.com. Laurie Powers biography of LOVE STORY MAGAZINE editor Daisy Bacon is currently scheduled for release around the end of 2019. I will be carrying this book. It’s entitled QUEEN OF THE PULPS. Please reserve your copy today. Recently, I was contacted about carrying the Armchair Fiction line of books. I’ve contacted the publisher and will certainly be able to stock their books. Founded in 2011, they are dedicated to the restoration of classic genre fiction. Their forté is early science fiction, but they also publish mystery, horror, and westerns. They have a strong line of lost race novels. Their books are illustrated with art from the pulps and such.

  • Apropiaciones Lovecraftianas De Temas Teosóficos
    Chaves / Melancolia 3 (2018) pp. 35-59 APROPIACIONES LOVECRAFTIANAS DE TEMAS TEOSÓFICOS ISSN 2526-1096 [email protected] Enviado: 10/0518 Aceptado: 19/08/18 RESUMEN Se abordan en este ensayo algunas de las referencias teosóficas en la narrativa fantástica del escritor norteamericano H.P. Lovecraft, surgidas tanto de sus lecturas de autores teosóficos como W. Scott-Elliot, así como de sus conversaciones con colegas literatos conocedores de esas doctrinas esotéricas, como E. Hoffman Price. Se pone énfasis en dos temas: la antropogénesis blavatskiana y el mito del Libro de Dzyan, en términos de su impacto en el universo narrativo de Lovecraft. PALABRAS CLAVE: teosofía, H.P. Lovecraft, literatura fantástica. 35 Chaves / Melancolia 3 (2018) pp. 35-59 LOVECRAFTIAN APPROPRIATIONS OF THEOSOPHICAL SUBJECTS ABSTRACT: Some of the theosophical references in the fantastic narrative of the American writer H.P. Lovecraft are addressed in this essay, arising both from his readings of theosophical authors such as W. Scott-Elliot, as well as from his conversations with literary colleagues who were familiar with these esoteric doctrines, as E. Hoffman Price. Emphasis is placed on two themes: Blavatskian anthropogenesis and the myth of the Book of Dzyan, in terms of its impact on Lovecraft's narrative universe. KEY WORDS: Theosophy, H.P. Lovecraft, Fantastic Literature. José Ricardo Chaves es Doctor en literatura comparada por la UNAM. Es miembro del Centro de Poética del Instituto de Investigaciones Filológicas, y docente en la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, con un trabajo enfocado sobre todo al estudio del romanticismo y del esoterismo en el siglo XIX y principios del XX, así como a la literatura fantástica de esa época, tanto en Europa como en América.
