Son of a Shakespearean actor, Fritz was at one time an actor himself and a mem­ ber of his father’s troupe. He made a cameo appearance in the film "Equinox." Fritz has studied many sciences and was once editor of Science Digest. His writing career began prior to World War 11 with some stories in Weird Tales. Soon Unknown published his novel "Conjure Wife, " which was made into a movie under the title (of all things) "Bum, Witch, Bum!" His Gray Mouser stories (which were the inspira­ tion for the Fantasy Faire "Fritz Leiber Fantasy Award") were started in Unknown and continued in Fantastic, which magazine devoted its entire Nov., 1959 issue to Fritz's stories. In 1959 Fritz was awarded a Hugo, by the World Science Fiction Convention for his novel "The Big Time." His novel "The Wanderer," about an interloper into our solar system, won the Hugo again in 1965.'-His novelettes Gonna Roll the Bones," "Ship of Shadows" and "Ill Met in Lankhmar” won the Hugo in 1968, 1970 and 1971 in that order.

  • JUDITH MERRIL-PDF-Sep23-07.Pdf (368.7Kb)
    JUDITH MERRIL: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY AND GUIDE Compiled by Elizabeth Cummins Department of English and Technical Communication University of Missouri-Rolla Rolla, MO 65409-0560 College Station, TX The Center for the Bibliography of Science Fiction and Fantasy December 2006 Table of Contents Preface Judith Merril Chronology A. Books B. Short Fiction C. Nonfiction D. Poetry E. Other Media F. Editorial Credits G. Secondary Sources About Elizabeth Cummins PREFACE Scope and Purpose This Judith Merril bibliography includes both primary and secondary works, arranged in categories that are suitable for her career and that are, generally, common to the other bibliographies in the Center for Bibliographic Studies in Science Fiction. Works by Merril include a variety of types and modes—pieces she wrote at Morris High School in the Bronx, newsletters and fanzines she edited; sports, westerns, and detective fiction and non-fiction published in pulp magazines up to 1950; science fiction stories, novellas, and novels; book reviews; critical essays; edited anthologies; and both audio and video recordings of her fiction and non-fiction. Works about Merill cover over six decades, beginning shortly after her first science fiction story appeared (1948) and continuing after her death (1997), and in several modes— biography, news, critical commentary, tribute, visual and audio records. This new online bibliography updates and expands the primary bibliography I published in 2001 (Elizabeth Cummins, “Bibliography of Works by Judith Merril,” Extrapolation, vol. 42, 2001). It also adds a secondary bibliography. However, the reasons for producing a research- based Merril bibliography have been the same for both publications. Published bibliographies of Merril’s work have been incomplete and often inaccurate.

  • The Discworld Novels of Terry Pratchett by Stacie L. Hanes
    Aspects ofHumanity: The Discworld Novels ofTerry Pratchett by Stacie L. Hanes Submitted in Partial Fulfillment ofthe Requirements for the Degree of Master ofArts in the English Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY May, 2004 Aspects ofHumanity: The Discworld Novels ofTerry Pratchett Stacie L.

I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies ofthis thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: StacieaLL. Hanes, Student Approvals: Date ~ ~ /I /? ,1 ..,-...ff&?7/P;? ?~ ~C~4.~>r ,ClyYL47: Dr. Thomas Copelan ,Committee Member Date 111 Abstract Novelist Terry Pratchett is one ofEngland's most popular living writers; he is recognized, by virtue ofhis Discworld novels, as one ofthe leading satirists working today. Despite this high praise, however, Pratchett receives relatively little critical attention. His work is fantasy and is often marginalized by academics-just like the rest ofthe geme. Pratchett has a tremendous following in England and a smaller but completely devoted fan base in the United States, not to mention enough readers all over the world to justify translation ofhis work into nearly thirty languages; yet, his popularity has not necessarily resulted in the respect that his writing deserves. However, there is considerable support for Pratchett's place in the literary canon, based on his use ofsatire and parody to treat major issues. 1 Aspects of Humanity: The Discworld Novels of Terry Pratchett Introduction Novelist Terry Pratchett is one ofEngland's most popular living writers; he is recognized, by virtue ofhis Discworld novels, as one ofthe leading satirists working today.

  • VFW Into 2007 Or Even Beyond, but I Didn’T Expect It to Mutate from a Two-To-Four Page Local Newszine Into a Full-Fledged Genzine with a Huge Worldwide Readership
    1 This is the 100th Vegas Fandom Weekly. That surprises me even more than it does you. I’ve never done 100 of any fanzine. Whim has often ruled my fanac and once I feel I’ve met the challenge of one project, I begin to divert energy to the next one. Almost before I notice, I’ve stopped one fanzine and started another. Yet here I am, ready to follow Brad Foster’s front-cover injunction to celebrate 100 issues. Actually, I might have been willing to make an optimistic prediction about continuing VFW into 2007 or even beyond, but I didn’t expect it to mutate from a two-to-four page local newszine into a full-fledged genzine with a huge worldwide readership. That weekly schedule — The zine’s slogan called it “sorta weekly” even when it came out weekly for well over a year — is just a memory, but the average issue is now 28 pages. Truthfully, it’s more like a powerful drug. Right now, I simply can’t imagine not producing more issues. I have ideas for other fanzines I’d like to try, but VFW shows no sign of loosening its grip on my fanpublishing. Frankly, I can’t even bring myself to change the zine’s name. I have this waking nightmare that world climate change will one day force me to move somewhere else and that I will leave Core Fandom for an obsession with metal detecting or something else of that ilk — but I’ll still be producing regular issues of something that isn’t “Vegas,” “Fandom” or “Weekly” under the same old logo.

  • The Smokin' Route
    The SMOKIN’ ROUTE THE SMOKIN’ ROUTE BEING AN ACCOUNT OF THE JOURNEY OF GUY & ROSY LILLIAN TO THE CITY OF SPOKANE, WASHINGTON AND SASQUAN, THE 73RD WORLD SCIENCE FICTION CONVENTION AUGUST 18-25, 2015. Composed by Guy at 1390 Holly Avenue, Merritt Island FL 32952 [email protected] * GHLIII Press Publication #1183 Oh, what a journey it could have been. And oh, what a journey it was. In our dreams, we would have roaded it to South Dakota, walked the Greasy Grass at Little Big Horn, sought the majesty of Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Monument, whistled the theme to Close Encounters at Devil’s Tower, then driven on through Montana and Idaho to Spokane. But those fantasies evaporated with the bad luck and ill will of April, which gutted us financially and emotionally. It seemed, that spring and early summer, that Rosy and I would have only an ambassador to send to Sasquan, the 73rd World Science Fiction Convention – its souvenir book. This was the sixth major convention for which Rosy and/or I had edited the program/souvenir book, and possibly the most satisfying. I did Let the Good Times Roll for Nolacon II with Peggy Ranson – without benefit of computer layout programs. I love the book but our primitive tools and lack of experience shows. La belle and I worked on Noreascon 4’s with Geri Sullivan, a layout genius of incomparable talent, and while the book is beautiful, we credit that mostly to Geri. Rosy’s book for Chicon 7 is jolly and colorful, but was done at such a breakneck, last-nanosecond pace that its rife typos glare like burning coals.
