Weirdletter has the TOCs for Skelos: The Journal of Weird Fiction and Dark Fantasy #4 (Autumn/Fall 2020). Of likely interest to readers of Tentaclii are…
* “Innsmouth Bus Driver” – by Mark Maddox (frontispiece)
* “Postcards from Lovecraft” – Cliff Biggers (short story)
* Wandrei on Clark Ashton Smith: An Introduction to “Emperor of Dreams” – Scott Connors
* Dracula’s Descendant: An Interview with Dacre Stoker – Anthony Taylor (Dacre being a leading Dracula expert)
On learning that the title has non-fiction, as well as fiction and poetry, I went looking for the TOCs for #1-3. Easier said than done, and only Amazon’s “Look Inside” saved the day. Amazon also shows me that #2 is in Kindle ebook, the others in paperback only. Here are the items likely to interest Tentaclii readers…
#1
* Nameless Tribes: Robert E. Howard’s Anthropological World Building in “Men of the Shadows” — Jeffrey Shanks.
* From the Cosmos to the Test-Tube: Lovecraft, Machen, and the Sublime — Karen Joan Kohoutek.
* A Sword-edged Beauty as Keen as Blades: C.L Moore and Gender Dynamics of Sword and Sorcery — Nicole Emmelhainz.
#2
* Clark Ashton Smith in Carmel — Scott Connors. (Carmel, California)
* “The Shadow Kingdom” and the Origins of Gothic Horror in Robert E. Howard’s Heroic Fantasy — Charles Hoffman.
#3
* Whispers from the Darkness: An Interview with Lynne Jamneck and S.T. Joshi — by Jason V. Brock.
* The Boys from Atlantis – Bobby Derie (article – unknown topic, but may be of interest).
* “It seemed to be a sort of monster”: Misrepresentations of the Cephalopod in the Fiction of Jules Verne and H.P. Lovecraft — Jack Staines.
“The Boys from Atlantis” looks at the major Atlantean series characters that came out of WEIRD TALES: Kull (Robert E. Howard), Elak (Henry Kuttner), and Kardios (Manly Wade Wellman), with some information on other Atlanteans from H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, etc.
