Lucius Shepard, He Was a Friend of Mine
EDITORIAL Sheila Williams LUCIUS SHEPARD, HE WAS A FRIEND OF MINE “Not Long after the Christlight of the world’s first morning faded, when birds still flew to heaven and back, and even the wickedest things shone like saints, so pure was their portion of evil, there was a village by the name of Hangtown that clung to the back of the dragon Griaule.” These are the evocative opening words to Lucius Shepard’s “The Scalehunter’s Beautiful Daughter,” a novella that won the 1988 Lo- cus Poll and came in second in our own Readers’ Award poll. In all the years that I’ve worked at Asimov’s, this is, perhaps, the loveliest beginning to a story I’ve ever en- countered. My own friendship with Lucius began about thirty years ago when we published “A Traveler’s Tale” in our July 1984 issue. I first met him in our office in the spring of 1984. He was moving to New York from Florida, and for a while I got to see him in person fairly often. After a couple of sublets in Manhattan, he moved to Staten Island and visits became rare. But, like many of his friendships, our relationship continued to grow and deepen over the telephone. In those days before Amazon, he was a bit iso- lated in that outer borough, so calls would come in asking for favors—can you mail me a ream of computer paper? How about a copy of the I Ching? I need its advice for a story I’m working on. -
