A
month ago
I mentioned that the ebooks were moving from the special page 'Audio
Books & eBooks' (see left) to their respective book and story
pages. That was a lot more work to do than I had anticipated. I checked
everything again, searched for yet unknown ones, and found new
information. Mainly about the stories that are in the public domain
these days, as The Green Odyssey, "Rastignac the Devil", and
"They
Twinkled Like Jewels".
Several of the published ebooks with these stories were already 'gone',
not available anymore. I could not find enough information to include
them in the Bibliography.
Next I have to say that I do not really like to include them
all. Since these stories are in the public domain the printed and ebook
publications come and go, and sometimes are sold for ridiculous prices.
Who buys them? As they are also available for free.
Some of the new editions I found are: the hardcover of Fantastic Universe Super Pack #3
(2018), with the novella "Rastignac
the Devil"; the ebook The
Golden Age of Science Fiction Volume 1 (2018), with the
story "They Twinkled Like
Jewels", and an audio
book of The Green Odyssey (2015)
from IDB Productions.

The
Pulpster #27 |
|
|
8 Mar
2019
 Since
2011 is FarmerCon organized together with PulpFest. In that first year
there was a supplement
in The Pulpster
#20 for and about FarmerCon. There was no separate program booklet for
FarmerCon VI.
In the following years were the FarmerCons still held in conjunction
with
PulpFest, but had their own program booklets again. Like FarmerCon did
in the years before 2011. See here.
Last year, in July 2018, was the 13th FarmerCon, but called FarmerCon
100. Because of Philip José Farmer's 100th Birthday
Anniversary.
There were three different FarmerCon 100 program booklets
published.
No reason to think that the yearly especially for PulpFest published
magazine The Pulpster
had anything about FarmerCon or Farmer.
But I was wrong. The
Pulpster #27 has two pieces on Farmer. One, a short
biography, by the Grand Master himself, "A Fimbulwinter introduction".
Originally published in 1976 as "Philip Jose Farmer Sez..."
The second piece is an essay by Joe R. Lansdale, "The Man with the Electric
Brain". This one also was published before, in 2006, as an
introduction in The Best of Philip
José Farmer.
