  • The Nameless City
    • The Nameless City by H. P. Lovecraft January 1921 • hen I drew nigh1 the nameless city I knew Wit was accursed.2 I was travelling in a parched3 and terrible valley under the moon, and afar4 I saw it protruding5 uncannily6 above the sands as parts of a corpse may protrude from an ill-made grave.7 Fear spoke from the age-worn stones of this hoary8 survi- vor of the deluge,9 this great-grandmother of the eldest pyramid; and a viewless aura repelled me and bade me retreat from antique and sinister secrets that no man should see, and no man else had ever dared to see. Remote in the desert of Araby10 lies the nameless city, crumbling and inarticulate, its low walls nearly hid- den by the sands of uncounted ages. It must have been thus before the first stones of Memphis11 were laid, and while the bricks of Babylon12 were yet unbaked. There is no legend so old as to give it a name, or to recall that 1) Near, archaic. 2) Cursed, archaic. 3) Dried. 4) Far away. 5) Sticking out. 6) Uncanny: strange, and mysteriously unsettling (as if supernatu- ral); weird. 7) From “The Festival” (Oct. 1923): “... and I saw that it was a bury- ing-ground where black gravestones stuck ghoulishly through the snow like the decayed fingernails of a gigantic corpse.” 8) White or gray with age. 9) A deluge is a great flood. In this case, he is referring to the bibli- cal flood of Noah as a way of indicating great age.

    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.

It will feature many items from the estate of Ed Kessell, one of the guiding lights of the first Pulpcon. Included will be letters signed by Walter Gibson, E. Hoffmann Price, Walter Baumhofer, and others, as well as a wide variety of pulp magazines. For further information about Pulpcon 37, please visit the convention’s website at http://www.pulpcon.org/ Another highlight of Pulpcon is Tony Davis’ program book and fanzine, The Pulpster . As usual, I’ll be picking up copies of the issue for those of you who are unable to attend the convention. If you’d like me to acquire a copy for you, please drop me an email or letter as soon as possible. My addresses are listed below. Most likely, the issue will cost about seven dollars plus postage.

Absurd, standing here in the dark with a group of tipsy fools, egged on by an obsessed Englishman. And yet there was real terror here . Jack the Ripper had prowled in dark­ ness like this, with a knife, a madman's brain and a madman's purpose. But Jack the Ripper was dead and dust these many years—by every human law . Hollis shrieked; there was a grisly thud. The lights went on. Everybody screamed. Sir Guy Hollis lay sprawled on the floor in the center of the room—Hollis, who had moments before told of his crack-brained belief that the Ripper still stalked the earth .
