Bittere Ironie ja auch, dass die Science Fiction Times in den "alten Tagen" so was wie das Sprachrohr des linken Flügels der Szene war.

Oktober-Tipp Nr.7:
Und wieder ein Sachbuch. Dies ist eine Sammlung von Essays, kein wissenschaftliches Buch, aber wirklich gut um die verschiedenen Bereiche der Satanic Panic, von Heavy Metal über Filme bis zu Pen&Paper kennenzulernen. Teilweise etwas redundant, aber nett und sehr schön gestaltet.

Printausgabe von Satanic Panic. Pop-Cultural Paranoia in the 1980s. Edited by Kier-La Janisse and Paul Corupe

1/3 According to a Flemish folktale, bokkenrijders or buckriders, who were said to be thieves, ghosts, or sometimes even witches, and rode through the sky on the backs of goats in Flanders and the Netherlands, had stolen the Queen's laundry.

So pleased to be part of this epic exploration of destape-era Spanish exploitation - a wild, under-explored era of no-holds-barred sleazy cinema crossed with arthouse ideas. I do commentaries on three titles here that I think sum up the era's mad vibe, mixing gore, sex, politics and experimentalism.

Continuing our early career retrospective of C. L. Moore with "Miracle in Three Dimensions" (1939) in STRANGE STORIES - but is this really a C. L. Moore tale?

“Miracle in Three Dimensions” (1939) by C. L. Moore

Strange Stories (1939-1941) was one of the rivals that rose during a fantasy boom in the waning years of Farnsworth Wright’s term as editor of Weird Tales. While many of the rivals had little…

There is a big gap, writing-wise, between the last Kull tale & the first Conan tale. In that gap, Howard was writing historical adventure fiction, horror stories, began corresponding with H. P. Lovecraft, fully embraced his Celtic phase, & wrote his Bran Mak Morn tales. All of these went into Conan.

"Martian" Allie @marcallie.bsky.social · 1d

After reading all Howard's Conan stories a few years back, I'm reading all his Kull stories. I was expecting the tales to be very similar, but so far they are quite different. Any ideas as to why this is?

A someone who has written extensively about the eugenic roots that permeates those who claim to be building so-called artificial general intelligence, I'm here to tell you to please NOT compare criticism against corporations claiming to build a machine god, with eugenics. The audacity.

if you're writing a sentence that sounds like eugenics but you go "oh that's fine to say because it's not a real person" (whatever that means) you may want to consider what made you okay with saying that.

Britain was hugely influential in the creation of the new wave of science fiction. But unlike America, virtually none of these texts made it to the screen. THE FINAL PROGRAMME is one of the very few exceptions.

Ist auch einer meiner großen Lieblinge. 🖤 Einige Szenen haben sich mir in Kindertagen eingebrannt und mich nie wieder verlassen. Hab die später dann sogar in eines meiner selbst geschriebenen "Spielbücher / Soloabenteuer" eingebaut.
