[quasi-normalcy]

A while ago while I was in tumblr jail, you posted that you had a masters in science fiction literature (unless you didn't, I have been known to be mistaken), and I am wondering, what do you consider 'important' works of science fiction? Like the science fiction literary canon? I am so curious. Feel free to ignore, I will not harass you.

Yes! I do. I can tell you the ones that I was assigned (I'm afraid that the list skews extremely male and (especially) white).

Mary Shelley, Frankenstein (1818)

Olaf Stapledon, Last and First Men (1930) and Star Maker (1937) [You can probably add Odd John (1935) to this list]

Jules Verne, Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1864) and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1870) [You can probably add From the Earth to the Moon (1865)]

H.G. Wells, The Time Machine (1895) and War of the Worlds (1897) [Though you can probably go ahead and add The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897) and The First Men in the Moon (1901)]

Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Herland (1915)

Catherine Burdekin (writing as Murray Constantine), Swastika Night (1937)

Richard Matheson, I Am Legend (1954)

Alfred Bester, The Stars My Destination (1956)

Robert Heinlein, Starship Troopers (1959) [Probably Stranger in a Strange Land (1961) and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (1966) too, depending on, you know, how much of Heinlein's bullshit you can take]

J.G. Ballard, The Drowned World (1962) [Also, The Burning World (1964) and The Crystal World (1966)]

Phillip K. Dick, The Man in the High Castle (1962) [Also Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) and several of his short stories]

They also included Iain M. Banks's The Algebraist (2004), but I personally think you'd be better off reading some of his Culture novels

Traveler from a Distant World

Wilbur went to Utah, back where he came from. How did he leave in the first place?

Wilbur Soot was always Isekai’d.

                                                                                                                                Wilbur Soot was born in Utah in 1978.

Jimmy Carter was president. Scott M Matheson was governor. And nothing of note was happening.

It was a hot year. But it always was. Utah was in the middle of the desert after all.

He grew up in that desert. Nothing remarkable about it.

The most remarkable thing about it was that he was the only non-Mormon in the area. All the other kids hung out at chapel and he didn’t. He was always missing something that happened every weekend. Trying to catch up just got exhausting. So he didn’t have a lot of friends.

He stopped trying to have friends after a while.

He wasn’t good in school. He wasn’t terrible, he just had all the wrong skills.

He wanted to do music, to sing his heart out to the world and find fame and fortune. But you don’t do music for a career in small towns in Utah. Who are you going to sing to?

He wanted to be a sailor, sail off to distant lands and have adventures. But you don’t become a sailor in a small town in Utah. Where were you going to sail?

He wanted to be a politician and change the world. But you don’t vote for the one weird kid with no friends, so what chance did he have?

He considered being a solider, running off to join the marines. But he never could get over the fear of dying.

And then he graduated.

Every boy his age left. All getting missionary assignments and heading out into the world.

But Wilbur wasn’t Mormon.

So when the closet thing he had to a friend got assigned to Uganda and wrote home about how amazing the music was. When the boy who sat next to him geography got sent out to England and learned to love the sea and the rain. When the boy who sat behind him in history when to a remote got sent to Taiwan and got to be there for the first election…

Wilbur was back home. In his small town. Working in a gas station.

He had hoped dimly, that he might have a chance with some of the girls. All the other boys were away after all. It was just Wilbur Soot.

He would like to have a family. His own was gone now.

But none of the girls were interested in dating the one weird kid from high school who wasn’t Mormon, especially with all the boys two years their seniors just getting back from far off places with hundreds of stories to tell.

So it was just Wilbur. In his gas station. In the heat. Stuck. Unable to make anything of himself.

So when he was walking home, when he didn’t see that bus filled with screaming football fans turn the corner until it sent him flying…

…in that split second of weightlessness all he could think was:

“Is that all I was ever meant to be?”

                                                                                                                                 Wilbur Soot died in a tragic bus accident in 1996. It was blamed on the newfangled headphones being so loud. It was made a demonstration of why you should be mindful of traffic safety. And it was forgotten.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  There was nothing all around him. He could hear nothing, see nothing, feel nothing. And then a voice spoke. And he could hear it. Hear her.

“A singer and a sailor and a little politician! Oh and you want to be a fighter too! So much to live for, nothing left behind. Oh, you’re perfect.”

Wilbur had never been perfect before.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  “You’re perfect”

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Wilbur opened his eyes in a world of blocks.

A man with great blocky black wings stretched behind him was staring down at him, “Kristen, I thought…”

“That I couldn’t have children? Well I can’t. I made this one just for you from a lost soul. A baby. Our baby.”

“Our baby,” the man says. He has an awe in his eyes as he picks up Wilbur. “Our baby. Hello little guy.”

“His name is Wilbur Soot.”

“Wilbur, Wild Boar. Named after Technoblade. He’ll thrilled.”

Kristen just laughed softly but Wilbur couldn’t see her. All he could see was the great blocky face coming closer and close to him as he heard him whisper, “Hello Wilbur, you’re going to do great things one day.”

And Wilbur believed him.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 “You’re going to do great things one day.”

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Wilbur Soot Minecraft was born in a small town in a quite server in 1996.

The Antarctic Empire had fallen years before. Technoblade still dominated the charts at Hypixel. Nothing of note was happening.

It was a hot year. Unusually hot. But his father was confident it would cool off soon.

He grew up near a river. Surrounded by green hills and lush forest. Where monsters came out at night. Learning to sword fight as soon as he was able and mine as soon as he could walk.

This was not considered remarkable for this blocky world.

Wilbur was by all accounts an unremarkable child. He was dearly loved by his father, the Angel of death and his Mother the Goddess of death. His Uncle was a reigning champion. But he himself was given all the luxuries of normality. Time to learn music and sailing and speeches and fighting.

But Wilbur was not an ordinary child. He could remember a world without blocks, though it was distant.

But somethings never faded.

“You’re perfect”

“You’re going to do great things one day.”

Wilbur always knew he was destined for greatness. He always knew he had more to gain from his second chance. He knew he had to be someone this time.

To make up for who he’d been before.

Ordinary, unremarkable, alone.

So he set out to see the world:

He went to play his music and win over hearts. Singing his heart out to the world. Discovering all sorts of new sounds.

Then one day he found the coast, in a port filled with rain he met a shapeshifting pirate named Sally. She offered him a chance to see the whole sea. And well, he’d always wanted to be a sailor.

When homesickness started to overtake him, distant half faded fears of being alone again dredged up when Sally abandoned and their child, he sought out family. He had a family a wonderful family of a father, a mother, and an uncle/brother/twin. But it had not been enough so to that family he added every little brother he could find. One in a box, one in a garbage can.

And he was happy to take them around the world in a van. Seeking out adventure and greatness.

And when his drug van started to take off, a dream of independence starting to become a reality in the sparkle of his youngest brothers eyes, he sat down and decided, “I never did get to be a politician. Or a solider.”

Greatness was ahead of him.

He just knew it.

“Man Shoots Doctor Kills Self At Southampton,” Owen Sound Sun Times. June 16, 1930. Page 1 & 5. ---- HUTCHESON JACKSON KILLS HIMSELF AFTER SHOOTING DR PATRICK SCOTT HIS PHYSICIAN, THROUGH HEAD TWICE ----- Well Known Southampton Physician in Owen Sound Hospital in Very Precarious Condition at Present Time ---- WAS MAKING PROFESSIONAL CALL ---- Doctor Who Was in Attendance to Man Suffering From Nervous Trouble, is Shot Down While Making Call --- A report on the condition of Dr. Patrick J. Scott, of Southampton, who was shot by Hutcheson Jackson, on Sunday morning, is to the effect that at noon Monday he is making excellent progress at the Owen Sound General and Marine Hospital. His attending physician, Dr. T. M. Middlebro, stated that his temperature was normal, and he was in good spirits, although it is difficult fro him to take nourishment because of his sore throat and broken jaw, and he is unable to do much talking. Should there be no infection he will recover is due course, but will be confined to the hospital for some little time. ---- The town of Southampton which has been very much in the public eye of late, was aroused in its very depths on Sunday morning, when it became known that an attempted murder followed by suicide had taken place during the early hours of the day, in which of its prominent citizens were the victims. Dr. Patrick J. Scott well-known physician, is in the Owen Sound General and Marine jpspital with two bullet holes through his head and a very precarious condition, while Hutcheson Jackson, is neighbor, lies dead in Southampton, having taken his own life after he had attempted to take that of Dr. Scott.

The double tragedy has aroused the quiet lakeside town such as nothing else has for a long time, and it was the chief subject of comment among the residents all day Sunday, and much sincere sympathy is expressed for the friends and relatives of both men.

Jackson Insane There is no doubt that Jackson, who was a man 60 years of age, was out of his mind when he made his murderous attack on Dr. Scott, who was his attending physician. He suffered a nervous breakdown several weeks ago, but his condition was not considered such that it would be necessary to keep a close watch on him, as he gave no signs of violence at any time. On Saturday night, however, he was unusually nervous and he went for a motor ride with his friends and neighbor, Malcolm Matheson, who remained with him until 2 o'clock in the morning. Jaackson arose at his usual time on Sunday morning, had his breakfast, and went around the outside of the house. No person ever suspected that he even owned a revolver but when Dr. Scott, who had been treating him, put in his appearance around 9 o'clock, Jackson greeted him with the words "You’ll not put poison in my medicine" and whipping a Smith & Wesson .38 calibre revolver from his jacket when the doctor was quite close, he fired two shots, both of which took effect.

Course of Bullets One bullet entered the head about an inch in front of the right ear, smashed the jaw, passed through both tonsils, and came out in exactly the same spot on the opposite side of the head. The other bullet entered the thick part of the neck at the rear, passed through just a short distance above the spine and also came out exactly opposite to where it went in. Dr. Scott showed remarkable grit and stamina after he was shot, as after he turned and walked across a small field to his own home and sat down on the rear steps bleeding profusely. He was perfectly conscious, and asked that Dr. Laird he sent for and when the latter arrived he at once saw the seriousness of his condition and accompanied by Chief of Police Norman Murray, he was hurried to the Owen Sound General and Marine hospital where he  received further treatment from Dr. T. H. Middlebro, and other physicians in the city.

Fired Shot in Brain Soon after the shooting of Dr. Scott another shot was heard, and this time it was Jackson again, only he had turned the deadly weapon on himself. He placed the muzzle close into the corner of his right eye and pulled the trigger, the result being that his brains, were blown out and death was instantaneous. He was about six feat from his kitchen door at the rear of the house when he fired the fatal shot. The revolver was found close to his hand by Chief of Police Murray, who had heard the shot and was hurrying to tho scene when notified of the first shooting. The gun was covered with blood and the face of the dead man was badly scorched, so close did he put the gun to it. Dr. Laird, who was a coroner, after investigating the circumstances, decided that an inquest was unnecessary, it being quite apparent that Hackson had taken his own life.

The Longe Connection The shooting of Dr. Scott recalls the fact that he is one of the principal witnesses in connection with the Longe case, as he was the physician first on the ground after Earl Yoemans had been struck down in the lonely woods on Thursday, April 10. and for the murder of whom Harry Longe will be tried at the Fall assizes at Walkerton. In this connection it is alleged that the nervous breakdown of Jackson was due to some extent to his relations with the Longe family and that the house in which he resided had been purchased from Mrs. Edward Longe, mother of Harry Longe. There were many negotiations rewarding the sale of the property due to the fact that it was originally Crown lands and considerable difficulty was experienced in securing the deed. These things had preyed greatly on Jackson’s mind of late.

Well Known Residents Jackson was unmarried but made his home with his sister, Mrs. Donald Munn and they resided on Lansdowne Street . He is also survived by three half-brothers, who reside elsewhere in Ontario. Jackson was a fisherman and sometimes  worked on his own behalf while he sometimes worked for Malcolm Matheson, his next-door neighbor. He was industrious, and it is said that he was financially in excellent shape. He had lived in Southampton nearly all his days and was looked upon as a good citizen.

Dr. Scott, who is nearly 65 years of age, has been a practicing physician in Southampton for a great many years. He served with the Canadian troops during the Great War, and rendered excellent service as an army doctor. He is also quite prominent in Masonic circles in Southampton. His many friends will sincerely hope for his early and complete recovery. He has one son, a civil engineer, who resides in Quebec, and he has been sent for and is expected to arrive here on Monday night.

T ed Klein’s The 13 Most Terrifying Horror Stories

1. “Casting the Runes” by M. R. James

Despite their cozy fireside atmosphere, James’s tales of poor doomed antiquarians always raise a chill. This one made a dandy film, Curse of the Demon. Other James masterpieces: “Count Magnus,” “The Ash-Tree,” and “The Treasure of Abbot Thomas.”

2. “Novel of the Black Seal” by Arthur Machen

Machen’s lyrical, visionary fiction tends to provoke wonder rather than fright, but this tale, about a surviving race of “Little People” in backwoods Wales, has moments of real terror. Also noteworthy: “The White People” and Machen’s little-known “Out of the Picture.”

3. “The Willows” by Algernon Blackwood

Otherworldly encroachments on a desolate island in the Danube. Lovecraft regarded this as the greatest horror story ever written; certainly it’s the greatest horror story about camping out.

4. “The Dunwich Horror” by H. P. Lovecraft

Quintessential HPL, mixing cosmic horror and a brooding New England locale. Another classic: “The Call of Cthulhu,” a documentary-style tale that takes the whole world as its province.

5. “Bird of Prey” by John Collier

Collier is renowned for his sophisticated wit, but in this account of a malevolent thing that hatches from an enormous egg, he’s also bloodcurdling—with the real shocker unveiled in the final line.

6. “Who Goes There?” by “Don A. Stuart” (John W. Campbell)

Antarctic horror, the genesis of The Thing. You may wonder, after reading it, if your best friend is actually a tentacled alien bent on world domination.

7. “They Bite” by Anthony Boucher

Boucher invents a totally new—and terrifyingly convincing—breed of monster, the desert-dwelling Carkers.

8. “Stay Off the Moon!” by Raymond F. Jones

Published in the December ’62 Amazing (and now thankfully out of date), the story suggests that something rather nasty lurks beneath the lunar surface. If the Apollo astronauts had read this one, they might have stayed home.

9. “Ottmar Balleau X 2” by George Bamber

First published in Rogue and then in Judith Merril’s seventh annual Year’s Best S-F (1963), the tale introduces us to a letter-writing psychopath who seems to have taken his cue from L. P. Hartley’s “W. S.”

10. “First Anniversary” by Richard Matheson

Just the thing for anyone who’s ever suspected that his wife isn’t entirely human. Domestic paranoia in full flower. Another fine example: Matheson’s “Prey,” which became a film to avoid watching alone.

11. “The Autopsy” by Michael Shea

Published in the December ’80 F&SF, this tale of alien possession in an isolated West Virginia mining community features a monster even more demonic than The Thing.

12. “The Trick” by Ramsey Campbell

Hopeless, inescapable horror from a child’s point of view, by the genre’s grimmest practitioner. Appears in Karl Wagner’s Year’s Best Horror #10. Other Campbell contenders: “Cold Print,” “The Interloper,” and “The End of a Summer’s Day.”

13. “To Build a Fire” by Jack London

Natural rather than supernatural horror: the harrowing account of a walk in the woods that becomes a race with death. Reminiscent, in its growing sense of dread, of Captain Scott’s doomed journey from the Pole.

Honorable mention to two literally monstrous tales from Donald A. Wollheim’s 1955 anthology Terror in the Modern Vein: “Fritzchen” by Charles Beaumont and “Mimic” by Wollheim himself; to Fritz Leiber’s meditation on Evil, “A Bit of the Dark World,” written to match its wonderful cover illustration in the February ’62 Fantastic; and to two short horror novels that, where so many fail, manage to sustain a sense of the uncanny—Ringstones by “Sarban” (John W. Wall) and The House on the Borderland by William Hope Hodgson.

Elder Horror: Essays on Film’s Frightening Images of Aging, edited by Cynthia J. Miller and A. Bowdoin Van Riper, McFarland, 2019. Info: mcfarlandbooks.com.

As the baby boomers gray, cinematic depictions of aging and the aged are on the rise. In the horror genre, the elderly are often eccentric harbingers of doom—the crone who seeks to restore her vitality, the pensioners who bargain with the supernatural to cheat death, the ancient ancestors who haunt the living. This collection of new essays explores how various filmic portrayals of aging—as an inescapable horror destined to overtake us all, as a terrifying time of reckoning with the past, as a portal to unimaginable powers—reflect our complex attitudes towards the elderly.

What other fandoms are you familiar enough with to use as an AU prompt? Pokemon Trainer AU? Homestuck AU (they'd still probably die but at least there are lots of ways to come back to life)?

I’m not that familiar with Homestuck, definitely not enough to do an AU.  I read the novelizations of the Pokemon show as a kid but never saw the show or played any of the video games.  I did play the super-obscure Pokemon board game, but most of my trading cards were printed in Japanese (I had a strange childhood), so my experience there is, uh, probably not quite overlapping with everyone else’s.

Anyway, if you want list of all my fandoms… Boy howdy.  I don’t think I can come up with them all.  However, I can list everything that comes to mind between now and ~20 minutes from now when I have to end my procrastination break and go back to dissertating.  So here it is, below the cut:

Okay, there is no way in hell I’ll be able to make an exhaustive list.  But off the top of my head, the fandoms I’m most familiar/comfortable with are as follows:

Disclaimer 1: Like a lot of people who went to high school in the American South, my education in literature is pretty shamefully lacking in a lot of areas.  (As in, during our African American History unit in ninth grade we read To Kill a Mockingbird, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn… and that was it.  As in, our twelfth-grade US History class, I shit you not, covered Gone With the Wind.)  There were a lot of good teachers in with the *ahem* Less Woke ones (how I read Their Eyes Were Watching God and The Bluest Eye) and college definitely set me on the path to trying to find books written/published outside the WASP-ier parts of the U.S., but the overall list is still embarrassingly hegemonic.

Disclaimer 2: There are a crapton of errors — typos, misspelled names, misattributions, questionable genre classifications, etc. — in here.  If you genuinely have no idea what a title is supposed to be, ask me.  Otherwise, please don’t bother letting me know about my mistakes.

Disclaimer 3: I am not looking for recommendations.  My Goodreads “To Read” list is already a good 700 items long, and people telling me “if you like X, then you’ll love Y!” genuinely stresses me the fuck out.

Disclaimer 4: There are no unproblematic faves on this list.  I love Supernatural, and I know that Supernatural is hella misogynistic.  On the flip side: I don’t love The Lord of the Rings at all, partially because LOTR is hella misogynistic, but I also don’t think that should stop anyone else from loving LOTR if they’re willing to love it and also acknowledge its flaws.

Your Decades of Horror Classic Era Grue-Crew make another trip to the land of Roger Corman, Richard Matheson, and Vincent Price in Tales of Terror, the fourth of the eight films in the AIP-Corman-Edgar Allan Poe group of movies.  This one is Whitney’s pick and in support of that pick, she says, “I mean, it’s Vincent Price!” She also appreciates the comedic center segment, “The Black Cat” and even more so because comedy is hard. You can’t go wrong with Matheson is Chad’s first take and he loves being able to see these legends in the same film. This is a first time viewing of Tales of Terror for Daphne, here for a repeat appearance after joining us for our episode on The Phantom Carriage (1920). She loves the variations she sees from Vincent Price as he portrays three different characters and is impressed with the strong and well-developed characters throughout, even though they are in short segments. Jeff also agrees that Tales of Terror is an excellent showcase for Price’s acting talents and absolutely loves Peter Lorre, one of his favorite actors.

This is a fun entry in the AIP-Corman-Poe canon, made even more enjoyable with the supporting cast of Peter Lorre, Basil Rathbone, Joyce Jameson, Debra Paget, David Frankham, Maggie Pierce, and Leona Gage. Tales of Terror is currently available to stream from Amazon Prime and EPIX, and on a Blu-ray disc from Kino Lorber Studio Classics. Check it out!

Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror: The Classic Era records a new episode every two weeks. In the next episode, they will discuss a movie chosen by Jeff which will be Hammer’s Quatermass and the Pit (1967), written by Nigel Kneale and directed by Terence Fisher. You’ll want to be there for that one!
