Sticks Karl Edward Wagner Pdf

In his most recent newsletter, Brian Keene offered up a list of his 20 favorite authors. That’s a challenge I just could not pass up. So here are my favorites, the caveat being that this is a list of writers of fiction and as close to their proper order as I can muster. Also, because of the third author on my list, I have decided there should be 23 names instead of 20.

Robert Anton Wilson 4. Neil Gaiman 5. Katherine Kurtz 6. Alan Moore 7. Umberto Eco 8.

Fritz Leiber 9. Mary Stewart 10. Roy Thomas 11.

Manly Wade Wellman 12. Stephen King 13. Edgar Rice Burroughs 15. Algernon Blackwood 16. Lovecraft 17. Raymond Chandler 18. Anne Rice 19.

Rex Stout 20. Shirley Jackson 21. Arthur Machen 22.

Aleister Crowley 23. Margaret Weis. I read a mere 56 books in 2017, surpassing my goal of 52 books a year, but I was certainly off kilter.

I have shifted to reading predominately on a first generation kindle, for one thing. Hardcovers are too expensive (though I do prowl them second-hand) and I find mass market paperbacks tiresome, the print too small and light for my aging eyes.

Despite their impermanence, I miss paperbacks, to be honest. I loved everything about mass markets as a kid, especially Howard’s Conan, Leiber’s Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, Burrough’s John Carter and Tarzan, Norman’s Gor, Lovecraft’s Mythos tales, Adams’ Horseclans, and Tolkien’s Fellowship of the Ring (the only one I owned at the time). I loved the covers and the passport to unimaginable worlds of adventure inside them. As a 12 year old boy, I would shove one of those books in my back pocket and hike along Turkey Creek with my BB Gun and hunting knife in tow. I typically read in one of four places — under the Turkey Creek bridge, in the old Little Pipe Creek Cemetery, in our creek-side ‘pirate fort’ in the horse pasture, or deep in the haunted woods sitting cross legged atop Treebeard’s Stump. That was when reading mattered to me in a way that is almost undefinable.

Books were everything to me then and while I cherish them and covet them still almost 40 years later, to twelve year old Bobby, with his Daisy rifle, Buck knife, and dog-eared paperbacks, books were portable magic.

The Outsider by Stephen King. Welcome back to The Library, where I catalogue the books I read over the course of the year. This is Year Eight of this online journal. Welcome once more to The Library, where I maintain a list of all the books I read in a given year. This will be my sixth year of cataloging and in that time I’ve read just shy of 400 books, with my best year being 2011 when I read 95. My goal is simple — to average at least a book a week over the course of a year.

Sounds easy enough. In 2010, the first year I began this project, I read 59. The style has changed nearly every year, and I suppose it will again, at least until I come up with one that strikes my fancy. It’s the books read that matter, but not in their number, but in their content. I believe you can tell a lot about a person based on what they read. Well, that’s certainly true for me.

This year, we’ll keep the style simple and to the point: title by author/format/year of publication So, what book gets the distinction of being the first read in 2015?

Listing ones favorite books is an arduous task akin to murdering your own children, if you had a score or more of them. Depending on mood or season or time of day, the list can ebb and flow with a fey-like whimsey. There is, as I’m sure you’re more than aware, a meme circulating that seeks to circumnavigate this horror. Rather than commit to a list of favorites, it asks for the chronicler to draft an inventory of those books that “stayed with you”. Rather than simply dash this off, it occurred to me that this could be rather telling. Peeling back the years, what books had the most impact? Which of the multipudes of stories shaped the mind that rattles about in the Sanctum Cranium Calvariam Sanctorum?

“ Would you like to play?”, the meme asks. Why, yes Yes, I would. In the order, I think, of which I read them: The Secret Hide-Out by John Peterson The House on the Cliff by Franklin W. Dixon (Leslie McFarlane) The Children of Odin by Padraic Colum The Devil Rides Out by Dennis Wheatley Unseen Forces by Manly Palmer Hall The Hobbit / Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien “A Witch Shall Be Born” by Robert E.

Howard “The Dunwich Horror” by H.P. Lovecraft The Stand by Stephen King Lord of the Flies by William Golding The Outsiders by S.E.

Hinton Necronomicon by Simon The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson & Robert Shea Magick in Theory and Practice by Aleister Crowley Psychic Self-Defence by Dion Fortune Lammas Night by Katherine Kurtz “Sticks” by Karl Edward Wagner The Witching Hour by Anne Rice Foucault’s Pendulum by Umberto Eco Finnegan’s Wake by James Joyce American Gods by Neil Gaiman A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin Love is the Law by Nick Mamatas I will readily admit that this is an imperfect list.

For one thing, it is constructed from memory and that can be a right nasty business. There are things, perhaps forgotten, which still could have left an indelible imprint on my psyche, and others that may have just slipped my mind only to come crashing back later, instigating a bout of self-loathing, hair-pulling (doubtful, as I have little), and the rending of clothing.

Already, before I’ve even dared hit the publish button, things like Rowling’s Harry Potter and Hammett’s Maltese Falcon spring to mind. Surely they belong on the list? As do so many others. In fact, I’m now questioning this whole meme. Why, I didn’t even mention my first reading of Manly Wade Wellman, for pity’s sake and there is ne’er a comic mentioned. Bloody hell, I’ve buggered the whole wretched listy.

Is it not more honest to admit that nearly each and every book, for good or bad, has shaped us in some way? We read, therefore we is. There is the truth of it, methinks, and therein lies the rub.

It’s what’s for dinner. Feed your head.

US Nationality American Spouse(s) Barbara Ruth Mott 1974-1986 Karl Edward Wagner (12 December 1945 – 14 October 1994) was an American writer, poet, editor and publisher of, and, who was born in and originally trained as a. He wrote numerous dark fantasy and horror stories. As an editor, he created a three-volume set of Robert E. Howard's fiction restored to its original form as written, and edited the long-running and genre-defining series for. His publishing company issued four volumes of the best stories by some of the major authors of the so-called Golden Age. He is possibly best known for his creation of a series of stories featuring the character, the Mystic Swordsman.

His disillusionment with the medical profession can be detected in the stories 'The Fourth Seal' and 'Into Whose Hands'. He described his personal philosophy as, and, and claimed, not entirely seriously, to be related to 'an opera composer named '. Wagner also admired the cinema of, stating 'I worship the film '. Contents. Biography Wagner was the fourth and youngest child of Aubrey J.

Wagner and Dorothea Huber. His father was an official of the.

Wagner earned a history degree from Kenyon College during 1967, and a psychiatry degree from. As noted above, he disliked the medical profession, which he abandoned upon establishing himself as a writer. Wagner was productive as both a writer and editor/anthologist; see below. His friends included the writer, two of whose collections he published with the publishing imprint. Wagner died in his home in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on October 14, 1994, essentially of the consequences of longterm. It was reported in a late 1994 issue of the Newsletter of the that Wagner's causes of death were.

Exorcisms and Ecstasies, a posthumous volume of uncollected stories, miscellany and tributes was published by small press publisher during 1997. Night Shade Books has published the complete Kane stories (novels and shorts) in two hardcover volumes. Published works Some of Wagner's work is set in 's universe (featuring and ); he also edited three volumes of Howard's original Conan tales, important to purists for being the first to restore the texts to their originally published form.

His three volumes of also featured restored versions of pulp-era fantasy stories by authors such as,. Wagner wrote an unpublished Bran Mak Morn novel, Queen of the Night, which was originally scheduled to be published by Zebra books during 1978 and Ace Books during 1980.

Kane, the Mystic Swordsman Wagner created his own mystical and immortal pre-historical anti-hero, whose name and background are based on traditional conceptions of the biblical. A powerful, left-handed warrior-sorcerer with red hair and blue eyes, the character was described by Wagner as one 'who could master any situation intellectually, or rip heads off if push came to shove'. Kane is an immortal somewhat like the (or more specifically, 's, a novel which Wagner cites as a major influence in his essay 'The Once and Future Kane') Kane's character also includes elements of Robert E. He is an immortal, cursed to wander the earth until he is destroyed by the violence that he himself has created. He sells his loyalty as a fighter to the highest bidder. He is a well-read and intelligent man who has traveled his world for centuries and is able to discuss music, poetry, politics, and many other subjects.

He is also amoral and a born killer. The Kane stories are often classified as tales of (although Wagner disliked the term), which some critics have compared favourably to those of Howard. The character Kane is considered one of the most memorable and original of Inspired by the sword and sorcery adventures of 's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, and Robert E. Howard's mighty-thewed barbarian Conan the Cimmerian, Wagner set about creating his own fantasy character while still attending medical school. The result was initially published as a paperback original during 1970 by West Coast pornography publisher Powell Publications, with a lurid cover.

The text of the novel was altered by an unknown copyeditor to conform with the cover art. After publishing a pseudonymous pornographic novel with a small New York company, Wagner relinquished his chance to become a doctor and instead decided to write full-time. During 1973, Warner Paperback library published Death Angel's Shadow, which collected the three original Kane novellas. He also began selling his stories and poems regularly to the growing small press magazine market. Several of his tales were published in Gary Hoppenstand's Midnight Sunn, a magazine initially devoted to Kane and the new school of epic fantasy writers. This was followed by publication of the first Kane novel, Bloodstone, during 1975. Warner Books commissioned a cover painting by (who had helped revive the Conan franchise, and who would paint a number of future covers for the series) and Wagner's writing career improved.

After a novel featuring Howard's Pictish hero, Wagner's next Kane book was Dark Crusade (1976). A Kane story published elsewhere, 'Two Suns Setting', won the 1977 and was also a nominee. Wagner published other Kane stories in magazines such as Chacal, Whispers and Escape! Page, then editor of DAW Books Year's Best Fantasy and Horror Stories began to reprint Kane tales in the anthology series. Night Winds, a collection of six previously published Kane tales followed (Warner Books, 1978).

The publisher also reissued all previous Kane books including a new edition of Darkness Weaves which reinstated the author's preferred text. The Book of Kane was the last published volume of Kane material (1985) until Night Shade Books' omnibus editions of novels and tales. A proposed fourth Kane novel, In the Wake of the Night, was never completed, although an excerpt was published as part of a souvenir book of 1981; this also appears in the collection Midnight Sun (2003). In 2004, it was reported that movie producer Lauren Moews had 'acquired Death Angel's Shadow, and will produce a film based upon 'Reflections for the Winter of My Soul,' which is the first of three short stories comprising Death Angel's Shadow. The other two short stories, 'Cold Light' and 'Mirage,' are waiting in the wings to be developed into a possible KANE franchise for Tonic Films'. As of 2017 the movie has not entered production.

Other writings Besides the Kane books, Wagner wrote contemporary horror stories (some of which, like 'At First Just Ghostly', also feature Kane). These were collected in the books In a Lonely Place (1983), Why Not You and I?

(1987) and the posthumous Exorcisms and Ecstasies (1997). They range from the very literate and allusive (such as 'The River of Night's Dreaming', which refers to 's and the myth of used in the work of and ), to the pulpy and parodic (such as 'Plan Ten from Inner Space', a crazed homage to 's magnum opus ). His later stories, such as 'But You'll Never Follow Me' and 'Silted In', were described by as tormented and deeply personal; some deal explicitly with (e.g. 'More Sinned Against') and sexual subjects, including (e.g. 'Brushed Away') and (e.g. During 1983 Wagner won the for his horror novella 'Beyond Any Measure' and the during 1984 for 'Neither Brute Nor Human'. With his friends Jim Groce and, who were concerned that Arkham House would cease publication after the death of its founder, Wagner formed the publishing house in North Carolina during 1973 to preserve the work of their favorite horror writers in hard covers.

Carcosa Press published four substantial volumes of horror tales: by, by, and, both. All books were edited by Wagner and illustrated profusely. A fifth collection was planned, Death Stalks the Night, by; was working on illustrating it when he died, causing Carcosa to abandon the project. The book was eventually published.

Wagner later acted as the literary agent for Manly Wade Wellman's estate. Wagner collaborated with Drake on Killer, a horror novel set during the reign of the emperor. The illustrator of Murgunstrumm and Worse Things Waiting was the noted artist. Coye's macabre designs, incorporating mysterious lattices of twigs, were the inspiration for Wagner's -winning story '. A connoisseur of rare horror stories, Wagner perspicaciously edited many horror and fantasy; perhaps his greatest achievement of this topic was the annual anthology series , which he edited for fourteen years from volume VIII (1980) until volume XXII (1994). The series was canceled after Wagner's death. However, while the original editions were paperback originals, Underwood-Miller preserved the series in a set of three limited edition hardcovers.

Wagner was a frequent visitor to London to attend fantasy and horror conventions. Though he continued to edit, producing three volumes of the heroic fantasy anthology Echoes of Valor for Tor Books during the late 1980s and early 1990s, and published a steady sequence of short stories (most of which were apparently written some years earlier), his most productive time was finished. In the story 'The Gothic Touch', Kane teams up with the albino warrior-sorcerer in a tribute anthology honouring the fiction of ( Tales of the White Wolf). Wagner wrote several unproduced screenplays and treatments including a movie script for Conan III for movie producer and a TV script based on Robert E. Howards 'The Horror on the Mound' (for Tales from the Darkside). Wagner provided the Foreword to 'Fat Face', a tale by published as a standalone book by Axolotl Press, 1987.
