Hey, I'll be in the mountains of New Hampshire this weekend, too! Of course, that's why I moved here, so it may not be the same thing.

Enjoy your visit, Mr. Richmond...

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20080731.htm I only have a black and white laser printer so I can't print Ed Gorman's blog logo in color. I pulled the URL out of the code which should make it easier for someone else. It is: http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3474/4050/1600/blogheader.0.jpg Harlan, ...

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20080731.htm Ed Gorman's latest blog entry is on the Lovecraft-inspired art book that was a topic here a few months back. Gorman mentions Harlan here: "The interpretations of Lovecraft demonstrate the breadth of his influence on our culture. The introduction by Harla...

I feel inspired to have someone label me as "undimmed by compromise or common sense." I'm sure I should aim higher but that sounds kind of good to me.

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20080731.htm I subscribe to the A.Word.A.Day list where each day an unusual or uncommon word is the subject of an e-mail. It shows the word, its origin, and an example of its usage. Today's word is "quisquilian" and the quoted example is from "Harlan Ellison's Watchi...

Today on Neil Gaiman's blog he recalls it the "best advice from a writer" he's ever received. And it was from Harlan.

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20080511.htm Am I the only one who didn't like "The Terror"? At all? I've been a long-time "fan" of the Franklin Expedition as well as its subsequent related adventures (I have dozens of books). As for Simmons, I've got almost all of his books, have read most of them...

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20071217.htm Clearly Harlan is crying for help and I intend to do my part. My two children, girl (age 6) and boy (age 3), are packed and ready to fly out to California upon confirmation of logistical arrangements. Sabrina has a home-made Princess Rosella costume (fro...

I did post Harlan's message to the Rara Avis list this morning.

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20071217.htm And the one about the ripping: A few corrections and additions to my post of a few minutes ago on paperback "Doubles." The Day Keene Double I was thinking about was not published by Belmont or Macfadden (although Macfadden was a regular Keene publisher)....

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20071217.htm Yes, this is a double post but if I've stirred up a hornet's nest (of any size) I've done a disservice to everyone involved. Here's the text of author Richard Moore's post on the Rara Avis list concerning Harlan: Harlan Ellison I have a permanent warm sp...

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20071217.htm Rara avis (from Hammett's Maltese Falcon) is a mailing list concerned with noir fiction. In other words, subscribers to the list either receive any post sent to the list or else have the option of receiving a daily "digest" version that includes the day'...

Name: Rick Ollerman Source: unca20071217.htm Harlan's been talked about a few times on the Rara Avis list the past week. One gentleman told a story about how Harlan would tear in half a double book when asked to sign it and promote the other half's author instead. He wondered if that story were act...
