Stephen King's books have become a lightning rod for the tensions around issues of including "mass market" popular literature in middle and 1.i.gh school English classes and of who chooses what students read. King's fi'tion is among the most popular of "pop" literature, and among the most controversial. These essays spotlight the ways in which King's work intersects with the themes of the literary canon and its construction and maintenance, censorship in public schools, and the need for adolescent readers to be able to choose books in school reading programs. The essays and their authors are: (1) "Reading Stephen King: An Ethnography of an Event" (Brenda Miller Power); (2) "I Want to Be Typhoid Stevie" (Stephen King); (3) "King and Controversy in Classrooms: A Conversation between Teachers and Students" (Kelly Chandler and others); (4) "Of Cornflakes, Hot Dogs, Cabbages, and King" (Jeffrey D.

He also notices strange goings on in the area that changes the look of the local people. Basil Copper Contributor ,. Keirnan has three stories in this anthology, so I decided to review the one that stood out the most to me at the time. The shape of stone carvings of fish men and strange creatures almost frightens him, and a crown that would be something the Dean would want to see. The standard of the stories were generally good but without any truly outstanding contributions. More filters. Pretty weak. Simon Kurt Unsworth dramatises this with a television crew reporting and a cameraman finding unexpected things in the water. Innsmouth Bane, by John Glasby, has Jedediah Allen whose family had settled in Innsmouth back in and prospered until the depression. Stephen Jones is an eighteen-time winner of the British Fantasy Award. Lists with This Book. Book of the Year see all. Details if other :. This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Average rating 3. The main reason I am giving this anthology three stars is because overall not a lot of unique things were done with the Innsmouth theme, something the previous anthology seemed to have done better if my memory is correct. Hugh B. Review by Sandra Scholes. The hard-boiled detective story is often teamed up with horror themes nowadays, usually to good effect.

From the Chair OK, here we go—the first Official Progress Report from Worldcon 76 in San Jose! The World Science Fiction Convention is, to me, the World’s Fair of fandom. No other event brings together fans and creators, regardless of genre or medium, under one “big tent” with the face-to-face intimacy of Worldcon. There are lots of big pop culture conventions (quite a few bigger than Worldcon), but none of them feature the “everybody creates this event together” culture that makes Worldcon such a unique international gathering. Just last month at Worldcon 75 in Helsinki, Finland, I had the privilege of announcing our final two Guests of Honor, artist John Picacio and musician Frank Hayes, who join GoHs Spider Robinson, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Pierre and Sandy Pettinger, and our posthumous Ghost and gHost of Honor Edgar Pangborn and Bob Wilkins.
