October 9, 2016 Appendix N, Past Mid-Way I’m about two-thirds of the way through my haphazardly completed reviews of Appendix N authors. Andre Norton is in the batter’s box. I’ve not read much of her output, so I’m taking in a few of her Witch World novels before writing up my assessment. But this seems… Continue reading Appendix N Past Mid-Way. Resurrected Post.

Michael Moorcock, Appendix N’s Prince of Angst. Resurrected Post.
May 22, 2016 Michael Moorcock, Appendix N’s Prince of Angst It is only fair that I begin my web log post on Michael Moorcock with the positives of my assessment. He deserves recognition for is contribution to the field and I’m the last man to withhold his just due. Moorcock’s Law/Chaos dichotomy, along with Poul… Continue reading Michael Moorcock, Appendix N’s Prince of Angst. Resurrected Post.
A. Merritt’s Meritorious Service to Appendix N. Resurrected Post.
March 20, 2016 A. Merritt’s Meritorious Service to Appendix N Abraham Merritt is one the lesser known writers of Appendix N. An example of the fickle hand of fortune, I suppose, since during his life A. Merritt (as his work was credited) was rather famous, at least so far as journalists can be famous. Big… Continue reading A. Merritt’s Meritorious Service to Appendix N. Resurrected Post.
Appendix N is Cosmically Indifferent to Your Opinion: HP Lovecraft. Resurrected Post.
January 10, 2016 Appendix N is Cosmically Indifferent to Your Opinion: HP Lovecraft So we come to HPL himself, Howard Phillips Lovecraft. Much anguished ink has been spilled over HPL in recent years. You want to delve into that, you’re on your own. I’m just writing about stories here. HPL is best known for his… Continue reading Appendix N is Cosmically Indifferent to Your Opinion: HP Lovecraft.

Fritz Leiber, The Touchstone of Appendix N. Resurrected Post.
December 6, 2015 Fritz Leiber, The Touchstone of Appendix N I intend to write today about Fritz Leiber. But first, I want to acknowledge Jan’s Paperbacks for once again arranging a book signing for me. My hat is off to you ladies. What more can be written about Fritz Leiber? He was one of the… Continue reading Fritz Leiber, The Touchstone of Appendix N. Resurrected Post.
Sterling Lanier: Appendix N Meets the Apocalypse. Resurrected Post.
October 11, 2015 Sterling Lanier: Appendix N Meets the Apocalypse For many, the 1980’s were years shadowed by the specter of nuclear war. I never worried about it. But nuclear war — the chances, the scenarios, the aftermath — fueled the creations of filmmakers, writers, musicians, etc. It was the decade that brought Kris Kristofferson’s… Continue reading Sterling Lanier: Appendix N Meets the Apocalypse.

Robert E. Howard, Appendix N’s Top Dog Contender. Resurrected Post.
September 13, 2015 Robert E. Howard, Appendix N’s Top Dog Contender I approach this entry with some trepidation. I knew I’d need to write about Robert Ervin Howard at some point. But I’ve been reluctant to do so because, really, what more is there to say about the man? More ink has been spilled critiquing… Continue reading Robert E. Howard, Appendix N’s Top Dog Contender.

August Derleth, Cthulhu Wrangler. Resurrected Post.
August 2, 2015 August Derleth, Cthulu Wrangler Today I continue considering the authors of Appendix N. August Derleth managed to escape my voracious reading attention for a very long time. That is surprising, considering the volume of material he produced. Derleth wasn’t an Asimov-class churner of words, but with over 100 published books to his… Continue reading August Derleth, Cthulhu Wrangler. Resurrected Post.
Philip Jose Farmer, Appendix N. Resurrected Post.
June 28, 2015 Philip Jose Farmer, Appendix N Philip Jose Farmer (or P.J., as Appendix N has him) was a prolific author of pulp adventure. (By the way, I don’t need to keep spelling out what Appendix N is, do I? If you’re reading this web log you’re probably hip to the reference.) I’d call… Continue reading Philip Jose Farmer, Appendix N. Resurrected Post.
