Also let me know if there's a change to your presentation or if you have something you'd like to present. We've got a great lineup for the con. We've also got a special treat: We'll do a video linkup with the Gotham Pulp Collectors Club to say hello. The GPCC will be celebrating their fifth anniversary on Nov. 13, so they should have a good turnout, too. Among the usual attendees are Robert Lesser (of "Pulp Art" fame), Ed Hulse (who edits Blood 'n' Thunder zine), Chris Kalb (proprietor of the Doc Savage website The 86th Floor and The Spider Returns), Mark Halegua (of Pulps 1st and soon-to-be author), David Saunders (son of pulp artist Norman Saunders and a pulp art historian himself), dealer Rick Hall, and collectors Andrew Porter, Leo Doroschenko and Atticus Gannaway. Who knows who might be there! Back to the lineup. Here's what's planned: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12 Courtney Rogers has kindly offered his house as the Friday night base for Doc Con. We'll venture out for dinner, return to the Rogers Radio Studios for a Doc Savage radio show re-enactment, then spend time visiting. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13 The big gathering gets underway at 9:30 a.m. at Jay Ryan's home. (Feel free to start arriving around 9 a.m.) On the bill this year (order has not been set): - A discussion about Arizona State University students¹ essays on Doc Savage/Prof. Challenger (from ³Lost World²), by Paul Cook - A look and discussion about Scotty Phillips' pulp/paperback cover reproductions, by Rob Smalley - Doc¹s vest vs. Batman¹s utility belt (as well as their other gadgets), by Steve Ringgenberg - A presentation by Howard Wright, publisher of Bronze Gazette - A look at ³Monk Mayfair as Doc Savage¹s Id,² by Fred Forino - Something puzzling from the Doc Con quiz master, Glenn Horner - Something having to do with the Doc Savage Method of Self Development, by Jay - A look at the forgotten Doc Savage TV script, by Bill Lampkin - A video retrospective of Doc Savage comic books, with contributions by Howard, Jay, Courtney Rogers and me - A virtual meet-up with the Gotham Pulp Collectors Club After dinner, we'll screen a video looking back at the pulp era, then spend the evening visiting, talking Doc Savage and all things pulp. Big thanks go to Jay Ryan and Courtney Rogers for allowing us to invade their homes for Doc Con weekend. (And letting us take a look at collections!) WHAT TO BRING - $20 is the admittance fee (which includes lunch and a copy of "The Big Book of Bronze #3"). - One or more Doc Savage/pulp-related things to trade during the raffle time. - Giveaways, if you have them. - Doc or pulp-related items to sell (if you have them). Remember, drop me an email at azdoccon@thepulp.net to let me know if you'll be there Friday night or Saturday; and if there's been a change to your presentation (or if you'd like to do one, it's not too late). Doc Con XIII will be a terrific weekend. Hope you can attend! | |||||||||

| Hard Case Crime - New titles to appear from Titan Publishing in late 2011! From Charles Ardai, Editor: As you know, our relationship with Dorchester Publishing (Hard Case Crime's publisher since the line's launch in 2004) came to an end a few months ago when Dorchester announced it was getting out of the business of publishing mass market paperback books. This left Hard Case Crime without a home. I've spent the past six weeks in meetings with other publishers interested in giving us a new home, and I was gratified to receive offers from five of the firms we met with. They were all firms I respect greatly and would have enjoyed working with; but in the end, one stood out as clearly the best match, and that was Titan Publishing. Based in London, Titan is a publisher both of fiction and of gorgeous art books focusing on pop culture such as movie poster art, pin-ups, newspaper comic strips, and Golden Age comic books; they have worked with filmmakers such as J.J. Abrams, Joss Whedon, and George Lucas; they've been around for 30 years and have more than 200 employees; and in addition to publishing books, they also have a magazine division, own retail stores, and produce merchandise such as t-shirts, sculptures, and accessories. It's fun to imagine what sorts of cool Hard Case Crime products we might create with them! But first things first: books. Titan plans to acquire all existing stock of our old books from Dorchester and to resume shipping those books to stores immediately. New books will start coming next fall, with two titles planned for each of September and October 2011. (Why so long a wait? It has to do with the sales cycle in the book publishing business. Titan's sales force is already selling July/August 2011 titles to stores now; September/October 2011 is the soonest we can get new books out if we want to have enough time for booksellers to consider and order them, and then for Titan to print and ship them, etc.) Our 2011 titles will include two you've hear about before -- QUARRY'S EX by Max Allan Collins and CHOKE HOLD by Christa Faust, both of which were in the works at Dorchester but never got published -- and two you haven't heard about, by major writers in the field. (Can't say who yet...but they've both been named "Grand Masters" by the Mystery Writers of America, the organization's highest honor.) You'll be hearing more about all four books over the coming months, I promise. In the meantime, if you'd like a little taste of QUARRY'S EX and CHOKE HOLD, you can see their cover art and read a sample chapter from each at our Web site, www.HardCaseCrime.com. We will also still be going ahead with our special hardcover 'double' volume with Subterranean Press, featuring two long-lost Lawrence Block novels bound back-to-back. More info on that one as soon as we have a firm publication date and cover art to to show you! In other news, HAVEN, the SyFy television series inspired by one of our books (THE COLORADO KID by Stephen King), just completed its first season and has been renewed for a second. If you haven't seen the show or only caught the first few episodes, I'd encourage you to give it a(nother) try -- it got really good by the end of the season (and no, I'm not just saying that because I wrote the penultimate episode and came up with the story for one before that...). It's a little different from what you see in our books, since every story contains elements of the supernatural -- but it's still a show about a FBI agent, a cop, and a criminal, and features some awfully hard cases... Also: Universal Pictures acquired the rights to two other Hard Case Crime books -- LITTLE GIRL LOST and SONGS OF INNOCENCE by my close personal friend Richard Aleas -- and has attached a director (Jonathan Levine, "The Wackness") and screenwriter (Michael Bacall, "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World") to the project. No guarantee that a movie will actually get made, of course -- but it's a very exciting first step. What else is new? Well, Hard Case Crime's sister line, THE ADVENTURES OF GABRIEL HUNT, is staying with Dorchester for the time being, and they have plans to reissue all of those books -- including the sixth, which never came out in mass market paperback -- in the larger "trade paperback" format (as well as e-book format). If everything goes as planned, those should start coming next year. If you poke around online, you can also find an audiobook edition of one book in the series, HUNT THROUGH THE CRADLE OF FEAR, produced by AudioRealms. If there's ever been a genre suited to audiobook adaptation, it's tales of adventure! That's all the news this time around. There will be more, probably fairly soon -- you'll certainly be hearing from me well before this time next year, when the new books come out. But in the meantime, I want to thank you for all your patience and your support. It's great to know you're out there, as passionate about our books as ever. I promise: We'll give you some good scratching for your itch just as soon as we can. | |||||||||||||

| CONAN THE CIMMERIAN #24 -
Arriving in comic shops October 20th! Written by Tim Truman, penciled by Tomas Giorello, colored by Jose Villarrubia and Dave Stewart, cover by Cary Nord. Conan and Olivia have escaped the terrible wrath of the armies of Turan by fleeing to a small island in the vast Vilayet Sea, but it seems that Conan cannot avoid all the enemies that he made as leader of the Kozaki raiders. The small island that he and Olivia have used to put some distance between them and the Turanian military has turned out to be an appealing hiding place for another group of outlaws -- the Red Brotherhood! Traveling only with the beautiful Olivia, and without an army of mercenaries at his back, Conan is no longer protected from their rage. However, they may not be the most dangerous adversaries Conan will have to face if he and Olivia are to get off the island in one piece! Large predators stalk the forest, and there is something much, much worse lurking within the ruins of an ancient civilization. Tim Truman, Tomas Giorello, and Jose Villarrubia continue their adaptation of Robert E. Howard's "Iron Shadows in the Moon." 40 pages, $2.99 |

Kubert's very first sequential Conan work and illustrations by Cary Nord, Justin Sweet, and Joseph Michael Linsner highlight this latest collection of stories from Dark Horse's ongoing Conan the Cimmerian comic-book series. In his short career as a mercenary, young Conan has impressed both Princess Yasmela and military leader Lord Amalric, but an ambitious rogue prince arrives in Khoraja and blindsides Conan out of the comfortable, courtly situation he's found himself in. Not only is Conan's love affair with Yasmela going south, but rebel Prince Julion immediately challenges Conan's headstrong impulses and military plans, causing a rift between the battered-but-proud forces of Khoraja and Amalric's army of colorful mercs. Collects Conan the Cimmerian #14 and #16-#21. 184 pages, $24.99, in stores on October 20. |

| Doc Savage - New
Will Murray interview online at The Scoop! Will Murray was interviewed by Scoop and it is now posted online. The interview covers the 1985 Doc Savage NPR Show on CD as well as the upcoming new Doc Savage novels. Read the full interview at the Scoop website. Highlights from the interview: Will Murray: I'm in talks to launch a new series of Doc novels based upon Lester Dent’s unfinished plots and story openings. I’ve completed The Desert Demons, set in 1936 California. From his Fortress of Solitude, Doc sends an emergency radio message, ordering all of his assistants to assemble in Los Angeles to deal with a threat greater than anything they have ever known. Lester started this great story, and I’m pleased to finish it for him 75 years later! I’m already working on the next two, The Infernal Buddha and Horror in Gold. Seven are planned. But the sky may be the limit. Will Murray: My novelette, “The Night Car,” leads off Moonstone’s first Green Hornet Chronicles, out now. I have a wild Avenger story in The Avenger Chronicles, Vol. 2, “The Changeling.” Others stories starring The Spider, The Secret 6 and Honey West will appear in various Moonstone collections. Of them all, I’m proudest of “The Adventure of the Imaginary Nihilist,” which teams the Great Detective with Colonel Richard Henry Savage, the inspiration for Doc Savage. I expect to co-edit Doc novels until Sanctum Books runs out of stories to reprint. And if the Radio Archives CD sells well, we might do new audio Doc serials! I’ve already picked Resurrection Day to adapt… | |||||

Paul Wilson: FATAL ERROR - Arriving in bookstores October 12th! Munir Habib's life has become a nightmare. His tormentor has warned Munir not to report the kidnapping of his family, or else they will pay a terrible price. A friend realizes something is terribly wrong and tells Munir he doesn't have to go to the cops. There's a guy who fixes situations like this-Repairman Jack. Jack is backed into helping Munir despite his ongoing involvement in the cosmic shadow war between the Ally and the Otherness. Or perhaps because of it. He's chafing at being forced into the defensive role of protecting the Lady, the physical embodiment of the consciousness of the planet Earth. Meanwhile, the Septimus Order and the Kickers are seemingly working in concert on a plot to extinguish the Lady and open the way for the Otherness to take over our reality. To top it all off, Dawn Pickering finally goes into labor and delivers a baby she only glimpses as it's whisked away, and is terrified by what she sees. Later she's told the baby died, but she doesn't believe it. Neither does Weezy. Neither does Jack. All these interlocking plots mean doom for humanity. But Jack never gives up or gives in.

Coat Press - The October releases are now available! ENEMY FORCE by John-Antoine Nau John-Antoine Nau's 1903 ENEMY FORCE has the distinction of having been the very first novel to receive the prestigious Goncourt Literary Award in France. The author was a rather eccentric surrealist/poet and the novel is indeed quite surreal: its protagonist is a poet who's been committed to a lunatics asylum by his family, following a nervous breakdown. He appears quite sane, except that he suddenly is visited, even possessed, by an entity from outer space, an intelligence from a rather fantastic and hellish planet orbiting Aldebaran. Is the entiry real, or is it a manifestation of the narrator's insanity? The novel ends with one final twist on whether what we have been told is real or not. A rather odd, and yet interesting book, translated by Michael Shreve with a cover by Nick Tripiciano.5x8 trade paperback, 244 pages, $20.95 THE EYE OF PURGATORY by Jacques Spitz In the history of French SF, Jacques Spitz is the bridge between Renard and Rosny on the one and, and René Barjavel and other writers of the 1950s, probably the last great French SF writer to not have been influenced by American SF. Brian Stableford has translated two of Sp[itz's novels, DR MOPS' EXPERIMENT (1939) and THE EYE OF PURGATORY (1945). Both are very Wellsian in concepts and deal with the ability to see through time; in the first novel, a character can peer into the future at an accelerated rate (leading to the usual quandaries about whether one can change what's to come); in the second novel, the protagonist sees not the real future but an increasingly aging present, leading to unique visions of decay, death and beyond. One is somewhat reminded of Thomas Disch or JG Ballard. The cover is by Spanish master Juan Miguel Aguilera. 5x8 trade paperback, 244 pages, $20.95 THE GREEN GODS by Nathalie Henneberg Nathalie Henneberg's colorful, flamboyant THE GREEN GODS (1961), which takes place in a future, post-cataclysmic Earth where men must fight both intelligent plants and giant insects to survive, was translated in the late 1970s by award-winning CJ Cherryh for DAW books. This book reprints a slightly reedited version of Cherryh's translation as well as several other hard to find Henneberg stories previously translated by Damon Knight, and a comprehensive Henneberg biography. Henneberg was compared by DAW to Abrahan Merritt, but I think a comparison with Tanith Lee might be more appropriate. The cover is by French artist Anne Claire Payet. 5x8 trade paperback, 268 pages, $20.95 THE NIGHT ORCHID by Jean-Claude Dunyach Finally, we are pleased to announce our second kindle/epub release: after last month's release of Jean-Claude Dunyach award-winning collection of SF stories THE THIEVES OF SILENCE, we are releasing Jean-Claude's earlier collection, THE NIGHT ORCHID (subtitled "Conan Doyle in Toulouse") in that format. Jean-Claude is not unlike a French David Brin (who kindly wrote the intro to NIGHT ORCHID) and one of France's best contemporary SF writers. | |||||||||||||

Stories reaches Twentieth Issue! Jerry Page, Bob Kennedy and Shelby Vick tossed around the idea of having their October issue be a Special Holiday Issue -- then decided, "Nah -- we'll just see what comes along." What came along was a great group of holiday stories! In reverse order, we start with Eugie Foster's classic story about the origin of Chinese New Year -- well-illustrated by Roy Coker. Then Rob Shelsky flabbergasted us with somc Christmas humor that should become a classic on its own. Jim Griffin took an unusual step and wrote a short Christmas story about his Texas Ranger, Jim Blawcyzk. To this point, the Ranger has only been in novels. The Mountie is involved in a Christmas story, Erwin Roberts presents us with a Grant Rockwell story set in a past Thanksgiving, while the FutureTeam saves Thanksgiving turkeys for the universe, four burlesque girls who happen to be ghosts star in a Halloween trilogy, while the Diamondville Dolls are involved in their own trick'r'treating. Some people might view "Cavern Wight" by Lane Harrison as revisiting a major controversy from the 1940s but the truth is, it's just a lot of fun to read. It's the first of a series and we hope you enjoy it. We also have space opera! Ron Butler brings us another Rory Rammer story, Kirk Straughen gives us excitement, Richard Logan has his hero save a princess, Bob Brolin's strange friend has an adventure -- there's even a Capt Puffin adventure. | |||||||||||||
