The Appendix N Podcast - Episode 24 - Selected Works by H. P. Lovecraft, Part 4
Sinister forces lurk
just beyond our understanding, ready to snuff out humanity like a candle. In
these three tales, we will learn about horrors from outer space, horrors from
the bottom of the sea, and one terrible old woman who knows a little too much about
mathematics!

The Appendix N Podcast - Episode 8 - The King of Elfland's Daughter by Lord Dunsany
Wednesday Oct 01, 2014
Wednesday Oct 01, 2014
Jeff Wikstrom and I discuss The King of Elfland’s Daughter by Lord Dunsany. A prince of the normal world brings home an Elf princess to be his wife, but it doesn’t turn out quite like everyone hand planned.Dunsany, Lord. The Book of Wonder, The Essential Lord Dunsany Collection, The Gods of Pegana, The King of Elfland’s Daughter, Lord Dunsany Compendium, and The Sword of Welleran and Other Tales.Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, 18th Baron of Dunsanyborn 1878, died 1957Lord Dunsany was an Irish writer and dramatist, notable for his work, mostly in fantasy, published under the name Lord Dunsany. More than eighty books of his work were published, and his oeuvre includes many hundreds of published short stories, as well as successful plays, novels and essays. He is considered a major influence on the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, and Ursula K. Le Guin.Born to the second-oldest title (created 1439) in the Irish peerage, Dunsany lived much of his life at perhaps Ireland’s longest-inhabited home, Dunsany Castle near Tara, worked with W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory, received an honorary doctorate from Trinity College, was chess and pistol-shooting champion of Ireland, and travelled and hunted extensively. He died in Dublin after an attack of appendicitis.Dunsany began writing in the late 1890s and "burst onto the publishing scene" with The Gods of Pegana in 1905. His first stories were set in an invented world with its own gods, history and geography.Dunsany eventually began writing novels and his most well-known novel, The King of Elfland's Daughter, was published in 1924 and is the inspiration of Neil Gaiman's film, Stardust.Next we will be reading:The Doom That Came to Sarnath, From Beyond, The Temple, The Music of Erich Zann, Herbert West - Reanimator, The Lurking Fear, The Rats in the Walls and The Call of Cthulhu by H.

The Appendix N Podcast - Episode 7 - The Moon Pool by Abraham Merritt
Wednesday Sep 10, 2014
Wednesday Sep 10, 2014
My guest and I discuss The Moon Pool by Abraham
Merritt. An international group of scientists and explorers investigate a
mysterious alien being that snatches innocent travelers in the South Pacific
and ends up discovering a lost underground civilization.

Vault of the Drow by Gary Gygax — $22
Merrit, A.: CREEP, SHADOW, CREEP; MOON POOL; DWELLERS IN THE
MIRAGE; et al
“The most immediate influences upon AD&D were probably de Camp
& Pratt, R. E. Howard, Fritz Leiber, Jack Vance, H. P. Lovecraft, and A.
Merrit”
Abraham Merritt
born 1884, died 1943
Wikipedia names H. Rider Haggard, Robert W. Chambers, Helena
Blavatsky and Gertrude Barrows Bennett (writing as Francis Stevens) as “heavy
influences.”
He was a major influence on Appendix N authors H. P. Lovecraft and
Michael Moorcock. He was referenced in the Lensman series by
E. E. Smith.
Born in Beverly, New Jersey. Primarily a journalist. Assistant
editor of The American Weekly from 1912 to 1937 and then
editor until his death in 1943.
Merritt’s first fantasy story was “Through the Dragon Glass”
(1917)
The Moon Pool originally
appeared in All-Story Weekly as two short stories “The Moon
Pool” (1918) and “Conquest of the Moon Pool” (1919). Later reworked into a
novel, apparently something of the original story was lost. Writes Lovecraft in
1934: Merritt is certainly great stuff — he has a subtle command of an
unique type of strangeness which no one else has been able to parallel.
You are absolutely right in considering his original Moon Pool novelette — as
published in the All-Story for June 22, 1918 — his best work. The sequel
— The Conquest of the Moon Pool — was relatively commonplace and tainted with
the atmosphere of cheap popular fiction. It is a major crime that many of
the best touches were taken out of the novelette when it was fused with its
sequel to form the ultimate book version.
