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.

  • By Lee A. Breakiron a CIMMERIAN WORTHY of the NAME, PART
    REHEAPA Vernal Equinox 2014 By Lee A. Breakiron A CIMMERIAN WORTHY OF THE NAME, PART THREE During his crusade to revitalize Robert E. Howard fanzines with his The Cimmerian, Leo Grin not only initiated a blog, as we saw last time, but also started publishing a new chapbook series called The Cimmerian Library. They were in the same format as the TC journal issues, but had reddish copper covers in a run of 100 copies for $15.00 each. He issued four titles (“volumes”): REHupan Rob Roehm’s An Index to Cromlech and The Dark Man (2005), REHupan Chris Gruber’s “Them’s Fightin’ Words”: Robert E. Howard on Boxing (2006) citing all of Howard’s quotations on the manly sport from his correspondence, with an introduction and index; John D. Haefele’s A Bibliography of Books and Articles Written by August W. Derleth Concerning Derleth and the Weird Tale and Arkham House Publishing (2006) with one “Addenda” [sic] (2008); and Don Herron’s “Yours for Faster Hippos”: Thirty Years of “Conan vs. Conantics” (2007) containing his pivotal critique of REH pasticheurs, especially L. Sprague de Camp, as well as some personal commentary on it and on Bran Mak Morn, Karl Edward Wagner, and Bruce Lee. And to properly celebrate the Centennial of Howard’s birth, as well as the 70th anniversary of his death, the 60th year since the publication of the landmark Arkham House volume Skull-Face and Others, and the 20th year since the first pilgrimage of REHupans to Cross Plains, Texas, Grin wondered what he could “do to make it extra special, to truly convey the respect and admiration I have for the man and his writings?” (Vol.
