SOCIAL

Well, if #Gamergate weren’t enough, now we’ve got Requires Only Hate Gate:  Seems that one Benjanun – who has been identified as a slew of other online accounts (and may not be the final identity in the whole button, button, whose got the button mess) has been stalking, harassing and otherwise acting not-nicely all over the genre web, with ire particularly reserved for other authors.  The tone has taken a social justice warrior tone – accusing Asian authors of being not Asian enough for example – but this might only be a convenient ploy to draw supporters into the circle.  Meanwhile, over on another corner of the net, Nick Mamatas – who outed the identities on his ‘ello account – is being taken to task for the outing.  Info here and here and here and here and here and here and here.

The above issue is morphing out into all kinds of side-discussions, chief among them being the question of “when and how does the community forgive and forget?” – as in, Benjanun’s fiction is really the bees-knees, so we oughta kinda oughta forget all the hate and damage in order to preserve the talent.  This, followed by questions of how we deal with creators whose personally held feelings about core subjects (those feelings not being in line with the whole SJW thing) oughta be treated:  the Orson Scott Card card was played – as if TOR continuing to publish works by him has some kind of equivalency to the Benjanun thing.

Two things:  1.  Card (and others) have used their fame and reach for the express purpose of foisting nasty garbage on anyone that cared to read.  If TOR wants to pay a price for the at-a-glance association with those reprehensible views (which they haven’t), well then bully for them;  it’s not as if they’re contemplating publishing the Collected Anti-Gay Writings of Orson Scott Card and publishing them under the SF imprint.  But to my knowledge Card is NOT anonymously visiting a slew of forums and chats and personally directing his beliefs at individuals in public.  He’s putting his views out there, under his own name, in public, for everyone else to deal with as they will. The Benjanun actions’s are a far, far different kind of thing.  Call Card’s writings passive-aggressive.  Call Benjanun’s actions – all aggressive. 2. At every level – from corporate, through editiorial, through personal, the decision of whether or not to ban/boycot/blacklist/campaign against is a personal one.  We’re unable to isolate these kinds of issues as money, relationships, politics and a slew of other considerations enter the picture. (“I really love Ender’s Game.  I really hate the author’s view on Gay Marriage.  I hate even more that the acclaimed novel has given the author a bully pulpit for those views.  What to do, what to do?” – not me, just a generalized summation of one particular quandry.  Me?  I thought the novelette as originally publishing in Analog was atrocious and unworthy of the magazine.)  Plus – money.  So, we’re left with a situation – unresolvable – in which Benjanun’s actions rise to the level of being deserving of so-called blacklisting (no one should buy her stuff and ought to be thrown into the pit if they do) for some, and won’t rise to that level of action for others.  Take a breath – this is freedom of expression at work.  Everyone will have to make their own calculus as to how they are going to deal.  The more important activity is to continue to unravel this bizarre affair, get to the bottom and find out who really Benjanun is, determine if that person is – as many have suggested – clinically certifiable – and move on from there.  In the meantime, a bunch of editors have a hot potato in their hands;  my suggestion is that anyone publishing stories by Benjanun in future be up front and explain (editorially or otherwise) what their thought process was.  In the meantime  – thank goodness Amazing isn’t accepting submissions!

A New Category Added to the Sunburst Awards

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Sunburst Award Society Announces New Submission Guidelines to Include E-Books

Toronto, Ontario (November 7, 2014) The Sunburst Award Committee announced today that they have moved into the digital age. Starting with the 2015 awards, they will accept e-book versions of submissions as well as print ones.

“It will help publishers to submit, especially smaller ones. Postage costs have increased dramatically over the last several years and print books have a cost of their own.” says Peter Halasz, one of the founders of the awards. “We also expect to reduce our own costs since we mail as many as 120 – 130 books annually to each of five jurors.”

“As the publishing landscape continues to change, we expect the number of print books submitted to drop significantly over the next few years,” says Rebecca Simkin, the organization’s current chairperson. “Since most of our jurors and administrators overwhelmingly prefer print books they will indeed be missed, but with the generous support of Kobo Writing Life, we are able to supply the jury with new Kobo Arc tablets for their Sunburst deliberations.”

The Sunburst Awards have set up a page on their website where publishers will be able to go to upload their e-book files and where the jurors can download them to their e-readers. They are now open to submissions of books published in 2014 for consideration for the 2015 award.

About the Sunburst Awards: The Sunburst Award for Excellence in Canadian Literature of the Fantastic is a juried award which recognizes exceptional writing in three categories: adult, young adult and short story. The awards are presented each fall to the best Canadian speculative fiction novel, book-length collection, or short story published any time during the previous calendar year.

Named after the first novel by Phyllis Gotlieb (1926–2009), one of the first celebrated writers of contemporary Canadian science fiction, the award is a cash prize of $1,000 for each of the Adult and Young Adult categories, and of $500 for the short story category. All three awards are presented with the distinctive Sunburst medallion. The awards are presented in the fall of each year.

For additional information about the Sunburst Award, the nominees and jurors, as well as previous awards, eligibility and the selection process, please visit the website at www.sunburstaward.org.

Night Shade

NIGHT SHADE AT WORLD FANTASY THIS WEEKENDTraditionally, Night Shade Books has tabled at the World Fantasy Convention, and I’m very excited to announce that we will be at this year’s World Fantasy in Washington DC.   Long time Night Shade anthology editor Ellen Datlow will be there. She is receiving the well deserved Lifetime Achievement Award. Additionally, Laird Barron’s collection The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All is up for a World Fantasy Award for best collection, though he will not be in attendance.   Night Shade authors attending World Fantasy this year include: Bradley P. Beaulieu Ellen Datlow Betsy Dornbusch David Drake Joe Haldeman Michael J. Martinez Stina Leicht Robin Riopelle Courtney Schafer S. M. Stirling Mark Teppo Rick Wilber Night Shade’s table will be up and running Friday through Sunday in the Dealers Room. Stop by to say hi, as many of these authors will be signing at our table, or keep an eye on our our Twitter (@nightshadenews) for updates and events. The mass autograph signing on Friday night is always fun, and we will be there to ensure our authors have books for you to buy and sign. You can also find the programming for the convention here.   You may want to set your schedule some of these Night Shade-related panels and events:   Thursday, November 6: Ice Cream Social Time: 8:30 p.m. – ‘Til the Ice Cream is Gone Description:  The convention will have an old-fashioned ice cream social on Thursday evening, November 6, at 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., to honor the Nominees as well as Les Edwards (who loves ice cream) and our other Guests of Honor.  In addition to eating ice cream, we’ll present our Award Nominees with World Fantasy Nominee pins, fete the Guests of Honor, and recognize the Life Achievement Honorees.  With toppings!Friday, November 7:    Reading:  Robin Riopelle Time: 11 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., Friday, Fairfax World War I Alternate Histories Time:  4 p.m. – 5 p.m., Friday, Regency E Panelists: Michael J. Martinez (M), Charles E. Gannon, Kay Kenyon, Devin Poore Description: As a turning point in history, World War I offers many interesting possibilities for alternate histories.  Some, such as in Scott Westerfeld’s Leviathan and Kim Newman’s The Bloody Red Baron, have also added fantastic elements.  The panel will explore the idea of not only different outcomes to the battle or the war, but those that go down some very unusual paths. Historical Influences in Fantasy Time:  3 p.m. – 4 p.m., Friday, Regency F Panelists:Stina Leicht (M), Dana Cameron, Nicola Griffith, Ellen Klages, Veronica Schanoes   Description: There is more to historical fantasy than the trope of European-style medieval secondary worlds.  Today fantasies are set in specific real-world historical times and places, as in Lian Hearn’s Tales of the Otori, C.C. Finlay’s Traitor to the Crown, and Gene Wolfe’s Soldier in the Mist.  What accounts for this shift?  What is gained by using these settings?  What, if anything, is lost when we move away from secondary worlds? “Everybody Was There.” Diversity in Fantasy Time:  11 a.m. – 12 p.m., Friday, Regency E Panelists:  Sarah Pinsker (M), Mary Anne Mohanraj, Kit Reed, S. M. Stirling, K. Ceres Wright Description: Fantasy has had characters of many races, some human and others beyond.  Whether it’s the young soldier woman in Deeds of Paksenarrion being asked whether she minds sharing a dining hall with “elder races” (elves and dwarves), or the alternate orientations of characters in Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Darkover series or Mercedes Lackey’s Valdemar series, or the beauty of a foreign culture, such as that depicted in Bridge of Birds, fantasy authors have bravely gone where others feared to tread.  How has diversity of race, ability, gender, sexual orientation, or belief system in fantastic literature changed over time? Discussion between Gary K. Wolfe and Ellen Datlow, Life Achievement Winner Time:  4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m., Friday, Conference Theater Reading:  Bradley Beaulieu Time:  4:30 p.m. – 5 p.m., Friday, Fairfax     Saturday, November 8, 2014:   Where Have All the Editors Gone? Time:  12 p.m. – 1 p.m., Saturday, Washington Panelists: Betsy Dornbusch (M), Liz Gorinsky, Stephen Jones, Betsy Mitchell, Richard Shealy Description:  Writers complain their books are no longer edited.  Is this myth or fact?  Does it bear out in the finished products?  The panel will explore the changing roles of editors, and if they are becoming a vanishing breed. Historical People in Fantasy Time:  1 p.m. – 2 p.m., Saturday, Tidewater 2 Panelists:  Eileen Gunn (M), David B. Coe, Jack Dann, Jean Marie Ward, Rick Wilber Description:  When using Samuel Adams, Joseph Warren, or perhaps one of the most used names, Nikola Tesla and other real people as characters in fiction, what liberties can authors take and what holes do they have to fill?  How close to the real Jack Kerouac does Nick Mamatas get in Move Under Ground?  What do creators owe to history, especially if the players are in a new world as in Philip Jose Farmer’s Riverworld series.  The panel will discuss where historical truth meets literary license. Kaffeeklatsch:  Ellen Datlow Time: 2 p.m. – 3 p.m., Saturday, Boardroom – Limit to 15 people:     Best of the Year 2014 Time:  4 p.m. – 5 p.m., Saturday, Tidewater 2 Panelists:  Liza Trombi (M), Ellen Datlow, Paula Guran, Lee Harris Description: Every year a rich variety of fantasy, dark fantasy, and horror is published inside and outside of genre borders.  On this panel, the publisher of Locus Magazine, the editor of a new line of novellas, and two editors of best-of-the-year anthologies discuss what they think are the best novels, stories, anthologies, and single-author collections that have been published so far during 2014.       Sunday, November 9, 2014:   Reading:  Courtney Schafer Time: 10 a.m. – 10:30 a.m., Sunday, Fairfax GREG EGAN and NEAL ASHER, BACK IN THE USA For many years, Night Shade Books has been bringing out original novels by Greg Egan and Neal Asher. Though each is incredibly different from the other, both write science fiction that is unique and instantly identifiable as their work. They also happen to be a couple of Night Shade’s favorite science fiction authors.   For a long time, many of their books were only in print in the UK. I saywere, because Night Shade has been quietly addressing this oversight. We are currently in the middle of a reprint program that will now bring the majority of Greg Egan and Neal Asher’s work into print in the United States.   For those of you who are new to one or both of these authors, stay tuned for a brief overview. For those who already know, feel free to skip ahead and check out our web site listings for Egan and Asher’s current and forthcoming books from Night Shade. All of these books are available now, or available as a pre-order from your favorite book retailer.     Greg Egan Greg Egan has been redefining what “hard” science fiction can aspire to be since the early nineties, and he’s been exploring issues of post humanism and theories of consciousness before it was “cool.” His works are often impregnated with detailed mathematical concepts and explorations of quantum mechanics. But what balances out his hard edge, and makes him one of the most important voices in the “Hard SF” subgenre are his incredibly detailed and emotionally nuanced characters. Be sure to investigate the detailed bibliography at the authors own web page, which not only covers his novel length work, but includes a fascinating publication history of his short fiction, which often served as a test bed for ideas that would eventually be transformed into full novels. Greg Egan novels that were first published in the US by Night Shade Books include: Incandescence Zendegi The Clockwork Rocket The Eternal Flame The Arrows of Time Night Shade is reprinting Egan’s back list as follows: Permutation City was already published in September of 2014 Axiomatic and Quarantine are publishing this month Diaspora and Distress are publishing in January of 2015 Schild’s Ladder and Teranesiaare publishing in February of 2015 Neal Asher Neal Asher’s action-filled visions of an AI-ruled, post-scarcity future have been thrilling science fiction readers for years. His groundbreaking series of books set in the “Polity” universe helped kick off early 21st century science fiction publishing, and were an integral part of the British-led “New Space Opera” movement, alongside newer authors like Alastair Reynolds and Peter F. Hamilton and established veterans like Iain M. Banks and M. John Harrison. Neal’s work often features incredible pyrotechnics and breakneck pacing that belie his thoughtful and detailed world building. The Polity Universe is so big, in fact, that Asher has three different series and four stand-alone novels set there. The Agent Cormac series follows the exploits of its eponymous character… one of the Polity Government’s most effective agents The Splatterjay books are set on the planet of the same name… a planet that features a unique and dangerous ecology His forthcoming Transformation series follows the exploits of Thorvald Spear and his quest for vengeance against the rouge AI Penny Royal Previously, Night Shade Books published The Owner Trilogy, which are set outside the Asher’s “Polity” universe: The Departure Zero Point Jupiter War Night Shade also was the original US publisher for the following stand-alone Polity novels: Prador Moon Shadow of the Scorpion We’re now very pleased to bring the previously unavailable Neal Asher books to the US: The Line of Polity (Agent Cormac) is available now. Polity Agent (Agent Cormac) is available now. The Voyage of the Sable Keech(Splatterjay) is available now. Hilldiggers (standalone) is available now. Line War (Agent Cormac) will be available November 2014 Orbus (Spatterjay)  will be available November 2014 The Technician (standalone) will be available January 2015 The Gabble (short stories / Polity and non-Polity) will be available February 2015 Additionally, Night Shade is very proud to announce that it will be the US publisher for Asher’s brand-new Transformation trilogy. Releasing simultaneously with the UK edition in February 2015 is the first book in the series, Dark Intelligence. We’ll be doing a cover reveal for that VERY soon.

Calling All Cars

Volume 8

Crime does not pay…but, during the Great Depression, some might have argued that it DID pay – and pay very well, too. After the 1929 stock market crash, bank failures, Midwestern crop disasters, and mass unemployment became a daunting part of everyday life, resulting in the rise of the bank robber and gangster as folk hero rather than criminal threat. It would take the election of Franklin Roosevelt and the appointment of such charismatic crime fighters as Melvin Purvis, J. Edgar Hoover, and Elliott Ness to finally turn the tide against the criminal element, turning lawmen into heroes and, eventually, the common man against the criminal element.In the 1930s, radio played a part in stemming the tide against crime – and never more so than in Calling All Cars, one of the earliest and most influential police procedural shows. Dramatizing true crime exploits and introduced by real-life law enforcement officials, Calling All Cars offered the gritty details of criminal activity in true “ripped from the headlines” style. Led by writer/director William N. Robson, the weekly series gave listeners the audio equivalent of a tough, down in the streets Warner Brothers crime drama, complete with car chases, low-life gunmen, high-crime bosses, frightened victims, and criminal cases that often hit very close to home. Kidnappings, petty thefts, murders, prison breaks, bunco schemes…all were raw materials for the creators of each show and details of all these crimes and more were used as the basis for the realistic dramas presented.The influence of Calling All Cars extended far beyond its six-year run, acting as a blueprint for such later-day radio series as Dragnet and This is Your FBI. And, although this seventy-year-old series may seem a bit primitive to modern-day audiences, listening to the programs today instantly brings to mind such timeless movie classics as The Public Enemy, Little Caesar, and Scarface.

For its entire run, Calling All Cars was sponsored by the Rio Grande Oil Company and their patented brand of “cracked” gasoline. Luckily, thanks to the limited and expensive network lines of the 1930s, recordings of all of the programs were made for redistribution to the Southwestern states. This is marvelous news for radio buffs, since it means that most of the entire run of Calling All Cars still exists for us to enjoy today. Earlier, Radio Archives issued seven volumes of the series, with all of the programs transferred directly from the original transcription recordings. Now, we’re proud to offer Calling All Cars, Volume 8, a ten hour set which, like our other collections, has been professionally restored for impressive audio fidelity. These rare and exiting shows are sure to occupy a special place in your personal library.

Philo Vance

Volume 1

Aside from soap operas, kiddie shows, and dramatic anthology series, detective stories may well have been the most popular form of program during radio’s “Golden Age”. Beginning in the 1930 and ending only when network dramatic radio itself came to its conclusion in 1962, a wide range of detectives – everyone from Sherlock Holmes toSam Spade to Ellery Queen to Johnny Dollar – were presented, in one fashion or another, to the listening audience.

In 1946, the most enduring version of the character was heard for the first time. Played by radio’s jack of all trades, the inimitable Jackson Beck, the Frederick Ziv Company of Cincinnati, Ohio syndicated a series of 104 half-hour shows, also featuring Joan Alexander as Vance’s secretary, in a program that would be recorded and aired in first run through 1950 and that would continue to be aired on local stations throughout the decade.

Heard today, Philo Vance is still great fun to listen to. The mysteries are suitably baffling, the suspects suitably suspect, the clues abundant, and it’s hard to beat an old fashioned conclusion when all of the possible suspects are gathered into the same room, the alibis are unraveled, and the criminal is finally revealed to all. There’s nothing particularly deep here, of course – no social commentary or multi-layered plotlines to unravel – just a great sounding series of interesting cases to solve.

If you’re looking for truly enjoyable radio entertainment – and particularly if you love being an armchair detective yourself – you can’t go wrong with Philo Vance, particularly in these twenty newly-restored shows from Radio Archives.

Will Murray’s Pulp Classics #62

The Best of Argosy #5 Audiobook

Selected by Robert Weinberg

The Monster of the Lagoon

by George F. Worts

Read by Milton Bagby. Liner Notes by Robert Weinberg

“Meet ‘Singapore’ Sammy Shay! He’s the roughest, toughest sailor to sail the Seven Seas!”

Introducing one of the most popular and hard-boiled characters ever to roam the fabled pages of Argosy magazine. Singapore Sammy Shay is the toughest sailor in the South Pacific, scouring the coasts of Malaysia and the hundreds of islands in the vicinity, searching for his ne’er-do-well father who abandoned his family when Sammy was only two years old.

Written by George F. Worts, creator of the popular Peter the Brazen series under the pen-name Loring Brent, the Singapore Sammy adventures are among the few Argosy classics that can match the adventures of Brent’s “The Man of Bronze” in intensity and action!

His full name is Samuel Larkin Shay, but few people know or recognize him by that name. Born in Cairo, Illinois, he’s spent the last six years of his life roaming the South Seas in the schooner, Blue Goose, skippered by Captain Lucifer Jones. It’s there that he’s known as Singapore Sammy, a vagabond sailor who’s hunting a man, a worthless roustabout known as Bill Shay. Shay was Sammy’s father, and when he deserted his family, Bill Shay took with him the only copy of a will leaving Sammy a fortune. Without that document, Sammy can’t claim a penny. For the past half-dozen years, he’s hunted for his father, following a trail that leads to the farthest ends of the Earth. In The Monster of the Lagoon, Sammy encounters one of the greatest surprises in his search for his father—as he finds himself actually battling a monster in a lagoon!

George F. Worts was born in Toledo, Ohio on March 16, 1892. Growing up in a port city, he became interested in telegraphy. As a teenager, he worked as a radio man on the Great Lakes. Afterwards, he shipped out, again as a radio operator to South and Central America.

In 1915, Worts decided to become a writer. He attended Columbia University for a year, got married, and started work as a reporter. A few years later, he started writing fiction, selling primarily to Argosy. In the 1930s, that pulp was considered to be the leading publisher of high adventure stories in the world. Worts became known as one of the magazine’s top writers and he contributed 45 novelettes and serials in that ten year period. Read by Milton Bagby.

Will Murray’s Pulp Classics #63

The Secret 6 #3 Audiobook

The Monster Murders

by Robert J. Hogan

Read by Michael C. Gwynne. Liner Notes by Will Murray

The premise of The Secret 6 was deceptively simple, yet pure pulp. An enigmatic adventurer known only as King busts out of Death Row to form an anti-crime group called The Secret 6. The others include The Key, The Doctor, Shakespeare, The Bishop, and Luga, as well as numerous underworld stool pigeons and hangers-on. All are wanted. So they operate outside the law.

The work of the wildly imaginative Robert J. Hogan, who pitted his World War I flying ace, G-8, against zombies, Martians, defrosted Viking warriors, and other bizarre foes, The Secret 6 battled sinister supervillains, a Mayan Bat-Man, a giant golden alligator and other outrageous menaces. Few pulp series stretched reality as did this four-issue Popular Publications title from 1934-35. There were no limits. That’s what made it a terrific read.

If you wanted to, you could call The Secret 6 “Doc Savage lite”. The series followed a similar template––a group of adventurers pitting themselves against overwhelming threats. The big difference was that the leader, King, was no superman. Like Hogan’s G-8, he was a typical American he-man, not a fearless wonder-worker. King could feel fear, and make mistakes. He was not perfect, therefore the average reader could identify with him, and see himself in King’s shoes.

The third Secret 6 entry shows every indication of having been inspired by the famous Doc Savage novel, The Monsters. The premise is virtually identical––giant creatures are terrorizing the rural population. Authorities are helpless. Only the resourceful Secret 6 team is up to the challenge.

No doubt the inspiration for both of these pulp classics goes back to the 1933 film, King Kong. In The Monster Murders, we encounter ferocious packs of gigantic dogs, thirty-foot giants, and other towering nightmare threats to life and liberty.

The Murder Monsters is read by Michael C. Gwynne. This exciting audiobook also includes the true stories, Allan Barnes’ “Stand and Deliver!” and “The Jungle,” by Winthie Leach.

The Spider #6 April 1934 Pulp Replica Book

This is an authentic replica of an original pulp magazine, just as it appeared on the newsstands of America during what is now considered the Golden Age of Pulp Fiction – roughly 1900 through 1950. Unlike our other line of pulp reprints, which offer original covers and illustrations but with reformatted text, this edition – one of an ongoing series – is designed to give the reader an authentic taste of what a typical pulp magazine was like when it was first issued – but without the frailty or expense of trying to find a decades-old collectable to enjoy. The outer covers, the interior pages, and the advertisements are reprinted just as they appeared in the original magazine, left intact to give the reader the true feel of the original as well as an appreciation for the way in which these publications were first offered to their avid readers.Pulp fiction magazines got their nickname because they were printed on cheap pulpwood paper that was high in acid content. Pulps were, in fact, assumed to be disposable – bought for a dime or a quarter, read, enjoyed, and then thrown away in time for the next issue to be released. The paper, like the pulps themselves, was never meant to be durable or last for very long, which is part of the reason why the originals are so hard to find today.

While most pre-1940 pulp covers hung over the interior pages and were left untrimmed, this replica has been trimmed for easier storage and handling. To further enhance the “pulp experience”, this edition is printed on off-white bond paper intended to simulate the original look while, at the same time, assuring that this edition will last far longer than the original upon which it is based. The overall construction and appearance of this reprint is designed to be as faithful to the original magazine as is reasonably possible, given the unavoidable changes in production methods and materials. Pulp Replica Book $35.00
