Book Synopsis Flame and Crimson: A History of Sword-and-Sorcery by : Brian Murphy
Download or read book Flame and Crimson: A History of Sword-and-Sorcery written by Brian Murphy and published by Pulp Hero Press. This book was released on 2020 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Many Children of Conan Little did then-obscure Texas writer Robert E. Howard know that with the 1929 publication of "The Shadow Kingdom" in the pulp magazine Weird Tales, he had given birth to a new and vibrant subgenre of fantasy fiction. Sword-and-sorcery went from pulp obscurity to mass-market paperback popularity before suffering a spectacular publishing collapse in the 1980s. But it lives on in the broader culture and today enjoys a second life in popular role-playing games, music, and films, and helped give birth to a new literary subgenre known as grimdark, popularized by the likes of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy series. Flame and Crimson: A History of Sword-and-Sorcery provides much-needed definitions and critical rigor to this misunderstood fantasy subgenre. It traces its origins in the likes of historical fiction, to its birth in the pages of Weird Tales, to its flowering in the Frank Frazetta-illustrated Lancer Conan Saga series in the 1960s. It covers its "barbarian bust" beneath a heap of second-rate pastiche, a pack of colorful and wildly entertaining and awful sword-and-sorcery films, and popular culture second life in the likes of Dungeons & Dragons and the bombast of heavy metal music.

Book Synopsis Gothic Tales by : Arthur Conan Doyle
Download or read book Gothic Tales written by Arthur Conan Doyle and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'There was a rumour, too, that he was a devil-worshipper, or something of that sort, and also that he had the evil eye...' Arthur Conan Doyle was the greatest genre writer Britain has ever produced. Throughout a long writing career, he drew on his own medical background, his travels, and his increasing interest in spiritualism and the occult to produce a spectacular array of Gothic stories. Many of Doyle's writings are recognized as the very greatest tales of terror. They range from hauntings in the polar wasteland to evil surgeons and malevolent jungle landscapes. This collection brings together over thirty of Conan Doyle's best "Gothic Tales," in a scholarly edition for the first time. Darryl Jones's introduction discusses the contradictions in Conan Doyle's very public life - as a medical doctor who became obsessed with the spirit world, or a British imperialist drawn to support Irish Home Rule - and shows the ways in which these found articulation in that most anxious of all literary forms, the Gothic.

Schwader, Wade German, Frank Coffman), we have such distinctive items as Ngo Binh Anh Khoa's adaptation of a Korean poetic form to the King in Yellow mythos; Adele Gardner's evocative poem on Edgar Allan Poe; David Barker's ongoing reinterpretations of Lovecraft's Fungi from Yuggoth; Scott J. Couturier's tribute to the inherent strangeness of cats ("Gray Grimalkin"); Carl E. Reed's grim ballad of World War I ("We Met in No-Man's Land"); Margaret Curtis's paean to the "Zombie Moon"; and Lori I. Lopez's long poem on the whippoorwill. In addition, prose-poems by Maxwell I. Gold, LindaAnn LoSchiavo, Harris Coverley, Jay Sturner, and Manuel Arenas grace the issue. The "Classic Reprints" include poems by two California poets of more than a century ago, Ina Coolbrith and Henry Anderson Lafler. Donald Sidney-Fryer reviews the correspondence of Clark Ashton Smith and Samuel Loveman as well as a new, expanded edition of Loveman's collected poetry and other writings, Out of the Immortal Night. All in all, another rich feast for the devotee of the weird in poetry.

Book excerpt: The haunting debut novel by the Bram Stoker Award-winning author—“think Henry James and Joyce Carol Oates with just a few paragraphs of Joe Lansdale” (Tor.com). For the last few years, Veronica Croydon has been at the center of scandal, first as the younger woman for whom her famous professor left his wife, and then as his apparent widow. When a writer staying at the same vacation home as Veronica has the chance to hear her story, he jumps at it.

With its combination of literary complexity and chilling supernatural violence, it is widely considered a masterpiece of contemporary horror fiction. New introduction by Adam Nevill Reading Group Guide included “John Langan is a writer of superb literary horror. Both House of Windows and The Fisherman are dark and unsettling contemporary masterpieces.” —Peter Straub, New York Times bestselling author

Book Synopsis The Troll Inside You by : Ármann Jakobsson
Download or read book The Troll Inside You written by Ármann Jakobsson and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2017 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do medieval Icelanders mean when they say "troll"? What did they see when they saw a troll? What did the troll signify to them? And why did they see them? The principal subject of this book is the Norse idea of the troll, which the author uses to engage with the larger topic of paranormal experiences in the medieval North. The texts under study are from 13th-, 14th-, and 15th-century Iceland. The focus of the book is on the ways in which paranormal experiences are related and defined in these texts and how those definitions have framed and continue to frame scholarly interpretations of the paranormal. The book is partitioned into numerous brief chapters, each with its own theme. In each case the author is not least concerned with how the paranormal functions within medieval society and in the minds of the individuals who encounter and experience it and go on to narrate these experiences through intermediaries. The author connects the paranormal encounter closely with fears and these fears are intertwined with various aspects of the human experience including gender, family ties, and death. The Troll Inside You hovers over the boundaries of scholarship and literature. Its aim is to prick and provoke but above all to challenge its audience to reconsider some of their preconceived ideas about the medieval past.
