Was at the antique, this made me think of Gwen I think she’d be all over these serial novels

Especially since her future husband is Danny Bonaduce lmao

Seriously antiquing can help writing in this fandom so so much, especially as 70s is “retro” and vintage now there’s a lot in stores. Such as:

They need to go back to the pulpy novel covers. This cover is 🔥 compared to the unsexy ones they use today.

The Manitou by Graham Masterton

"For as long as there are dark nights and inexplicable fears, the Great Old One will always be there."

I really dug the procedural mechanics of the plotting, and the mix of Native American lore and body horror works wonders in creating an enjoyably horrifying piece of pulpy '70s horror. It reads like a low-budget horror film, putting us face-to-face with grotesque displays of body horror, sending us down endless rundown, poorly lit, hallways suspiciously devoid of people and sticking us in room after room that feel impossibly large, filled with dark corners and their monstrous mysteries.

It does suffer from some minor pacing/exposition issues late in the second act, and the final solution—while creatively appropriate—feels a bit too suddenly realized/unearned, but for the type of quick horror book this is, Masterton really delivers the graphic goods.

8/10

-Timothy Patrick Boyer.

"Have you yet compared us to any group in the past?" She asked. He followed her gaze, wondering in what sense she saw her bedraggled companions. "The early Christians," she told him. "In the catacombs of Rome." She brought up her knees and using her arms as a rest, leaned her head forward, her eyes watching him closely for a reaction. "Perhaps you've never read the Bible," she said. "I believe it was one of the books burned. Our leader objected to the part that said a woman was created of man's rib to satisfy his loneliness." She sighed. "The battle of the sexes even raged in Eden." "And woman was man's downfall," he added.

-The Feminists, by Parley J Cooper

JFC they're bringing the Bible into this.

How the heck is there not more talk about Tanith Lee??

Like my gosh, the woman wrote, according to her wiki, 90 books, over 300 short stories, two World Fantasy Awards, and was the first woman to win the British Fantasy Award/Augus Derleth Award and wrote for tv shows.

Like, it's not like she just wrote a heck ton but wasn't very good! She was clearly very good she won awards, and i've read a swath of her stuff across different genres and really enjoyed most of it. I mean that even if not each one has been my cup of tea I can at least appreciate the skill and quite a lot I have truly enjoyed. She's got great prose and style and imagination. Not everything obviously was a banger, but they've all been at least well written, which is harder to come by in writing than you might think.

But nobody ever seems to talk about her?? And I feel like the fantasy crowd on here would really enjoy her stuff. The woman has done stuff in pretty much every genre from what I can see, but I never see her listed on fantasy authors like Clive Barker or Diana Wynne Jones or Neil Gaiman or Terry Pratchett or Diane Duane even though she was writing at the same time and has a similar sort of '80s Doing Cool Stuff with Fantasy vibe' I feel like people who like those authors would enjoy though she's very much her own style of author.

Anyway this was really just me putting out a rant that such a prolific and talented author seems to have fallen by the wayside and I think it's really a shame

Heck she even did a witch-queen fighting againt vampire Snow White a whole decade before Neil Gaiman did his phenomenal Snow Glass Apples and it's also excellent, give a look here:
