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. -

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. -

Grimdark Magazine Issue 27 PDF
1 Contents From the Editor Beth Tabler Outliers A.M. Shine Crossing the Monster Kaaron Warren Island of Sin Jack Murphy An Interview with Chuck Wendig Beth Tabler The Tesseract Evan Marcroft An Interview with Paul Tremblay Beth Tabler The Jewels of the Mermaids Marisca Pichette The Case for Conflict Sadie Hartman Tubes Jeremy C. Shipp An Interview with Graham Masterton 2 Beth Tabler Gingerbread Lindsay King-Miller 3 From the Editor BETH TABLER Hey, there. My name is Beth Tabler, and I am guest editing the horror crossover issue of Grimdark Magazine. As a young connoisseur of all horror and science fiction movies inappropriate for my age, I remember seeing Poltergeist for the first time when I was seven years old. I had snuck down to the television while my folks were sleeping. I never quite got over demonic trees, clowns, and an old woman screaming, "Carol Anne." I remember reading my first Stephen King book, Salem's Lot, at 12. I knew at that moment that my reading life would never be the same. I remember the first grimdark book I read at 25; it was Mark Lawrence’s Prince of Thorns, by the way. I realized sometimes heroes aren't heroic, bad guys can be protagonists, and life is full of a lot more gray than I had thought. Horror and grimdark are a part of who I am and how I see the world. They are my jam. The themes of horror and grimdark have always gone hand in hand. But often, a thin gray line separates the two, a place where the story does not fall one way or another but sits on that terrifying spot between the two, where you can't quite tell what is what. -

TERRORE! (The Mammoth Book Of Terror, 1991) a cura di STEPHEN JONES Indice Sempre sull'Orrore di Gianni Pilo Introduzione. Parliamo di Terrore di Stephen Jones L'ultima illusione di Clive Barker Bunny non ce l'aveva detto di David J. Schow Murgunstrumm di Hugh B. Cave L'ultimo turno di Dennis Etchison Il Signore Cavallo di Lisa Tuttle Il Saltapicchio di Ronald Chetwynd-Hayes I diritti d'autore sono scaduti di Ramsey Campbell Il fiume dei sogni notturni di Karl Edward Wagner L'esemplare color seppia di Basil Copper La Casa del Tempio di Brian Lumley Gli Jugoslavi di Robert Bloch Il primogenito di David Campton Il dramma nero di Manly Wade Wellman Crystal di Charles L. Grant Secchielli di F. Paul Wilson La testa del satiro di David A. Riley Rottami di Stephen Laws Pastone per maiali di Graham Masterton Sempre sull'Orrore Sembra che molta gente, in questi ultimi anni, si sia lambiccata il cer- vello alla ricerca di classificazioni e distinzioni per differenziare i vari ge- neri e sottogeneri della Fantascienza e della Fantasy. Gli americani in particolare, nell'ottica di qualificare quanto più possibile uno specifico che loro ritengono - forse non a torto - loro proprietà esclusiva, hanno di- versificato in una vera e propria miriade di branche le diverse tendenze che appaiono all'interno della Narrativa Fantastica. A quanto pare, il termine "Horror", negli Stati Uniti, offende certi lettori e certi scrittori. Questa parola, difatti, tenderebbe ad evocare immagini e idee grottesche e ripetitive, sorpassate o sfruttate... Forse è giunto il mo- mento di adottare una nuova terminologia.. -
