Re: More on Lovecraft

Not apostrophes, I meant quotation marks, of course.

Re: The Twilight Zone

On Stephen King's recommendation (in Danse Macabre) I have been watching the original Outer Limits and Thriller series. I think they are better than Zwilight Zone, more unusual and nuanced, and the...

Re: More on Lovecraft

Besides, if he had really written "Esquimau[x]", then why did the editor of Weird Tales change it into "Eskimo" (at least twice in the text)? For what reason? If so, the edit would clearly have been...

Re: European Weird

I thought it was effectively written, but the allegory is too clear which did not really appeal to my interest.

Re: European Weird

Have you read and enjoyed Hanns Heinz Ewers (The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Alraune) and Matthew Gregory Lewis (The Monk)?

Re: More on Lovecraft

I see now that Lovecraft used "Esquimau[x]" in the story "Polaris", so I assume that is why Joshi changed the word in "Call of Cthulhu" from Weird Tales, to make Lovecraft's spelling consistent. ...

Re: More on Lovecraft

Why was the spelling "Esquimau" used in "The Call of Cthulhu" for Joshi's corrected 9th printing of The Dunwich Horror and Others? According to the note on the texts, no manuscript for "The Call of...

Re: More on Lovecraft

The Lovecraft Chronicles sounds fairly amusing. Whether or not Lovecraft would have spiraled from a sensitive aesthetic and cultural conservative, into a fullfledged liberal who embraced Hollywood,...

Re: More on Lovecraft

I wonder ..., if Lovecraft had lived for a few decades more, I assume he would have moved on from Weird Tales, into the changing era of the new science fiction market, under the editorship of the...

Re: Favorite Horror Movies

How do you guys like the colorized version of Night of the Living Dead (1968)? Not exactly natural colors, but I think it is effective. Gives added life to the film, and a kind of bizarre, dreamlike...

Re: Robert E. Howard and Materialism

I read the whole Gollancz collection The Complete Chronicles of Conan: Centenary Edition, from cover to cover, and then found out that it was censored! I hope I will find time eventually to re-read...

Re: Recent Reading

Yes, that's it. Or rather, a precursor to it: The Aquatic Ape (1982). I think I read it in the late 1980s.

I ought to have read On the Origin of the Species long ago, but did not come around to it...

Re: Robert E. Howard and Materialism

I have the Wordsworth collection The Right Hand of Doom. It was also censored. Del Rey seems to be the only available edition of Howard that is not censored; if one tolerates that almost every page...

Re: Recent Reading

If there is a God (or at least, a Life force pushing things into animation), Man's puny intellect has it all mixed up with his own morals, needs, and desires, thus anthropomorphizing God. The church...

Re: Robert E. Howard and Materialism

The Grant editions were chopped to pieces; many paragraphs were removed, and text altered to avoid some unpleasant 1930s racist language.

Re: Recent Reading

I just finished reading Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859). It certainly is one of the great classics. The whole book is written as an argument, and it did get tiresome in-between since...

Re: A Glimpse of the Future

Three stories by John W. Campbell address the far distant future of robotics, in a poetic and haunting way:

"The Last Evolution" (1932)
"Twilight" (1934)
"Night" (1935)

Re: Algernon Blackwood

"Max Hensig - Bacteriologist and Murderer" is great, except near the end where Blackwood stumbles on the sentences (perhaps he had a few real drinks too many by then?). An interesting, scary, and...
