In 1976, following the success of his Western novel The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales (1972) andits 1976 film adaptation, The New York Times revealed Forrest Carter was actually southernerAsa Earl Carter. His background became national news again in 1991 after his purportedmemoir, The Education Of Little Tree (1976), was re-issued in paperback, topped the Times

 paperback best-seller lists (both non-fiction and fiction), and won the American BooksellersBook of the Year (ABBY) award.

Prior to his literary career as "Forrest", Carter was politically active for years in Alabama as anopponent of the civil rights movement: he worked as a speechwriter for segregationist GovernorGeorge Wallace of Alabama, founded the North Alabama Citizens Council (NACC) – anindependent offshoot of the White Citizens' Council movement – and an independent Ku KluxKlan group, and started a pro-segregation monthly, titled The Southerner.

Asa Carter was born in Oxford, Alabama in 1925, the second eldest of four children. Despitelater claims (as author "Forrest" Carter) that he was orphaned, he was raised by his parentsRalph and Hermione Carter in nearby Oxford, Alabama. Both parents lived into Carter'sadulthood.

Carter served in the United States Navy during World War II and for a year studied journalismat the University of Colorado on the G.I. Bill. After the war, he married India Thelma Walker.The couple settled in Birmingham, Alabama and had four children.

Carter worked for several area radio stations before ending up at station WILD in Birmingham,where he worked from 1953 to 1955. Carter's broadcasts from WILD, sponsored by theAmerican State's Rights Association, were syndicated to more than 20 radio stations before theshow was cancelled. Carter was fired following community outrage about his broadcasts and a

 boycott of WILD. Carter broke with the leadership of the Alabama Citizen's Council movementover the incident. He refused to tone down his anti-Semitic rhetoric, while the Citizen's Council

 preferred to focus more narrowly on preserving racial segregation of Blacks.

Carter started a renegade group called the North Alabama Citizen's Council. In addition to hiscareers in broadcasting and politics, Carter during these years ran a filling station. By March1956, he was making national news as a spokesman for segregation. Carter was quoted in a UPnewswire story, saying that the NAACP had "infiltrated" Southern white teenagers with"immoral" rock and roll records. Carter called for jukebox owners to purge all records by black

 performers from jukeboxes.

Carter made the national news again on September 1 and 2 of the same year, after he gave aninflammatory anti-integration speech in Clinton, Tennessee. He addressed Clinton's high schoolenrollment of 12 black students, and after his speech an aroused mob of 200 white men stopped

 black drivers passing through, "ripping out hood ornaments and smashing windows". They wereheading for the house of the mayor before being turned back by the local sheriff. Carter appearedin Clinton alongside segregationist John Kasper, who was charged later that same month withsedition and inciting a riot for his activities that day. Later that year, Carter ran for PoliceCommissioner against former office holder Bull Connor, who won the election. Connor later

 became nationally famous for his heavy-handed approach to law enforcement during the civilrights struggles in Birmingham.

In 1957, Carter and his brother James were jailed for fighting against Birmingham policeofficers. The police were trying to apprehend another of the six in their group, who was wanted

for a suspected Ku Klux Klan (KKK) shooting. Also during the mid-1950s, Carter founded a paramilitary KKK splinter group, called the "Original Ku Klux Klan of the Confederacy". Carterstarted a monthly publication entitled The Southerner, devoted to purportedly scientific theoriesof white racial superiority, as well as to anti-communist rhetoric.

Members of Carter's new KKK group attacked singer Nat King Cole at an April 1956Birmingham concert. After a more violent event, four members of Carter's Klan group wereconvicted of a September 1957 abduction and attack on a black handyman named JudgeEdward Aaron. They castrated Aaron, poured turpentine on his wounds, and left him abandonedin the trunk of a car near Springdale, Alabama. Police found Aaron, near death from blood loss.(Carter was not with the men who carried out this attack). In 1963, a parole board, appointed byCarter's then-employer Alabama governor George Wallace, commuted the sentences of the fourmen convicted of attacking Aaron.

In 1958, Carter quit the Klan group he had founded after shooting two members in a disputeover finances. Birmingham police filed attempted murder charges against Carter, but the chargeswere subsequently dropped. Carter also ran a campaign for Lieutenant Governor the same yearthat saw him finish fifth in a field of five.

During the 1960s, Carter was a speechwriter for Wallace. He was one of two men credited withWallace's famous slogan, "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever", part ofWallace's 1963 inaugural speech. Carter continued to work for Wallace, and after Wallace's wifeLurleen was elected Governor of Alabama in 1966, Carter worked for her. Wallace neveracknowledged the role Carter played in his political career, however:

Till the day he died, George Wallace denied that he ever knew Asa Carter. He may have beentelling the truth. 'Ace', as he was called by the staff, was paid off indirectly by Wallace cronies,and the only record that he ever wrote for Wallace was the word of former Wallace campaignofficials such as finance manager Seymore Trammell.

When Wallace decided to enter national politics with a 1968 presidential run, he did not inviteCarter on board for the campaign, as he sought to tone down his reputation as a segregationistfirebrand. During the late 1960s, Carter grew disillusioned by what he saw as Wallace's liberalturn on race.

Carter ran against Wallace for governor of Alabama in 1970 on a white supremacist platform.Carter finished last in a field of five candidates, winning only 1.51% of the vote in an electionnarrowly won by Wallace over the more moderate Governor Albert Brewer. At Wallace's 1971inauguration, Carter and some of his supporters demonstrated against him, carrying signsreading "Wallace is a bigot" and "Free our white children". The demonstration was the lastnotable public appearance by "Asa Carter".

After losing the election, Carter relocated to Abilene, Texas, where he started over. He beganwork on his first novel, spending days researching in Sweetwater's public library. He distancedhimself from his past, began to call his sons "nephews", and renamed himself Forrest Carter,after Nathan Bedford Forrest, the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and a general of theConfederate army who fought in the Civil War.

Carter moved to St. George's Island, Florida in the 1970s where he completed a sequel to hisfirst novel, as well as two books on American Indian themes. Carter separated from his wife,

who remained in Florida. In the late 1970s, he again settled in Abilene, Texas.

Carter's best-known fictional works are The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales (1973, republished in1975 as Gone To Texas) and The Education Of Little Tree (1976), originally published as amemoir. The latter sold modestly – as fiction – during Carter's life; it became a sleeper hit in thelate 1980s and throughout the 1990s.

Clint Eastwood directed and starred in a film adaptation of Josey Wales, retitled The OutlawJosey Wales (1976), after Carter sent the book to his offices as an unsolicited submission, andEastwood's partner read and put his support behind it. At this time, neither man knew ofCarter's past as a Klansman and rabid segregationist. In 1997, after the success of the paperbackedition of The Education Of Little Tree, a film adaptation of the second book was produced.Originally intended as a made-for-TV movie, it was given a theatrical release.

In 1976, Carter published the sequel to The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales, entitled TheVengeance Trail Of Josey Wales which Clint Eastwood planned to film as a sequel to TheOutlaw Josey Wales, but the project was eventually cancelled.

In 1978, Carter published Watch For Me On The Mountain, a fictionalized biography ofGeronimo. It was reprinted in 1980 in an edition titled, Cry Geronimo!

Carter spent the last part of his life trying to conceal his background as a Klansman andsegregationist, claiming categorically in a 1976 The New York Times article that he, Forrest,was not Asa Carter. The article details how as Forrest, Carter was interviewed by BarbaraWalters on the Today show in 1974. He was promoting The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales, whichhad begun to attract readers beyond the confines of the Western genre. Carter, who had run fora campaign for governor of Alabama (as Asa Carter) just four years earlier in a campaign whichincluded television advertising, was identified from this Today show appearance by severalAlabama politicians, reporters and law enforcement officials. The Times also reported that theaddress Carter used in the copyright application for The Rebel Outlaw was identical to the onethat he used in 1970 while running for governor. “Beyond denying that he is Asa Carter”, theTimes noted, “the author has declined to be interviewed on the subject. ”

When the story of Carter’s deception hit the news, it was inevitable that Clint Eastwood would be drawn into the controversy. From Clint Eastwood: A Biography by Richard Schickel, published by Alfred A. Knopf New York 1996:"Clint was on location, making Unforgiven, when this article appeared, and he sent a politeletter to the Times, pointing out that he had met the man he knew as Forrest Carter only once.He also observed, “If Forrest Carter was a racist and a hatemonger who later converted to beinga sensitive, understanding human being, that would be most admirable. ”"But maybe that wasn’t the case either — or possibly Eastwood was being diplomatic. Schickel

also relates that Clint’s producer on Josey Wales, Bob Daley saw another side to Carter:"He saw a decent side to the man, reflected in warm, supportive letters he received from Carteron the death of his father. He also saw vicious anti-Semitism, directed at William Morris agents,when the arguments about money started up. He finally came to the conclusion that Carter was

 basically an opportunist, willfully burying – but not necessarily abandoning – his racism so thathe could rejoin decent society."Carter was working on The Wanderings Of Little Tree, a sequel to The Education Of LittleTree, as well as a screenplay version of the book, when he died in Abilene on June 7, 1979. Thecause of death, reported as heart failure, was alleged to have resulted from a fistfight with hisson. Carter's body was returned to Alabama for burial near Anniston.

 No one will ever know what Carter ’s thoughts and attitudes really were, whether he was, asClint Eastwood thought, "a hatemonger who later converted to being a sensitive, understandinghuman being." But the evidence, such as his public denial that he was Asa Earl Carter, wouldsupport Daley’s claim that he was an opportunist, whose attitudes could and would be put tothe side where financial gain was concerned.

But having said that, as the popularity of the books would attest, Carter was a good writer whowrote stories that were not racist, and depicted Indians in a light that had never really been seenin main stream fiction at that time.

Carter is certainly an enigma. And despite what his actual beliefs may have been, there is nodenying that Gone To Texas is a great western story, and a thoroughly entertaining read.´´´´´Here's an Internet Archive/Open Library find (not on Carlo's List).

As the mysteries of our own earth become yesterday's news, Man seeks other homes wherehuman and other life exist. His unquenchable thirst for the Unknown has compelled him to turnhis eyes to the heavens, and his imagination toward the enigma of the Universe.

These flights of fancy take place on huge and powerful spaceships. Melodramatic landings in theMoon's eye, dangerous visits to Mars with Flash Gordon, the Moon's enigmatic monolith,Barbarella's city, the Forbidden Planet, skies full of suns and moons that shine upon ominousdeserted places, all reached at speeds where time and space stand still. But where doesspeculation end and reality begin?

As we near the 21st Century, science at last seems to be catching up with the fabulous creationsof SF literature and cinema, but the NASA spacecraft that have traveled to the Moon, Venus,Mars, and beyond seem but dull imitations of the marvelous visions of Jules Verne and H. G.Wells, brought brilliantly to life by George Melies, Stanley Kubrick, Steven Spielberg, andGeorge Lucas.

Will we really find Cylons and other dastardly intergalactic armies with whom to do battle in theeternal struggle of good vs. evil? Movies, television,and comics shout a resounding, "Yes!"

Find out for yourselves! Travel at the speed of light with Richard Siegel, J-C Suares, and DavidOwen as they reveal the Moon, Mars, the rest of the Solar System, and the Great Beyond, on a

 journey you won't soon forget."

Henry King, Director: From Silents To Scope. By Henry King. Based On Interviews By DavidShepard And Ted Perry. Edited By Frank Thompson (A Directors Guild of America Publicationin association with the Giornate del Cinema Muto([Los Angeles, CA]: Directors Guild ofAmerica, Inc., [1995]) (viii, 230 pages) {PDF} (31.6 MB)https://mega.nz/#!BwFSUb5B!5S2JOVXNDrtJwG67aU9eLXdmnYwlWPUHX8yUB-mCzFI

Henry King, Director: From Silents To Scope is an autobiography of Hollywood director HenryKing (1886-1982), compiled from a series of interviews with him which were conducted

 between 1976 and 1981.

From the Editor's introduction:"In this book, Henry King talks at length and in great detail about his life and career, whichspanned virtually the entire history of American cinema. ("I'm a pioneer," King Vidor once toldKevin Brownlow. "I've been in this business for years. But even when I first got to Hollywood,Henry King was going strong.") He worked within nearly every conceivable kind of filmmakingstyle: from the filmed-on-location shorts for Lubin in the Teens to the foreign epics of theTwenties like The White Sister (1923) and Romola (1924, both filmed in Italy), to the glossycinema of the Twentieth Century-Fox factory in the Thirties, Forties and Fifties....

Henry King never wrote an autobiography but he was interviewed in great depth several timeslater in his life. The Directors Guild of America, having commissioned some of these interviews,elected to, in effect, construct an autobiography from them.

King's words in this book are drawn from two sources: a series of interviews with King between1976 and 1981 by film historian David Shepard; and a lengthy oral history conducted by TedPerry in 1976. As editor, the task of turning this mountain of conversation into a book seemedstraightforward enough. I was to take well over a thousand pages of interviews and transformthem into a first person narrative, as though King were telling the story of his life and careerindependent of an interviewer....

I hope that the reader will find this informal visit with King as fascinating and informative as Ihave. His storytelling style is rather like his directorial technique: simple, uncluttered andworkmanlike, but filled with details of character and incident that make the stories come alive.For such a prolific artist, King was a remarkably personal filmmaker, drawing on details andemotions from his own past to bring his pictures to life."

About Henry King:Henry King (January 24, 1886 – June 29, 1982) was an American film director, who was born inChristiansburg, Virginia.He waa active as a director from 1916 to 1962, directing many

well-known films including Jesse James, The Song Of Bernadette, Twelve O'Clock High, andCarousel (see Filmography below).

Discovering Comics is a brief but information-packed history of British comic papers (and acouple of American comics, Famous Funnies and Action Comics).

Denis Gifford (26 December 1927 – 18 May 2000) was a British writer, broadcaster, journalist, prolific comic artist and writer (most active in the 1940s, 50s and 60s, and an historian of film,comics, television, and radio. Gifford's work was largely for humor strips in British comics, oftenfor L. Miller & Son. He was a highly influential comics historian, particularly of British comicsfrom the 19th century to the 1940s.

Gifford was also a committed comic collector of British and US comics, and owned what has been called the "world's largest collection of British comics."

Gifford's collection was the product of his lifelong passion for comics and popular culture, andhis highly prolific research work was an attempt to provide a comprehensive history of theephemeral. Particularly in the early decades of his writing on the subject, pop culture drew littleattention from academic research and Gifford was particularly passionate about the mostobscure examples of vintage comics, film, television and radio, and determined that they should

 be recognized, chronicled and remembered before extant copies were lost.

Despite his hopes that his vast collection might form the basis of a national museum of comics,through an archive such as the Victoria and Albert Museum National Art Library Comics andComic Art Collection, it was broken up and auctioned off in 2001 after his death, "leaving 12tons of paper at his home to be cleared and sorted." Bob Monkhouse reflected in the foreword tothe auction catalogue of The Denis Gifford Collection on how one "whose researches were someticulous have allowed this vast gathering of treasures to have swollen into such unruly anduncatalogued confusion". The sale was described in the auction pamphlet as "surely the largest

 private collection of annuals, books, cartoons, cinema history, comics, ephemera & originalartwork ever to come on the market. The collection, housed in some 600 boxes and weighingten tons, arrived on a groaning lorry and took five men nearly three hours to unload. We expectsales to run to some 4000 lots."

About this book:"The comic paper is a familiar sight on every bookstall in the land. No family home is without itscollection of battered Beanos; no attic or junkshop complete without its pile of tattered Eagles.Perhaps comics are too familiar, too common to care about, for only Great Britain is without itslearned society of comic strip historians (as found in France), a serious magazine devoted tocartoon archaeology (as in Italy), or an Academy of Comic Book Arts (as in America). Which isa pity, for comics were born in England.

In this concentrated but definitive history, Denis Gifford traces the evolution of the comic andits heroes from 'Ally Sloper' to 'Dan Dare', from 'Weary Willie and Tired Tim' to 'DesperateDan'. Along the way he exposes a trade secret here and drops a hint to comic collectors there,illustrating the whole with pictorial gems from his own vast collection."

About the author:"Denis Gifford has been collecting comics since he learned to read on Chick's Own, anddrawing comics since he contributed 'Magical Monty' to All Fun in 1942 at the age of fourteen.Better remembered (and better drawn!) are some of his characters which appear on the cover ofthis book: 'MarveIman', 'Jim Bowie', 'Stonehenge Kit the Ancient Brit', 'Flip and Flop','Steadfast McStaunch', 'Our Ernie', 'Mrs. Entwhistle's Little Lad', and of course, Kuthben KooKoo who komperes 'Koo Koo Klub' kurrently in Whizzer and Chips. After a long careercartooning for Beano, Knockout and Comic Cuts, Denis Gifford suddenly threw in his nib andturned to the typewriter. He wrote People Are Funny for Radio Luxembourg, the first dailycomedy series on television, the opening show for BBC 2, and the long-runningradio panel game, Sounds Familiar. He has also published three books about films: BritishCinema, Movie Monsters, and Science Fiction Film."

Robert A. Heinlein: America As Science Fiction was the first full-length study of Robert A.Heinlein's life and literary career. It was originally published in hardcover in 1980 by OxfordUniversity Press. This trade paperback edition marked its first appearance in paperback.

From the back cover:"In 1939, a 32-year-old former naval officer— disabled by tuberculosis saw an ad in ThrillingWonder Stories offering a $50 prize for the best amateur story. Thus began the career of RobertA. Heinlein.

Today, with thirty-six books in print and an audience of many millions, Heinlein is our most popular, controversial, and influential sf author. Known as "the dean of science fiction," he haswon the Hugo award four times, and has been acclaimed by segments of American life asdisparate as the U.S. Naval Academy, the libertarian movement, and Charles Manson. Wordscoined in his fiction have become part of our language.

Here is the only full-length study of Robert Heinlein's entire career. H. Bruce Franklin providesa detailed examination of each of Heinlein'stales and novels (including his 1980 novel The Number Of The Beast), the only complete

 bibliography of his works, an annotated list of writings about him, and original new material about his early life. Franklin also explainsHeinlein's key role in spreading science fictionthroughout American culture in the form of movies, television serials, comic books, and games.

Franklin sees Heinlein as a central cultural phenomenon, an incarnation of "America as sciencefiction," expressing some of the deepestdreams and nightmares of a rapidly changing society. By exploring Heinlein's imagination,Franklin offers us a new way of comprehendingAmerica moving through the Depression, World War II, the Cold War, the Vietnam War, therebellions of the 1960s, and the crises and apocalyptic visions unfolding from the 1970s into the1980s. (A volume in the Science-Fiction Writers Series).

H. Bruce Franklin is Professor of English and American Literature at Rutgers University, Newark, and author of such seminal books as The Wake Of The Gods: Melville's Mythology,Back Where You Came From, and The Victim As Criminal And Artist. His Future Perfect:American Science Fiction Of The Nineteenth Century (GB241) opened science fiction toserious study as literature."

"Given that Heinlein is as central to modern science fiction as science fiction is to contemporaryAmerican culture, the serious study of Heinlein's work should illuminate both contexts. Such isindeed the case in Franklin's lucid and trenchant analysis. Not only does he provide a series ofinterpretations literally bristling with insights but the controlling dynamic which Franklindiscovers at the heart of Heinlein's fiction. . . has implications for both the nature of the genreand the nature of American society." - David Ketterer.

In this book Disch makes several arguments: That America is a nation of liars, and for thatreason science fiction has a special claim to be our national literature, as the art form bestadapted to telling the lies we like to hear and to pretend we believe. That Edgar Allan Poe wasthe first SF author (as opposed to authors such as Mary Shelley or Cyrano de Bergerac). Andthat the three greatest SF authors are Poe, Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. He levels attacksagainst writers who in his opinion have attempted to trick or manipulate readers by presentingscience fiction as fact—namely Erich von Däniken and L. Ron Hubbard—and examines the useof science fiction to promote a political ideology, singling out Ursula K. Le Guin's feminism andRobert A. Heinlein for advocating the growth of the military-industrial complex. The book alsoexamines the manner in which the real world is represented in science fiction allegory, such asthe argument that the aliens of Star Trek represent non-Caucasian humans, and that sciencefiction provides an insight into the strategies of the American military.

About The Author:Thomas Michael Disch (February 2, 1940 – July 4, 2008) was an American science fictionauthor and poet. He won the Hugo Award for Best Related Book – previously called "Best

 Non-Fiction Book" – in 1999, and he had two other Hugo nominations and nine Nebula Awardnominations to his credit, plus one win of the John W. Campbell Memorial Award, a RhyslingAward, and two Seiun Awards, among others.

In the 1960s, his work began appearing in science-fiction magazines. His critically acclaimedscience fiction novels, The Genocides, Camp Concentration, 334 and On Wings Of Song aremajor contributions to the New Wave science fiction movement. In 1996, his book The CastleOf Indolence: On Poetry, Poets, And Poetasters was nominated for the National Book CriticsCircle Award, and in 1999, Disch won the Nonfiction Hugo for The Dreams Our Stuff Is MadeOf, a meditation on the impact of science fiction on our culture, as well as the Michael BraudeAward for Light Verse. Among his other nonfiction work, he wrote theatre and opera criticismfor The New York Times, The Nation, and other periodicals. He also published several volumesof poetry as Tom Disch.

Following an extended period of depression following the death in 2005 of his life-partner,Charles Naylor, Disch stopped writing almost entirely, except for poetry and blog entries –although he did produce two novellas. Disch committed suicide by gunshot on July 4, 2008 inhis apartment in Manhattan, New York City. His last book, The Word Of God, which waswritten shortly before Naylor died, had just been published a few days before Disch's death.

Disch was born in Des Moines, Iowa, on February 2, 1940. Because of a polio epidemic in 1946,his mother Helen home-schooled him for a year. As a result, he skipped from kindergarten tosecond grade. Disch's first formal education was at Catholic schools; which is evidenced in someof his works which contain scathing criticisms of the Catholic Church. The family moved in1953 to St. Paul in Minnesota, rejoining both pairs of grandparents, where Disch attended both

 public and Catholic schools. In the Saint Paul public schools, Disch discovered his long-termloves of science fiction, drama, and poetry. He describes poetry as his stepping-stone to theliterary world. A teacher at St. Paul Central, Jeannette Cochran, assigned 100 lines of poetry to

 be memorized; Disch wound up memorizing ten times as much. His early fascination continuedto influence his work with poetic form and the direction of his criticism.

After graduating from high school in 1957, he worked a summer job as a trainee steel draftsman, just one of the many jobs on his path to becoming a writer. Saving enough to move to New

York City at the age of 17, he found a Manhattan apartment and began to cast his energies inmany directions. He worked as an extra at the Metropolitan Opera House in productions ofSpartacus for the Bolshoi Ballet, Swan Lake for the Royal Ballet, and Don Giovanni, Tosca andothers for the Met. He found work at a bookstore, then at a newspaper. At the age of 18, a

 penniless, friendless, gay teenager, he attempted suicide by gas oven, but survived. Later thatyear, he enlisted in the army. Disch's incompatibility with the armed forces quickly resulted in anearly three-month commitment to a mental hospital.

After his discharge, Disch returned to New York and continued to pursue the arts in his ownindirect way. He worked, again, in bookstores, and as a copywriter. Some of these jobs paid offlater; working as a cloak room attendant in New York theater culture allowed him to both

 pursue his lifelong love of drama and led to work as a magazine theater critic. Eventually, he gotanother job with an insurance company and went to school. A brief flirtation with architectureled him to apply to Cooper Union, where he was told he got the highest score ever on theirentrance exam, but dropped out after a few weeks. He then went to night school at New YorkUniversity (NYU), where classes on novella writing and utopian fiction developed his tastes forsome of the common forms and topics of science fiction. In May 1962, he decided to write ashort story instead of studying for his midterm exams. He sold the story, "The Double Timer",for $112.50, to the magazine Fantastic. Having begun his literary career, he did not return to

 NYU but rather took another series of odd jobs such as bank teller, mortuary assistant, and copyeditor – all of which served to fuel what he referred to as his night-time "writing habit". Overthe next few years he wrote more science fiction stories, but also branched out into poetry; hisfirst published poem, "Echo and Narcissus", appeared in the Minnesota Review's Summer 1964issue.

Disch entered the field of science fiction at a turning point, as the pulp adventure stories of itsolder style began to be challenged by a more serious, adult, and often darker style. Thismovement, called New Wave, tried to show that the ideas and themes of science fiction could

 be developed beyond the simple engineering-mechanical approach of traditional SF. Rather thantrying to compete with mainstream writers on the New York literary scene, Disch plunged intothe emerging genre of science fiction, and began to work to liberate it from some of its strictformula and narrow conventions. His first novel, The Genocides, appeared in 1965; Brian W.Aldiss singled it out for praise in a long review in SF Impulse. Much of his more literary sciencefiction was first published in English author Michael Moorcock's New Wave magazine, NewWorlds.

Disch was widely traveled and lived in England, Spain, Rome, and Mexico. In spite of this, heremained a New Yorker for the last twenty years of his life. He said that "a city like New York,to my mind, is the whole world", keeping a long-time New York residence overlooking UnionSquare.

Writing had become the dominant focus of his life. Disch described his personal transformationfrom dilettante to "someone who knows what he wants to do and is so busy doing it that hedoesn't have much time for anything else." After The Genocides, he wrote Camp Concentrationand 334. More books followed, including science fiction novels and stories, gothic works,criticism, plays, a libretto for an opera of Frankenstein, prose and verse children's books such asA Child's Garden Of Grammar, and ten poetry collections. In the 1980s, he moved from sciencefiction to horror, with a series of books set in Minneapolis: The Businessman, The M.D., ThePriest, and The Sub.

His writing included substantial freelance work, such as regular book and theater reviews forThe Nation, The Weekly Standard, Harper's, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times,The New York Times, the Times Literary Supplement, and Entertainment Weekly. Recognitionfrom his award-winning books led to a year as "artist-in-residence" at William and Mary College.During his long and varied career, Disch found his way into other forms and genres. As a fictionwriter and a poet, Disch felt typecast by his science fiction roots. "I have a class theory ofliterature. I come from the wrong neighborhood to sell to The New Yorker. No matter howgood I am as an artist, they always can smell where I come from."

Though Disch was an admirer of and was friends with the author Philip K. Dick, Dick wouldwrite an infamous paranoid letter to the FBI in October 1972 that denounced Disch andsuggested that there were coded messages, prompted by a covert organization, in Disch's novelCamp Concentration. Disch was unaware and he would go on to champion the Philip K. DickAward. In his final novel, however, The Word Of God, Disch got his revenge on Dick, with astory in which Dick is dead and living in Hell, unable to write because of writer's block. Inreturn for a taste of human blood, which will unlock his ability to write, he makes a deal to go

 back in time and kill Disch's father, so that Disch will never be born, and at the same time to killThomas Mann and thereby to insure that Hitler wins World War II.

He maintained an apartment in New York City, sharing it and a house in Barryville, New York,with his partner of three decades, poet Charles Naylor. Disch's private life remained private, forthe most part. He was publicly gay since 1968; this came out occasionally in his poetry and

 particularly in his 1979 novel On Wings Of Song. He did not try to write to a particularcommunity: "I'm gay myself, but I don't write 'gay' literature." He rarely mentioned his sexualityin interviews, though he was interviewed by the Canadian gay periodical The Body Politic in1981. After Naylor's death in 2005, Disch had to abandon the house, as well as fight attempts toevict him from his rent controlled apartment, and he became steadily more depressed. He wroteon a LiveJournal account from April 2006 until his death (he committed suicide by fatallywounding himself in the head via gunshot), in which he posted poetry and journal entries.

Disch was an outspoken atheist as well as a satirist; his last novel The Word Of God was published by Tachyon Publications in the summer of 2008. His last published work, the posthumous story collection The Wall Of America, contains material from last half of Disch'scareer.

[The Master's Choice Of His Own Favorites]. By Isaac Asimov (Garden City, NY: Doubleday& Company, Inc., 1986) (xiv, 345 pages) (Cover art by Robert Aulicino) {PDF} (35.4 MB)https://mega.nz/#!c4FFkSzK!qzgIg6d_c8-RJb7xwxUiy_o2xet2j7cOjR3khvMgk4Y

The Best Mysteries Of Isaac Asimov is a collection of thirty-one mystery stories by IsaacAsimov, seven of which were previously uncollected. It was originally published in hardcover in1986 by Doubleday & Company.

CONTENTS:"I have chosen the stories I consider the best and not necessarily those that critics or readers do."So says Isaac Asimov of this marvelous newanthology, the first "best of" edition of his extraordinary mysteries.

From the classic Black Widower and Union Club series to a wide variety of other intriguingtales, many of the thirty-one selections in this volume have never before been collected in bookform. Each is introduced with a short and lively commentary from the Good Doctor himself, andall add up to the perfect Asimov formula for sheer entertainment and pure delight.

Discover here "The Obvious Factor," the haunting account of a young woman's psychic power,and of a mystery more bizarre than the supernatural; "The Sign," a clever tale that appliesknowledge of the zodiac to solve a grisly murder; "A Problem of Numbers," in which the key toa young man's happiness lies in the solution to a cryptogram—if he can find it; and twenty-eightother puzzlers that bring a dazzling new luster to an age-old and timeless genre.

With its potent mix of mayhem and madness, eerie twilight places and startling reality, The BestMysteries Of Isaac Asimov offers a feast for fans and a very special treasury for those meetingthe Master for the first time.

Isaac Asimov has written over 340 books on subjects ranging from the Bible and Shakespeare tomath and alien encounters. He is perhaps the best known—and certainly the best loved—of allscience fiction authors, with over ten million copies of his works sold worldwide....The BestMysteries Of Isaac Asimov is the companion volume to The Best Science Fiction Of IsaacAsimov..."

Heliosium saying.....................by Heliosium.

That God (a kind of The Force, but having control of it all , as it is inside Nature) exists, doesnot mean the jewbible is true. The Bible is a edited version of the Sumerian tablets plus thehistory of Jewland, with every notion they could grab from the neighbor´s legends. Seems Godhas never talked with Moses, never has come as Jesus the man, and simply because is part of theworld. Does not need to "come".Why?Look "matter", existing in a minimum quantity inside the atom, that in true words, is only

Dime Mystery Magazine v10 n04 [1936-03]

Dime Mystery Magazine began its monthly run in December 1932 as Dime Mystery BookMagazine, which contained a "two-dollar novel" and two to three short stories for ten-cents.The content was the general mystery/ detective fiction like that found in Dime Detective. Thecovers of each issue featured the image of a book, on the cover of which appeared the actualcover-art. It suggested that one was indeed receiving a full-length novel for the price of amagazine. The long novel form proved problematic, however, and the title was failing after justa few issues.

Steeger, hoping to create a companion title to Dime Detective, decided to move the magazine ina new direction with the October 1933 issue. In doing so, Steeger created a new genre: "weirdmenace" or "shudder" pulps. In this transformation, the magazine dropped both the "Book" fromits title and the book from its cover art. Steeger also changed the form of the magazine: ratherthan one large novel, he included a half-novel sized novella, two to three shorter novelettes, andseveral short stories.

Inspired by Grand Guignol French theatre and Gothic melodrama, the weird menace genre wasa combination of mystery and terror; this combination is more of a continuum, however, andoccasionally, the magazine's individual stories tend towards hardboiled detective fiction on theone hand or outright horror on the other. The editors, although lax in their demand for a specificmixture of the two genres, were consistent in their demand for a natural/ rational, if oftenunbelievable, explanation behind the seemingly-supernatural, sensational plot twists integral tothe story. Regarding the preferred content, Terrill stated:

In Dime Mystery Magazine we want the same strong emotional terror, but are more apt todemand a definite mystery angle. Here we also prefer lay characters who by force ofcircumstances are thrown into a terrific plight, where there is a sinister menace against the heroand heroine. We do our best to keep away from detective characters of any kind; the newspaperreporter is also overdone. Doctors, lawyers, clerks, lay figures in ordinary walk of life are the

 best material. And in Dime Mystery, we demand a convincing motivation for the villain'sactions. He may be mentally unbalanced, may be suffering from a complex, but he should befiendishly clever, should have a sound reason for his villainy. We will permit a strong scientificangle if within the realm of the possible, but we prefer to avoid the pseudo-scientific.... [I]n allcases the villain should be brought to heel by the direct efforts of the hero.

Villains in these stories were often physically deformed and/ or psychopathic killers who "carriedout horrible and unaccountable murders" through greed- or lust-driven motives, while "the singlegreatest threat in the weird menace story was the dread of vivisection."

Dime Mystery only credited its artists in the first two years of its history, and so many of thoseartists now remain unknown. Delos Palmer and Walter M. Baumhofer are two very famousexceptions, however, from the beginning of the magazine's run. Baumhofer illustrated the

 premier covers for The Spider and Doc Savage. He also sold work to the slicks, includingCosmopolitan and McCall's. Known interior-artists include John Fleming Gould, a Popular

Publications workhorse, and Amos Sewell, who also did work for The New York Times andThe Saturday Evening Post.

The peak of the "weird menace" phase of Dime Mystery coincided with the most profitable yearfor its publishing house; Popular Publications had one hundred and thirty pulp titles that wereread by thirty million people a month in 1937. Since the Audit Bureau of Circulations listsPopular’s publications as a master group, combining its titles into one statistic, determiningspecific circulation numbers for Dime Mystery is difficult. Nonetheless, considering that Popularcontinued the genre in titles such as Terror Tales and Horror Stories, other publishing housesattempted to emulate the genre, and that the magazine was relatively long lived (1932-1949),we can surmise that the title was quite popular, especially during its iconic sensual, violentincarnation.

Like any good mystery plot, the denouement of Dime Mystery’s sadism phase quickly followedits 1937 climax. By late 1938, the magazine had almost entirely phased out its over-the-top sexand violence. Hoppenstand and Browne blame "formula saturation" for the demise of thesadistic phase of weird menace, and suggest that audiences had become desensitized to theviolence and sensationalism of the formulaic fiction. From 1938 to 1940, the "defectivedetective" characters took over the content of the magazine as the "sex-sadism" was phased out.Rather than concentrating on "weird menace," the fiction contained a deformed or diseased herodetective who "protected society against the most ghastly of villains…and guarded 'normal' folkfrom being afflicted with the most abominable of physical terrors." Heroes were more"humanized" through their afflictions. No longer idealized, they instead overcame terrible

 physical obstacles and ailments.

About The Author:Robert Ervin Howard (January 22, 1906 – June 11, 1936) was an American author who wrote

 pulp fiction in a diverse range of genres. He is well known for his character Conan the Barbarianand is regarded as the father of the sword and sorcery subgenre.

Howard was born and raised in the state of Texas. He spent most of his life in the town of CrossPlains with some time spent in nearby Brownwood. A bookish and intellectual child, he wasalso a fan of boxing and spent some time in his late teens bodybuilding, eventually taking upamateur boxing. From the age of nine he dreamed of becoming a writer of adventure fiction butdid not have real success until he was 23. Thereafter, until his death by suicide at age 30,Howard's writings were published in a wide selection of magazines, journals, and newspapers,and he had become successful in several genres. Although a Conan novel was nearly publishedin 1934, his stories never appeared in book form during his lifetime. The main outlet for hisstories was the Depression-era pulp magazine Weird Tales.

In the pages of Weird Tales, Howard created Conan the Barbarian, a character whose culturalimpact has been compared to such icons as Batman, Count Dracula, James Bond, SherlockHolmes, and Tarzan. With Conan and his other heroes, Howard created the genre now knownas sword and sorcery, spawning many imitators and giving him a large influence in the fantasyfield. Howard remains a highly read author, with his best works still reprinted.

Howard’s suicide and the circumstances surrounding it have led to speculation about his mentalhealth. His mother had been ill with tuberculosis his entire life, and upon learning she hadentered a coma from which she was not expected to wake, he walked out to his car and shothimself in the head.

.Howard's first published novel, A Gent From Bear Creek, was printed in Britain one year afterhis death. This was followed in the United States by a collection of Howard's stories, Skull-FaceAnd Others (1946) and then the novel Conan The Conqueror (1950). The success of Conan TheConqueror led to a series of Conan books from publisher Gnome Press, the later editor of whichwas L. Sprague de Camp. The series led to the first Conan pastiche, the novel The Return OfConan by de Camp and Swedish Howard fan Bj örn Nyberg. De Camp eventually achievedcontrol over the Conan stories and Conan brand in general. Oscar Friend took over from Klineas literary agent and he was followed by his daughter Kittie West. When she closed the agencyin 1965, a new agent was required. De Camp was offered the role but he recommended GlennLord instead. Lord began as a fan of Howard and had re-discovered many unpublished piecesthat would otherwise have been lost, printing them in books such as Always Comes Evening(1957) and his own magazine The Howard Collector (1961–1973). He became responsible forthe non-Conan works and later restored, textually-pure versions of the Conan stories themselves.

In 1966, de Camp made a deal with Lancer Books to republish the Conan series, which led tothe "First Howard Boom" of the 1970s; their popularity was enhanced by the cover artwork ofFrank Frazetta on most of the volumes. Many of his works were reprinted (some printed for thefirst time) and they expanded into other media such as comic books and films. The Conan storieswere increasingly edited by de Camp and the series was extended by pastiches until theyreplaced the original stories. In response, a puristic movement grew up demanding Howard'soriginal, un-edited stories. The first boom ended in the mid-1980s. In the late 1990s and early21st century, the "Second Howard Boom" occurred. This saw the printing of new collections ofHoward's work, with the restored texts desired by purists. As before, the boom led to new comic

 books, films and computer games.

About The Cover Artist:Penrhyn Stanlaws was born March 19, 1877 in Dundee Scotland as Stanley Adamson. When he

 became an illustrator, he changed his name to avoid confusion with the name of his older brother, painter and illustrator, Sydney Adamson.

Stanlaws' art could be found on numerous magazine covers throughout the 1910's and 20's,including the Saturday Evening Post, The American Magazine, Collier's, Life, Judge, TheMetropolitan Magazine and Hearst's International.

He was best known for his magazine cover-art depicting beautiful women. His "Stanlaws Girl"rivaled the "Gibson Girl" and was modeled on silent star Anna Q. Nilsson. In 1915, tragic earlysilent film star Olive Thomas was another of Stanlaws' subjects in the famed nude "BetweenPoses". Other early stars who posed for him included Mabel Normand and Florence La Badie.Stanlaws would actually move to California to direct a few films himself in the early 1920's.

Prior to that though, while still in New York, Stanlaws organized a syndicate to build the Hoteldes Artistes which still stands on 1 West 67th Street. Built as a co-op, but with rental units as

exiled Stygian prophet Horaspes. He is likely to need it soon, as his queen Nitokar has been poisoning him. The thieves hope to plunder the new tomb and the ancient catacombs underlyingthem. Conan investigates the catacombs between flings with Zafriti and Abaddrah's princessAfrit and a spell in captivity during which he must battle an antagonist armed with snakes.

The situation escalates when the villainous Horaspes unleashes his true scheme, and an army ofthe undead attacks Abaddrah. After much mayhem, Conan comes out of it all with the jewel hesought in the first place.

Reviewer Ryan Harvey considered the novel "the best Leonard Carpenter entry in the series I'veyet read," writing that "it starts weakly and episodically, but slaps together a busy and excitingconclusion." He felt it "heads into Indiana Jones territory, and is basically an Egyptiantomb-robbing adventure in a fantasy setting." Despite "the derivative tomb-robbing plot [i]t hasa touch more horror to it than other pastiches, and I always appreciate a pastiche writer willingto dig down into the more horrific side of the Weird Tales legacy."

From the back cover:In the ancient land of Shem, Conan joins with tomb-robbers to loot the untold wealth piled upin the huge royal mausoleum, yet so simple a decision enmeshes the mighty Cimmerian inintrigues and danger on every side.

 Nitokar, devious queen of Shem. Zafriti, sultry Stygian dancer. Afrit, beautiful young princessand rebel. Each wants Conan—as a man, and as a tool to carry out her designs. Sentenced toslave at building the greatest tomb Shem has ever seen,condemned to death in the Court Games,Conan finds himself confronting the evil plans of the Necromancer Horaspes, who would rulekingdoms beyond life. To survive, Conan of Cimmeria must conquer the Armies of the Dead; tofail means the death of the world.

Plus a Special Bonus! CONAN THE INDESTRUCTIBLE —a history of Conan and his times by L. Sprague de Camp."

Here's a webfind (not on Carlo's List) of the 1984 book The Faces Of Science Fiction by PattiPerret in EPUB and MOBI formats.

In 1984, photoessayist Patti Perret and (the now vanished) Bluejay Press released a collection of photographs of eighty-two of the best-known science fiction authors of the day entitled TheFaces Of Science Fiction which was published simultaneously in both hardcover and trade

 paperback formats (the hardcover had a much smaller print run). Each author contributed a personal statement to accompany their photograph. In those pre-Internet days, the book offeredmany science fiction fans the first opportunity to actually see what their favorite authors lookedlike. Both the hardcover and softcover versions of the book sold out quickly. The book becamean instant collector's item and was used for autographs at science fiction conventions. Acompanion volume, The Faces Of Fantasy, was published by Tor in 1996.

Sadly, this EPUB version of the book is poorly formatted and doesn't do justice to the book.

The book was originally published in an oblong format with most of the photographs filling anentire page. In this EPUB, the photographs of the authors, which are the main attraction of the

 book, are for the most part turned on their side (!!). In a mobile device such as an eBook readeror tablet, I suppose you could turn the device to view the photographs properly but trying toview them on a computer monitor is a royal pain. This is a book that someday really deserves a

It was the first volume in The Cunningham Equations trilogy, followed by The Black Magicianin 1986 and Maximum Effort in 1987.

From the front cover:“Thousands wanted greater intelligence, and they got it —but money was the smallest part of the

 price.“

From the back cover:“THE PAWN AND THE LIVING DEAD:Blaise Cunningham was a Nobel-Prize winner, the world's foremost expert in artificialintelligence and one of the best computer programmers alive. He was also a falling-down drunkwhose only friends were an intelligent computer, a good woman, a bad scientist, and a frisky

 puppy named Dobie.But Cunningham had plenty of enemies, including a couple of would-be dognappers. Theywanted Dobie, and Cunningham didn't know why. He was afraid they'd kill the puppy, and hecouldn't allow that. Even a drunk has to have some principles.It was a while before Cunningham realized that he was just a pawn in a game where science waswarring for men's souls and thousands of lives had already been sacrificed!”

G. C. Edmondson has been writing science-fiction short stories and novels for several decades.He lives in Lakeside, California.

C. M. Kotlan, a resident of O'Brien, Oregon, has been an editor of pulp fiction. TheCunningham Equations is their second collaboration."

About The Authors:G. C. Edmondson was the working name of science fiction author Garry Edmonson (full name"José Mario Garry Ordoñez Edmondson y Cotton") (October 11, 1922 in Washington state –December 14, 1995 in San Diego, California). According to the obituary published in LocusMagazine, Edmondson was born in Rachauchitlán, Tabasco, Mexico. During World War II heserved as a U. S. Marine.

Although generally called a science fiction writer he also wrote Westerns using the names KellyP. Gast, J. B. Masterson, and Jack Logan. As he could also speak six languages he didtranslating work as well. His science fiction career began during 1955 with a story in themagazine Astounding. He later produced several novels which gained some note for theirinterest in time travel and Latin America. Several writers, including Gardner Dozois, tend toconsider him as a neglected author.

Charles Michael Kotlan (29 March 1940 - 3 December 2009) was a science fiction author whowas born in New Mexico. He co-authored four novels with G. C. Edmondson in the 1980s.

The People Of The Mist. By H. Rider Haggard. Introduction By Lin Carter (Ballantine 23680)(New York: Ballantine Books, 1973) (xii, 365 pages) (Wraparound cover art by Dean Ellis){PDF} (71.1 MB)https://mega.nz/#!QhlVRJRD!gEHAZWO9iOGMtTJhBT0wIConoKiPDme7h653E-L0qB4

The People Of The Mist is a classic lost race fantasy novel written by H. Rider Haggard. It wasfirst published serially in the weekly magazine Tit-Bits, between December 1893 and August1894; the first edition in book form was published in hardcover in London by Longmans inOctober, 1894.

The work's importance was recognized in December, 1973, by its revival by Ballantine Books asthe sixty-third paperback volume of the celebrated Ballantine Adult Fantasy series.

The People Of The Mist is the tale of a British adventurer seeking wealth in the wilds of Africa,finding romance, and discovering a lost race and its monstrous god.

The penniless Leonard Outram attempts to redress the undeserved loss of his family estates andhis fiancee by seeking his fortune in Africa. In the course of his adventures, he and his Zulucompanion Otter save a young Portuguese woman, Juanna Rodd, together with her nursemaidSoa, from slavery. Leonard and Juanna are plainly attracted to each other, but prone to

 bickering, and their romance is impeded by the watchful and jealous Soa. The protagonists seekthe legendary People of the Mist, said to possess a fabulous hoard of jewels. On finding them,they immediately become embroiled in the turbulent political affairs of the lost race, which isriven by a power-struggle between its king and the priests of its giant crocodile god. The heroicOutram can do little more than react to events. The action climaxes in a hair-raising escape by

tobogganning a large flat stone down a steep glacier.

"Per ardua ad astra", the motto of the Royal Air Force and other Commonwealth air forces, firstadopted a generation after publication, has been attributed to a passage from the book: "To hisright were two stately gates of iron fantastically wrought, supported by stone pillars on whosesummit stood griffins of black marble embracing coats of arms and banners inscribed with thedevice 'Per Ardua ad Astra'.

About The Author:Sir Henry Rider Haggard, KBE (22 June 1856 – 14 May 1925) — known as H. Rider Haggard

 — was an English writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and a pioneer of the Lost World literary genre. He was also involved in agricultural reform throughoutthe British Empire. His stories, situated at the lighter end of Victorian literature, continue to be

 popular and influential.

About The Ballantine Adult Fantasy Series:The Ballantine Adult Fantasy series was an imprint of Ballantine Books which has beenconsidered a high-water mark in fantasy publishing. Launched in 1969 (presumably in responseto the growing popularity of Tolkien's works), the series reissued a number of works of fantasyliterature which were out of print or dispersed in back issues of pulp magazines (or otherwisenot easily available in the United States), in cheap paperback form—including works by authorssuch as James Branch Cabell, Lord Dunsany, Ernest Bramah, Hope Mirrlees, and WilliamMorris. Sixty-five volumes had been published by the time the series concluded in 1974.

Envisioned by the husband-and-wife team of Ian and Betty Ballantine, and edited by Lin Carter,it featured cover art by illustrators such as Gervasio Gallardo, Robert LoGrippo, David McCallJohnston, and Bob Pepper. The agreement signed between the Ballantines and Carter on

 November 22, 1968 launched the project. In addition to the reprints comprising the bulk of theseries, some new fantasy works were published as well as a number of original collections andanthologies put together by Carter, and Imaginary Worlds, his general history of the modernfantasy genre.

The series was never considered a money-maker for Ballantine, although the re-issue of severalof its titles both before and after the series' demise shows that a number of individual workswere considered successful. The Ballantines supported the series as long as they remained the

 publishers of Ballantine Books, but with their sale of the company to Random House in 1973support from the top was no longer forthcoming, and in 1974, with the end of the Ballantines'involvement in the company they had founded, the series was terminated.

The Ballantine Adult Fantasy Series proper, May 1969 to April 1974:This is a checklist of volumes published as part of the series, based on a listing by Lin Carter inImaginary Worlds: The Art Of Fantasy with the addition of books new to Ballantine publishedunder the Unicorn's Head colophon thereafter.
