Book Review: Classics Mutilated: CTRL-ALT-LIT edited by Jeff Conner

Thirteen stories in which classic tales and authors are combined with horror or fantasy tales and/or tropes. Or, as the editor calls it, Monster Lit, only with an updated twist or two to keep the new sub-genre alive. Each story has a black and white drawing that invokes the tale that will follow. I’m tempted to copy some of them to frame, they are that good. I’ve never heard of this publisher, IDW out of San Diego until I stumbled across this book at my used book store.

As with any collection, there are highs and lows. Sadly I DNF’d two of the stories, one due to animal/animal-human hybrid abuse. Abuse, especially of animals and children, is a hard line for me, one I do not handle well. If it is a main part of a story, I’m not reading, no matter who the author is or how talented they might be. Most of the stories within this collection were good enough, a few were fantastic. Would I recommend it? Primarily for horror fans. The literature side was more prevalent at the beginning compared to later in the story. A good read overall. 3 out of 5.

“The Fairest of Them All” by Sean Taylor. The dwarves worry about the human girl that they’ve taken into their lives and home. Leader, believed to be the oldest, knows that sooner or later the Wicked Queen will find Snow. Then there will be choices to be made. When an enchanted mirror is discovered deep in the mine, with a girl trapped inside, they take it to Snow. Wow, this really twists the two stories (“Snow White & the Seven Dwarves” and “Alice in Wonderland”) off-kilter, yet there is also a certain logic to this mashup. As they say, “Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely”. 4 out of 5

“Anne-Droid of Green Gables” by Lezli Robyn. Matthew Cuthbert needed help on the farm so, using his savings, he purchased a refurbished prototype android that was never put into mass production. Only he didn’t get the expected androgynous adult droid. Instead he receives a female child overflowing with curiosity about the world and longing for both a bosom friend and a forever home. Let’s start with that illustration, an adorable mix of android and big-eyed rag doll. It makes you want to hug her and keep her safe. As to the story, there are a few changes, other than the obvious. For instance, Matthew and Marilla are a married couple rather than siblings. I absolutely enjoyed this sweet story! 4.5 out of 5

“Little Women in Black” by Louisa May Alcott & Rick Hautala. The March girls are knitting socks for the Union soldiers while lamenting being poor. Their father is serving as a chaplain in Mr. Lincoln’s Army. Beth appears to be a ghost, unable to interact with her family despite her best efforts, yet still present. Jo is still tomboyish, although there are hints that she might actually be trans, or would’ve been in modern times. She makes it clear that she would much prefer to be male and fights the attempts to make her into a proper woman. Jo still meets Laurie, but here we’re given strong hints that he is from another planet. I was fascinated by this story, but I felt it deserved expansion. 4 out of 5

“Death Stopped for Miss Dickinson” by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. Poet Emily Dickinson, very much an introvert, meets a mysterious man in the graveyard outside her window. She becomes terrified that he could become immortal if her sister doesn’t destroy all her work after dying. The tale is jumpy, told from different viewpoints, but never settling long enough to connect. Perhaps a more fluid method of storytelling would’ve increased my enjoyment as there were some jewels of pure beauty in the story, but the nonlinear method just constantly jolted my enjoyment. And, by the way, was Thomas Higgonson really needed? I think not. My first disappointing story. 3 out of 5.

“Twilight of the Gods” by Chris Ryall. Loki is exiled to Jotunheim, his presence unwanted by the people of Asgard. Fine with him as Asgard was no longer working for him. He’s dropped into a new environment that helps Loki find himself. That’s pretty much as far as I got. I could blame Marvel and Tom Hiddleston giving us such a marvelous and witty version of Loki or perhaps the fact that this is a mashup with 90210, a series that I abhorred (along with all the other CW/UPN series in this vapid style), but the reality is that Ryall’s writing voice alternately bored and annoyed me. DNF

“Pokky Man” by Marc Laidlaw. When Hemlock Pyne was found “asleep” at a Pokkypet Reserve, his films were turned over to filmmaker Vernor Hertzwig. Hertzwig interviews Pyne’s friends and acquaintances as well. Huh, a skewed look at Pokeman and Werner Hertzog in this deep dive of what happened to Pyne. Or perhaps it should be why it happened is more accurate. After the disappointments of the last two stories, I was happy to find myself engrossed once again. Strange and intriguing. 3.5 out of 5

“Vicious” by Mark Morris. Sid Vicious is sick, turning on his friends and bandmates, dealing with what is probably crabs, and not giving a shit about pretty much anything when a beautiful black woman appears in the broom closet where Sid had fucked the American fangirl. He’s at a crossroads and must make a decision that will direct his life. This one was hard to rate, but the writing is hardcore and, based on what I remember of Vicious, dead on characterwise. 3.5 out of 5

“From Hell’s Heart” by Nancy Collins. Three men, all new to the trapping trade, decide to pool their resources and partner up. It is successful until the night they trap a strange creature who manages to bite one of them in the hand. As the hand becomes horribly infected, the unnamed narrator goes to the trading post for laudanum, meeting a man named Ahab, a former sea captain, who asks to accompany him back to the cabin where his two partners await. Once there, they discover one man dead and the other no longer recognizable as human. Ahab relates an extraordinary tale before following the creature into the night. I delayed reading this for a bit as I was not a fan of either Moby Dick nor Coleridge’s Ancient Mariner, the inspirations for this story. Yet I found it surprisingly intriguing, although with a most disturbing ending. 3 out of 5.

“Frankenbilly” by John Shirley. While working as a soundman on the set of “Billy the Kid Versus Dracula”, our unnamed narrator meets a mysterious cowboy who claims to be the real Billy the Kid, although he prefers to be called Henry now. He relates a strange tale of how he met the doctor who inspired Mary Shelley’s Dr. Frankenstein before changing his mind about letting that story out. The mixture of fact (the film, the location, the actors involved, some of the history of Billy and Pat) and fiction makes for an interesting horror tale. 3.5 out of 5.

“The Green Menace” by Thomas Tessier. Fleeing Washington after his Senate censure, Senator Joe McCarthy checks into a fishing lodge in the middle of Wisconsin to reconsider his future plans, brood, and do some heavy drinking. Instead he finds himself at war with frogs unlike any he has seen before. I’m honestly not certain why this story appealed to me considering my absolute abhorrence of McCarthy, but it did pull me into its universe. I was pleased to see that the narrator, young Kurt, comes to see McCarthy for what he really was as he grew up and did some research. 3.5 out of 5.

“Quoth the Rock Star” by Rio Youers. When a raven appears at a Doors concert, Jim Morrison is drawn to follow the creature despite believing that it might be a hallucination due to LSD. Walking through the streets of Baltimore, Jim comes to believe that it might be the soul of a broken person. He didn’t expect to meet the long dead Edgar Allan Poe. There begins a partial meeting of two men with much in common, merging into a fight for control, for life, for another chance to create. Two troubled geniuses, both burning themself out through depression, in desperate search for love and a different life. Youers’ voice is so compelling. Knowledge of both men’s lives and works will definitely add to a reader’s enjoyment. 4 out of 5.

“The Happiest Hell on Earth” by John Skipp & Cody Goodfellow. After 37 years in solitary confinement, the elephant man breaks loose, committing suicide, and leaving behind a manuscript that describes how the Animal Wars came to be. I was nervous enough to read this story based on the art that preceded it, but once I started reading, I knew it was more than I could stomach. The animal and animal/hybrid abuse is throughout the entire story, the callousness too much for me. Before I quit, I saw references to Dr. Moreau, another story I find difficult to read, and some barely disguised swipes at Disney. DNF

“Dread Island” by Joe R. Lansdale. Huck Finn and Jim are convinced by Becky Thatcher to go after Tom Sawyer and Joe Hardy when they decide to go to Dread Island. The island, set in the middle of the Mississippi River, can only be seen on the first night of a full moon. Its reputation is that of deadly danger, but Huck cannot abandon his friend and disappoint Becky. Jim reluctantly goes with him. I’ve never read anything from Lansdale before although I’m aware that he has a strong fan base in SFF. If his books are as imaginative and engrossing as this story, I can understand why. First I love that the relationship between Jim and Huck is very father and son as well as friends. Plus Jim is so much more knowledgeable about things and Huck is willing to listen, even if he still insists on going after Tom. Lansdale has mixed Twain’s Huck with Uncle Remus’ Brer animals and Cthulhu into a horrifying adventure. There are even a few recognizable guest appearances from both literature and history, giving a hint as to how this island operates. Brilliant! 4 out of 5.

Contes et légendes : La lune et le bananier- Contes d'Afrique, Thomas Tessier

Au commencement, Dieu avait créé et mis sur Terre un seul homme et une seule femme.Un jour, il les interrogea :« Que préférez-vous, la mort de la Lune ou la mort du bananier ?— Seigneur, dirent-ils, nous ne comprenons pas.— Voulez-vous être comme la Lune, qui reste invisible tous les mois pendant quelques jours, mais qui réapparaît ensuite, ou préférez-vous être comme un bananier, qui meurt après…

And because Tumblr doesn't allow more than 10 embedded links:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/13/us/usc-president-speech-plagiarism.html

The idea that Claudine Gay was treated differently than other university presidents because of her skin color is not entirely untrue. Just not the way activists are trying to pretend.

If Claudine lived in "an anti-black world," she would have been ousted before Liz Magill. For that matter, she never would have been gently elevated the university presidency in spite of a weak - and as it turns out, fraudulent - academic history.

Have you noticed that the tactics and behaviors of activists mirror those of coercive controlling abusers?

Either Harvard's board hired someone for their top-most position without actually checking their academic credentials, or worse, did check, but hid it and proceeded anyway. Both roads lead to diversity hire.

The Murder of Maria Ridulph: Solved or Unsolved?

December 30, 2022

Maria Ridulph was born on March 12, 1950, to Michael and Frances Ivy Ridulph in Sycamore, Illinois. She was the youngest of four. Maria’s mother described her daughter as high-strung and explained that if she got in any kind of trouble she would become hysterical. Maria was also known to be a “screamer” and afraid of the dark.

On December 3, 1957, 7 year old Maria begged her parents to go outside after it began to snow. After supper, Maria and her best friend, 8 year old Kathy Sigman who lived on her street, went outside near Maria’s house and played a game called “duck the cars.”

According to Kathy, the two young girls were approached by a man said to be in his early 20′s, tall with a slender chin, light hair, a gap in his teeth and wearing a colourful sweater. The man told the girls his name was Johnny and that he was 24 but not married. He asked Maria and Kathy if they liked dolls and piggyback rides. “Johnny” gave Maria a piggyback ride and after Maria had returned to her house to get a doll to show Johnny.

When Maria returned with the doll, Kathy claimed to have gone back to her house to grab her mittens. When Kathy returned, Maria and Johnny were gone.

Kathy decided to go to the Ridulph house to tell Maria’s parents she couldn’t find her. Maria’s parents thought she was hiding and sent her brother to go look for her, but to no avail. The Ridulph’s then called the police and a search began.

Within two days, the FBI were on the case, believing that it Maria might have been abducted across state lines. After conducting several interviews from witnesses who saw the girls throughout the evening, it was suggested that “Johnny” had approached Maria and Kathy after 6:30 pm, and Maria had been abducted between 6:45-7 pm.

Because Kathy was the only witness to have actually seen Johnny she was placed in protective custody, as officials feared Johnny would come back and try to harm her. Authorities had Kathy look over photos of convicted felons who resembled how she described Johnny.

In late December 1957, Kathy was taken to Madison, Wisconsin, to see a lineup of suspects. She positively identified a 35 year old man named Thomas Joseph Rivard. However, Rivard had an alibi and was in jail at the time of the kidnapping of Maria. Years later when interviewed Kathy says she does not remember ever picking Rivard out of the lineup.

On April 26, 1958, near Woodbine, Illinois, two tourists looking for mushrooms in a wooden area came across the skeletal remains of a small child, who was wearing only a shirt, undershirt and socks. The condition of the body indicated it had been there for many months. Based on dental records, a lock of hair, and the clothes she had been wearing, the skeletal remains were positively identified as Maria Ridulph.

Maria’s coat, pants, shoes and underwear were not found. There were no photos taken of the actual crime scene as coroner James Furlong did not want any photo’s of Maria’s body being leaked to the media. Because the body was found and did not cross state lines by being in Illinois, the FBI withdrew from the case.

An initial autopsy did not determine cause of death, but an autopsy conducted 50 years later concluded that Maria was most likely stabbed several times in the throat.

An initial suspect was John Tessier, born John Cherry on November 27, 1939. John’s father had been killed in World War II. During the war, John’s mother met a man named Ralph Tessier, and later married him in November 1944. The pair then moved to Sycamore, Illinois and had 6 more children together.

The Tessier family home was located around the corner from the Ridulph’s, less than two blocks away. At the time of Maria’s abduction, John was 18 years old and living at home, making plans to join the US Air Force.

On December 4, 1957, police visited John’s house as part of their neighbourhood search, but John’s mother had told them he had been home on the night of December 3. John became a suspect to FBI after Maria’s body was found, though it is unclear whether he was a suspect due to a tip from a local resident, or by his own parents who wanted to clear their son and realized the description of “Johnny” matched him.

John and his parents told FBI that he was in Rockford, Illinois, on December 3, to enlist in the Air Force, a different story than what his mother previously said. On December 4, he claimed to have sight seen in Chicago before making his way back home. There was record of a phone call John placed to his parents asking for a ride home. Due to this alibi, and passing a lie detector test, John was taken off the suspect list.

Kathy Sigman was never shown a photo of John or asked to identify him.

John Tessier served in the US military for 13 years and became captain. He became a police officer after in the town of Lacey, near Olympia. In 1982, in Tacoma, Washington, John took in a 15 year old runaway named Michelle Weinman and her friend. It was reported that John fondled Michelle and performed oral sex on her.

John was charged with statutory rape, and pleaded guilty to communication with a minor for immoral purposes. He was sentenced to one year of formal probation and terminated from the Milton Police Department on March 10, 1982.

On April 27, 1994, John changed his name legally to Jack Daniel McCullough, saying he wanted to honour his mother. In 2011, John was in his early 70′s, living in a retirement community in northwest Seattle, working as a security guard.

In 1997, Maria’s case, then 40 years old was closed and named William Henry Redmond, a former truck driver and carnival worker from Nebraska the man who likely killed her. Redmond had died in 1992. Redmond had been charged in 1988 with the murder of an 8 year old Pennsylvania girl in 1951, but the case was eventually dismissed.

He was also a suspect in the 1951 disappearance of 10 year old Beverly Potts in Ohio (covered earlier on this blog.)

Maria’s case was reopened in 2008, from new information coming from John’s half sister, Janet Tessier. Janet said on their mother’s deathbed in 1994, she confessed that John did it. Janet and another sister, Eileen, had both suspected that John was involved, and Janet said she made attempts over the years to get officials to look into her mother’s statement.

John’s other sisters also had suspected him, and his sister Jeanne told officials John had molested her and other young girls as a child.

Police took Kathy Sigman (now Chapman) photos of John Tessier and she identified him as the man named “Johnny.” An unused military train ticket from Rockford to Chicago also confirmed that John had driven his own car to Rockford and not taken the train like he had claimed. He would’ve had enough time to drive back to Sycamore on the afternoon of December 3, 1957, and kidnap Maria.

In 2011, John was brought in for questioning and began becoming aggressive when Maria’s kidnapping and his whereabouts that night were brought up. He was arrested and extradited to Illinois.

The trial began in September 2012, and determined that John was attracted to Maria and decided to kidnap her, but instead ended up killing her. There was no DNA evidence found despite Maria’s body being exhumed.

However, several witnesses identified John as “Johnny” including Kathy, who was the star witness. On September 14, 2012, John Tessier, known as Jack Daniel McCullough was convicted of kidnapping and murdering Maria Ridulph. He was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole after 20 years. He was 73 years old.

On April 15, 2016, a new trial was ordered due to an attorney named Richard Schmack, who extensively reviewed evidence of the case and determined that John could not have committed the murder of Maria Ridulph. According to Schmack, evidence of John’s whereabouts were kept out of the trial. Phone records that John made to his mother from a payphone in Rockford, rather than Sycamore which was alleged in his trial proved he could not have been in Sycamore during Maria’s abduction.

John was still charged with the crime, but released on bond the day pending the new trial. A week later, Judge Brady dismissed the charges, but without prejudice, meaning John could still be tried again. Jack Daniel McCullough was declared innocent on April 12, 2017 by the DeKalb County Circuit Court.

There is a bronze memorial plaque on a pedestal outside the Sycamore Municipal Building in Maria’s honour. The Ridulph family also established a “Maria Ridulph Memorial Fund” later used as a scholarship, and summer camp fund for local children in need.

So who do you believe murdered Maria Ridulph? Is the case solved or still unsolved to you?

Contes et legendes : la rose bleue - Thomas Tessier

Une jeune princesse possédait toutes les qualités que l’on pût désirer. Ses yeux d’un bleu profond illuminaient un visage ravissant, et tout le monde admirait la façon qu’elle avait de raconter des histoires. Sa mère était morte à sa naissance, et son père l’adorait et ne lui refusait rien.La princesse cependant avait un défaut : se considérant comme une personne parfaite, elle exigeait que tout…

Le Soleil un jour dit à la Lune : « Ma chère amie, nous avons beaucoup trop d'enfants, qui nous causent bien du tourment, mangeons-les. — Je suis de votre avis, répondit la Lune, mais ce serait trop horrible de manger ses propres enfants. Envoyez-moi chaque jour un des vôtres, et je vous ferai servir, en retour, un des miens. » Le Soleil accepta et la Lune reçut dès le lendemain un des fils de son ami. Elle n'y toucha pas, mais l'arrosant d'une nouvelle sauce, le renvoya au Soleil qui, sans se méfier et croyant qu'il s'agissait d'un enfant de la Lune, le mangea. Ainsi firent-ils tous les jours… Et le Soleil perdit tous ses enfants. La Lune, par contre, conserva tous les siens. C'est pourquoi on peut voir, le jour, le Soleil seul au firmament, tandis que la Lune, la nuit, est entourée de sa nombreuse progéniture d'étoiles. Collectif, Contes d'Afrique, ill. Thomas Tessier, Circonflexe Merci Alice d'avoir adoptée cette petite lune 🌙. #tattoo #tattoos #tatouages #tatouagemagazines #tatouagetroyes #tatouagefeminin #watercolortattoos #watercolortattoo #lune #moon #ink #inked #art #attrapereve #dreamcatcher #dreamcatchertattoo #dream #troyes #couleurs #colors ##inkstagram #picoftheday #photooftheday #photodujour #lunes #moontattoo #illistration #aquarelle #tatouageaquarelle #artiste (at Encre Moderne) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceitt4RtkzO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

John - Who Gone Be | Music Video Trailer from Vita Pictura on Vimeo.

The official music video for “Fight City” mini-series produced by Vita Pictura and Roll Up Films and directed and performed by John Lee.

John Lee created this series while teaching math at a high school and doing his master’s degree. Fight City was shot in New York, Cleveland, and Tallinn. The film builds on the range of issues one faces while growing up in a community segregated by financial status, class, and race. The production just proved that film has no boundaries, as long as you are convinced to go through all of the ups and downs of the process.
