Philip
José Farmer's short story "After
King Kong Fell" is included in the 'humans meet apes'
anthology The Apes of
Wrath.
This anthology was published last month by Tachyon Publications.
Editor Richard Klaw explains in his introduction how this anthology
came to be, and he asks himself: "As humanity's closest relation, how
could apes not fascinate?"

The
fisrt
Opar / Khokarsa novel from Titan |
|

Feb 2013
I
have been away for some weeks (hospital), reason why there were no
updates for a while.
Now I'm recovering somewhat, so back to some news.
Titan Books published last January the first Opar/Khokarsa novel, Hadon
of Ancient Opar (1974). I read it again last year
with the publication of the omnibus Gods of Opar: Tales of Lost
Khokarsa, and was pretty surprised how much I enjoyed reading
it after so many years. It is still a very good novel in its genre.
The book has a new introduction
by Christopher Paul Carey, explaining
how this prehistorical novel can be part of the Wold Newton Universe.
Carey also wrote the afterword.
I think the cover illustration a bit lame – it is a novel
full of deadly action and this illustration doesn't really match the
contents – but otherwise Titan Books published a very
beautiful trade paperback. I sure hope that the other two parts of the Opar/Khokarsa cycle will be
published by Titan Books also.
