I was going through my books, trying to decide what to read next, when I noticed that I had a lot of collections of short stories.

So i've decided to play a reading game.

I've written out a list of all of the short story collections I own and given each a corresponding number. I'll roll a die and I'll read a random story from a collection with the corresponding number. The goal is to read my way through the list and sample how each writer approaches short story writing. Some of these are writers I've read novels or novellas but not short stories, some I've read other stories, and some I've never read anything from before.

Here's the list with corresponding numbers, 17 collections from 17 writers from various genres and eras.

1. The Complete Solomon Kane by Robert E. Howard

2. The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway

3. The Best of Richard Matheson

4. The Complete Western Stories of Elmore Leonard

5. Poseidonis by Clark Ashton Smith

6. Books of Bloods Vol.2 by Clive Barker

7. The Complete John Silence Stories by Algernon Blackwood

8. In the Land of the Lost and other Fantasy Stories by Lord Dunsany

9. A Song for Lyra by George R. R. Martin

10. The White People and Other Weird Stories by Arthur Machen

11. Vathek and Other Stories by William Beckforth

12. The Complete Fiction of H.P. Lovecraft

13. The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski

14. Tales of the Jazz Age by F. Scott Fitzgerald

15. Departures by Harry Turtledove

16. Night Shift by Stephen King

17. Dracula's Guest and Other Stories by Bram Stoker

Public Domain Notice!

Happy Public Domain Day here in the USA!

today, January 1st 2023 marks the day all works published in the year 1927 enter the public domain! This includes books, movies and music.

Here are a few of the most famous and important works entering public domain today:

The final two Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. You likely have heard something about this, while the character of Sherlock Holmes has been public domain for many years a handful of stories in Conan Doyle's last collection of Holmes stories, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, published in 1927 remained under copy right. The famously litigious Conan Doyle Estate Ltd has used it's control of these copyrights to pressure movie, TV, and even authors to pay them when using the public domain character of Sherlock Holmes or adaptations of public domain stories. Well finally the last of their copyrights have finally run out and you can publish a collection of all 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories (and 4 novels) if you want, or use elements from these final stories in your own Sherlock Holmes story and the Conan Doyle Estate Ltd can finally go fuck itself.

speaking of detectives, the first 3 Hardy Boys novels, The Tower Treasure, The House on the Cliff, and The Secret of the Old Mill are also entering public domain, as such you are free to include Frank and Joe Hardy in your own work of fictions, but be careful to stick to their characterization from these first 3 books.

other exciting books entering the public domain today are, To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf, Men Without Women (a short story collection) by Ernest Hemingway, The Big Four by Agatha Christie (big year for detectives huh?) Mosquitoes by William Faulkner, Twilight Sleep by Edith Wharton, The Gangs of New York by Herbert Asbury, Der Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse, Amerika by Franz Kafka

in terms of movies one of the most famous silent films ever made and one of the most visually iconic, Metropolis directed by Fritz Lang will reenter the Public Domain, The American copyright lapsed in 1953 making the film widely available and allowing for versions with material that had been cut from the 1927 version to be published in the 1970s and 80s. However under an international copyright agreement the film was returned to copyrighted status in 1996. But Today it's back back back again in the Public Domain!

Other exciting films entering the public domain are The Jazz Singer the very first "Talkie", Wings the very first Academy Award for best picture (or "outstanding picture" as it was then) The King of Kings directed by Cecil B. DeMille, Sunrise directed by F.W. Murnau (his first American film!) and The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog first first thriller directed by legendary director Alfred Hitchcock

the musical Show Boat by Oscar Hammerstein II will also enter the public domain with songs like Ol’ Man River, the musical Funny Face, and Good News with songs like Funny Face and The Best Things in Life Are Free, stand alone songs (I Scream You Scream, We All Scream for) Ice Cream, Puttin’ on the Ritz, Potato Head Blues, Gully Low Blues, East St. Louis Toodle-O, and Mississippi Mud will all be free to the public today

Finally a piece of Disney history is entering the public domain. Oswald The Lucky Rabbit first appeared in 1927 and will be free to appear in works of fiction this year, a year ahead of his younger brother Mickey Mouse

[oaxleaf]

finally caught up with malevolent, and god, do i love part 29. but, arthur's pseudonym apparentely being a real person got me thinking, so i searched it up, and i am presuming he named himself after william ernest henley (1849 - 1903), an english poet and writer

two things that really stuck out to me when looking through the wikipedia article: first of all, he had a daughter, margaret emma henley (b. 1888). she was his only child and died in 1894 at the age of five. secondly, henley had tuberculosis from the age of twelve, and this was what eventually killed him. what caused it to flare up again, however, was an incident in 1902 when he fell from a railway carriage

arthur just picks the most ironic things to associate himself with, doesn't he?

[knoxious-overstreet]

knoxious!!! do u ever read for fun.....like not just for school.....and if yes fav book/s!!!!!!!!

Hey there!

Oh jeez, I really don’t read for fun enough, but here are some of my favorites that I’ve read:

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

The Sherlock Holmes Collection by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (my favorites are A Study in Scarlet and The Hound of the Baskervilles)

Lord of the Flies by William Golding

The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway

That’s all I can think of for now. Thanks for the ask!

What are some of your favorites?

[soc69]

Books I’d recommend based on your favourite Hazbin hotel character:

Angel dust: (sorry his recommendations aren’t too plentiful, I know he’s a lot of people’s favourite but I just don’t think of him as being an avid reader so I haven’t attached him to a lot of books.)

- Obviously there’s The Godfather trilogy but anything by Mario Puzo I would also recommend for the Italian mafia links

- Giorgio Bassani’s The Gold Rimmed Spectacles (yes, it’s because it’s both Italian and gay, stfu)

- Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima

- The Ragged Trousers Philanthropists

- Naked Lunch William S. Burroughs

- Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh (I’m sorry I had to, it’s got drugs)

Husk: woof, do I have a lot of suggestions for him! I headcanon him as an avid reader and the time that he would have been alive is my absolute favourite literary period, so, here we go.

- ANYTHING by Charles Bukowski

- Anything by Ernest Hemingway

- Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

- On The Road by Jack Kerauc

- Queer by William S. Burroughs

- The Stranger by Albert Camus

- Diary of an Oxygen Thief (don’t come for me there has to be a reason he’s in hell)

- The Gambler by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

- The Master and The Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov

- The Double by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

- Down and Out in London and Paris by George Orwell

- Another Country by James Baldwin

- Giovannis Room by James Baldwin

- Stoner by John Williams

I could just go on and on with this one so I’m gonna have to leave this here.

Alastor:

- obviously anything by Fitzgerald because he is the king of swing

- Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams

- The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen (I think he’d find the plot to be a great source of inspiration)

- Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

- American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis (I had to)

- Nausea by John Paul Satre

- Tender is The Flesh by Augustina Bazterrica (obviously I had to include some cannibalism)

- No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai

- Trust by Hernan Diaz

- i also feel like he’d be a big Daphne Du Maurier fan and i base this on absolutely nothing

(I will gladly continue with the other characters if people actually want that because this is so fun for me)

Favorite Villains of Classic English Literature

Professor Moriarty - This villain is pure, beautiful simplicity: he's an alternate version of the hero with the morality removed. Both Holmes and Moriarty are quirky loners with genius IQs that thrive on challenging their intellects via loaning it out to others in some form of service. But Holmes has a conscience, a sense of right and wrong, which is why his service is that of a consulting detective, whereas Moriarty is a total sociopath whose service is that of a consulting criminal, meaning that he has an invisible hand in almost every crime that's carried out in London. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle gives an absolutely perfect description of him and how he operates as a villain: "He is the Napoleon of crime. He is the organizer of half that is evil and of nearly all that is undetected in this great city. He is a genius, a philosopher, an abstract thinker. He has a brain of the first order. He sits motionless, like a spider in the center of its web, but that web has a thousand radiations, and he knows well every quiver of each of them. He does little himself. He only plans. But his agents are numerous and splendidly organized. Is there a crime to be done, a paper to be abstracted, we will say, a house to be rifled, a man to be removed--the word is passed to the Professor, the matter is organized and carried out. The agent may be caught. In that case money is found for his bail or his defense. But the central power which uses the agent is never caught--never so much as suspected."

Favorite adaptations: Professor Moriarty (Ernest Torrence) in Sherlock Holmes (Fox, 1932), Professor Moriarty (Lionel Atwill) in Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon (Universal, 1943), Professor Moriarty (Eric Porter) in Sherlock Holmes (Granada, 1984), Professor Ratigan (Vincent Price) in The Great Mouse Detective (Disney, 1986), Jim Moriarty (Andrew Scott) in Sherlock (BBC, 2010), Jamie Moriarty (Natalie Dormer) in Elementary (CBS, 2012), and William "Liam" James Moriarty (Soma Saito) in Moriarty the Patriot (Shueisha, 2016).

Captain Hook - If Professor Moriarty is a great complex presentation of a simple character, then Captain Hook is the opposite: a complex character who is presented simply. A ruthless pirate captain with a limb replaced by the object he derives his name from is the easiest thing in the world to understand, but there's much more to old James beneath that surface: a well-educated English gentleman depressed with the notion that he's squandered his life away but too far gone in his pride to turn back, constantly striving for "good form" even when his occupation doesn't allow for much of it, and obsessed with getting revenge on Peter Pan partly out of jealousy and partly to distract from the inevitability of the end result of what Pan did to him - namely, an ever-pursuing crocodile that will ultimately mark the end of his life when the clock it swallowed finally stops ticking. If Pan shows the problems with never growing up, then Hook shows the problems with losing your innocence when you grow up. For as over the top of a villainous character as he is, he's also a tragic, even relatable one.

Favorite adaptations: Captain Hook (Ernest Torrence) in Peter Pan (Paramount, 1924), Captain Hook (Hans Conreid) in Peter Pan (Disney, 1953), Captain Hook (Cyril Ritchard) in Peter Pan (Broadway, 1954), Captain Hook (Tim Curry) in Peter Pan and the Pirates (Fox, 1990), Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman) in Hook (Amblin, 1991), Captain Hook (Jason Isaacs) in Peter Pan (Universal, 2003), "Jimmy" (Rhys Ifans) in Neverland (Syfy, 2011), Killian Jones (Colin O'Donoghue) in Once Upon a Time (ABC, 2012), Captain Hook (Stan Tucci) in Peter and Wendy (ITV, 2015) and Captain Hook (Jude Law) in Peter and Wendy (Disney, 2023).

And hey, wouldn't you know it! The same actor got the ball rolling in my favorite adaptations of both these characters! Clearly, the two of them were always destined to share this post.
