The Gernsback Days
"In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in Hugo Gernsback, and the start of a serious study of the contribution he made to the development of science fiction. . . . It seemed to me that the time was due to reinvestigate the Gernsback era and dig into the facts surrounding the origins of Amazing Stories. I wanted to find out exactly why Hugo Gernsback had launched the magazine, what he was trying to achieve, and to consider what effects he had-good and bad. . . . Too many writers and editors from the Gernsback days have been unjustly neglected, or unfairly criticized. Now, I hope, Robert A. W. Lowndes and I have provided the grounds for a fair consideration of their efforts, and a true reconstruction of the development of science fiction. It's the closest to time travel you'll ever get. I hope you enjoy the trip."-Mike Ashley, Preface

Panorama de la littérature fantastique américaine: Des origines aux "pulps"
Connaissez-vous Allison V. Harding ? Et Edgar Hoffmann Price ? Et Fred Chappel ? Non ? Quel dommage ! Il est vrai que, si l'on évoque le surnaturel dans la littérature américaine, la plupart des amateurs pensent d'emblée Hawthorne, Poe, Bierce et Lovecraft. Après, ils cherchent. C'est ignorer que l'Amérique constitue le réservoir fantastique le plus riche du monde, malgré sa relative jeunesse. C'est regarder seulement la surface visible d'un gigantesque iceberg. Ce livre veut montrer la partie cachée de celui-ci. Unique en langue française, il servira d'instrument de référence au curieux, voire au spécialiste.
A MOUNTAIN WALKED – Ganz unten und ganz oben, Band 2
H. P. Lovecraft schrieb 1926 »Der Ruf des Cthulhu« und begründete damit den Cthulhu-Mythos, eines der am häufigsten nachgeahmten Weltenuniversen in der Weird Fiction. Schon zu seinen Lebzeiten haben viele andere Autoren den Mythos erweitert, und nach seinem Tod haben Hunderte von Autoren die grundlegenden Themen und Ideen Lovecrafts auf ihre ganz eigene Weise weiterentwickelt. Dieser Band enthält einige der besten Cthulhu-Mythos-Erzählungen von Autoren wie Donald Tyson, Jonathan Thomas und Lois H. Gresh aber auch Raritäten wie die Story von Mearle Prout aus dem klassischen Weird Tales Magazin. Dies ist der zweite von sechs Bänden, herausgegeben von S. T. Joshi, die führende Autorität in Sachen H. P. Lovecraft. Er ist der Autor der Biographie I AM PROVIDENCE: The Life and Times of H. P. Lovecraft.
