When I first encountered Michael Cisco’s work, I was publishing a magazine titled The Silver Web. At that time I had no intention of venturing into the book publishing world and was content to continue with short fiction only. I often found novels in my mailbox from writers hoping for publication and I turned them all down, manuscripts returned unread.

However, Cisco’s cover letter intrigued me. He said he had been referred to my press by Thomas Ligotti. So of course I had to find out just what it was in Cisco’s work that Ligotti trusted I would enjoy. My intention at this time was merely to read the manuscript and then to return it with a polite rejection.

And then I read the first chapter. Holy crap! In the first chapter a man gets struck by lightning on a hill, and then these shadowy people come out of nowhere to stuff his dead, smoking body full of pages of archaic texts. This brings him back to life and onward to a secretive mission. Holy crap!

So I continued to read on until I realized this was a book I absolutely must publish. I was so completely drawn into the hallucinogenic story that I couldn’t put it down.

As The Divinity Student continues on his journey and enters the city of San Veneficio, he is introduced to a wide variety of characters, and he learns the truth of his mission. He is more than a lowly word-finder, working in the dark shadows of Mr. Woodwind’s office to find words that have fallen out of favor. It is his secret mission to unlock those secret words that have the power, and dare I say it, the magic to transform not only The Divinity Student, but the world.

It is a strange, dark and wonderful adventure that Michael Cisco takes us on—from an isolated Seminary into the bustling dangers of San Veneficio, an odd yet somewhat familiar city in a world of his own making. And just as The Divinity Student is sent on this holy mission to uncover the power of language, so too does Cisco present us with his command of these very words. He draws the reader in with promises of the forbidden and then delivers not just the visions, but the real thing, word by word, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph.

While reading his work, you feel as if you are under the influence of some kind of mind-blowing drug, you’re not quite sure if it is dangerous enough to hurt you or if you will make it through to the end unscathed. But by that point you don’t really care—you just cannot stop reading.

Needless to say, I did publish The Divinity Student, and to great critical acclaim. The novel received a starred review in Publishers Weekly and won an International Horror Guild award. It continues today to be discussed in literary circles and is held up as the perfect example of the modern gothic fantasy novel. Praise from fellow writers was expansive. Brian Stableford said, “It is a brilliantly bizarre and compulsively readable heroic fantasy for everyone who understands why the pen is mightier than the sword.” Paul Di Filippo described the hero as “a neurasthenic Clint Eastwood drifter, a linguistic bounty hunter whose prey is not a man, but an enlightenment beyond logic,” and Ligotti, who was instrumental in bringing the novel to my attention, called it, “a festival of unrealities, an entrancing body of hallucinations mutilated with surgical precision by a masterful literary maniac.”

Since the publication of The Divinity Student in 1999, Cisco’s work has been compared to Borges, Kafka and even William Burroughs (one of his literary heroes). He has published a number of amazing novels. But this is the book that started it all, the one that began his journey into the world of words. It is also the book that got us all hooked on the drug known as Michael Cisco.

The Village of Doel in Belgium, just south of the border with the Netherlands, has been around for centuries.  But back in the late 1990’s a decision was made to clear the town to make way for new expansion plans for the port of Antwerp.  Because of the new construction, the law states there must be land set aside for nature to offset the newly-built areas (called nature compensation).  In this instance the government chose the Village of Doel for expropriation.

As most residents left–many of them unwillingly–squatters came in for a short time.  Artists also traveled to this village to use it as a canvas for their work.  Many left their mark on the village in the form of graffiti.  Some of the abandoned buildings have become a surprise art installation, with imaginatively weird subject matter.  (all photographs courtesy of Ari Kennedy).

This week, in addition to a great piece on Shakespeare and The Weird by Matthew Pridham, I thought it would be good to remind readers that my last issue of Weird Tales is out, featuring a great line-up:

In celebration, we’re posting Finnish writer Leena Likitalo’s story from that issue, “Watcher.” It is her first published story in English. I’m also posting part of my editorial from issue #359 below the cut. Enjoy! — Ann

Weird Tales #359 Editorial (excerpt)

I would like to thank all the readers for coming along on this adventure at Weird Tales with me, and trusting me to find the kind of stories that you love.  Thanks also to the writers and artists for trusting me to take good care of your work and to present that work to the world. I had the opportunity to bring to your attention some great short fiction while also helping further the careers of a lot of up-and-coming writers. 

I am proud of what I have accomplished these past five years. I worked hard to publish a wide variety of weird fiction. In addition to work from Weird Tales’ stalwarts like Tanith Lee and Darrell Schweitzer, I published a new ELRIC novella by Michael Moorcock, and new fiction from brilliant writers like Kathe Koja, Jeffrey Ford, Michael Bishop, Norman Spinrad, J. Robert Lennon, Ian MacLeod, Karen Hueler, Felix Gilman, Sarah Monette, along with work in this issue by Conrad Williams, Joel Lane, and Stephen Graham Jones.

With the aid of Weird Tales creative director Stephen Segal during my first couple of years, we ran many memorable theme issues, including the “85 Weirdest Storytellers” issue to celebrate 85 years of publication (which included a very extensive online discussion), an Uncanny Beauty issue, a steampunk issue and an International Fiction issue. In fact I published work by contributors from over 20 countries during my five years with the magazine, more than any prior editor—including from New Zealand, Canada, Spain, Bulgaria, Philippines, Israel, Serbia, Italy, Slovakia, Czech Republic, France, The Netherlands, Brazil, Finland, Singapore, and Sweden.

I also published many, many new or up-and-coming writers, including: Ramsey Shehadeh, Jeff Johnson, Matthew Pridham, Karin Tidbeck, Leena Likitalo, Tamsyn Muir, Tom Underberg, Peter Atwood, L.L. Hannett, Alistair Rennie, Kelly Barnhill, Micaela Morrissette, Jonathan Wood, Gio Clairval, Rochita Loenen-Ruiz, Amanda Downum, Catherine Cheek, and N.K. Jemisin.

During my tenure this iconic magazine was not only nominated but won the HUGO for the first time in its 80plus-year history.  And Weird Tales also truly entered the twenty-first century, by regularly producing the One-Minute Weird Tales videos, mixing in more art, comics and profiles on provocative artists of all kinds and reaching out to a wider audience to embrace the many ways there are to tell a story.  It was a great ride, but now it’s over. I am still dedicated to seeking out the best of weird fiction wherever it is and bringing it to you (I will still have a hand in here at Weird Tales selecting a new story each issue under the section of ODD.)

The post Weird Tales #359: Contents and Editorial appeared first on Weird Fiction Review.

I am happy that I have Stephen Segal alongside me for this last issue as Art Director and Paula handling the non-fiction.    And I am especially happy that we have this most amazing cover, something Stephen and I have been dreaming about for a few years.  I think I might be in love with this metal man.

I am very proud to present fiction from old favorites like Stephen Graham Jones, Joel Lane and Conrad Williams alongside newcomers Tamsyn Muir, Tom Underberg, Leena Likitalo and Evan J. Peterson.  Some wonderful poetry from Emily Jiang and Keith Schaffner.  Also I am thrilled to have great interviews with writer Laird Barron and artist Richard Kirk as well as cool articles on weird music and, of course, H.P. Lovecraft. 

Keep an eye out for this issue and many more. I will be staying on as a contributing editor, selecting one story per issue and perhaps even having a hand in the soon-to-be re-launched new website.  And speaking of websites, weirdfictionreview.com and Weird Tales will be close friends in the future, with plans for cross-promotion and other good stuff.

Looking forward to keeping it weird….

The post Thanks For Your Support: WFR.com’s First Two Months appeared first on Weird Fiction Review.

Welcome to the Third Week of Weirdfictionreview.com!

We’re very grateful for the immensely positive and energizing responses thus far, and we plan to build on that good will going forward. This week you’ll find an emphasis on the kind of “weird” that might be called dreamlike, in a dark, disturbing, or strange way, with most of our focus on continental European authors. In addition to two features on the great Alfred Kubin–one of which previews our 101 Weird Writers project–we are running fiction from  Finnish icon Leena Krohn, fiction and an interview with the great Czech writer Michal Ajvaz, and a wonderful essay on Franz Kafka. Given that there is an element of weird ritual embodied in some of these writers’ works, we’re also running, late this week or early next, an interview with Margo Lanagan, whose classic “Singing My Sister Down” epitomizes weird ritual in our The Weird compendium. And don’t forget to check out Leah Thomas’s third installment of “Reading the Weird.” Come back every day for new content, and if you like what you read, consider a donation to the site. We’re a labor of love, devoted to bringing you the best on weird fiction.

Sample pages from WFR#2

Print Journal WFR#2 Debuts

In addition, this week marks the debut of the print journal Weird Fiction Review, volume 2, edited by S.T. Joshi. We previewed an essay from volume 2 a week ago, and now you can order the journal for yourself. They are running fiction by Caitlin R. Kiernan, a wonderful essay by Michael Cisco, and much more. You can check out the table of contents and sample pages here—go forth and order! The journal is limited to 500 copies and is yet another sumptuous Centipede Press project. (Although Weirdfictionreview.com does not share staff with the print journal, we support each other.)

Weirdfictionreview.com Now Has a Book Reviewer

I would also like to introduce our book reviewer, Maureen Kincaid Speller, whose contact information we have added to the site. We’re very much looking forward to her first column, scheduled for January.  Per her bio note, “Maureen Kincaid Speller has been a fantasy and SF critic for over 25 years, contributing reviews to Interzone, Strange Horizons, Foundation, Vector (the critical journal of the British Science Fiction Association) and The Zone, among others. She also has her own blog, called Paper Knife. In 2011 the British Science Fiction Association produced a chapbook of her critical writings, And Another Thing: A Collection of Reviews and Criticism, edited by Jonathan McCalmont. She earns a living as a copy editor and proofreader, and is partway through a Ph.D on Native North American literature and ethical approaches to critical theory. She lives in Folkestone, Kent, UK, with her husband, Paul Kincaid, and spends what’s left of her spare time growing vegetables.” Yes, but are they weird vegetables?

Real-Time Reviews of The Weird

Both Des Lewis and Maureen Speller Kincaid (who started before we extended the reviewer offer to her) have been doing real-time reviews of stories from our 750,000-word The Weird compendium, with Kincaid posting, by coincidence, a review of Lord Dunsany’s famous gnoles story just as Leah Thomas’s webcomic this week takes its inspiration from that story and Margaret St. Clair’s riff off of that story (also in The Weird). It’s rather fascinating to watch it unfold, and we’re sure they’d appreciate your encouragement. (This link reveals Maureen’s older reviews of stories from the anthology.)

Gio Clairval

As we indicate in the acknowledgments to The Weird compendium, the anthology was much enriched by writer Gio Clairval’s efforts in translating fiction for us (six stories, ranging from Bernanos to Cortazar, Heym to Buzzati) and helping negotiate permissions with agents and estates. We’ll be featuring an interview with her soon, along with her posts about translating the stories in question and other topics. Anyone looking for a translator to English from Spanish, Italian, German, or French should definitely hire her. She’s posted an entry on her personal blog about her participation in this project, too.

Contest Winner

As you may have noticed, we’ve been running a little what-fictional-school-would-you-go-to contest…and the winner is…Next Friday, for breaking all the rules and entertaining us into the bargain. This lucky winner receives our Lambshead Cabinet anthology with a ton of weird things tossed into the box we send it in…“First of all, the founder of [Hunter College], Thomas Hunter was indeed an immigrant, but not from Ireland as the official history says, but from the 28th century.”

The Future

Next week, due to it being a holiday in the U.S. for Thanksgiving, we’ll post a number of exciting pieces on November 21 to tide you over for the week, including an essay on Michel Bernanos by Edward Gauvin, an essay on Jean Ray by António Monteiro, Scott Nicolay’s Dogma 2011 for Weird Fiction, classic reprints, and an exciting surprise. Going forward, you can expect the following and much more: an interview with Amos Tutuola’s estate (and excerpt of his fiction), a report from Rochita Loenen-Ruiz on Filipino Weird, our 101 Weird Writer feature, and fiction from Tanith Lee, Kathe Koja, Ramsey Campbell, among others. In addition, Edward Gauvin and Nancy Hightower are joining us as semi-regular columnists, Gauvin on the subject of translations and Hightower on the Grotesque. Larry Nolen and Paul Charles Smith will also be joining us. We’ll turn the spotlight more fully on them in future weeks.

We have other exciting developments to share, but they’ll have to wait for a future post. In the meantime, check out our great content this week, pick up a copy of Weird Fiction Review, vol. #2, and keep the feedback coming.  Thanks!

The post This Week: Content, WFR#2 in Print, New Staff appeared first on Weird Fiction Review.

Last month something wonderful happened in Tallahassee, Florida — an event that brought together people from all walks of life and all artistic persuasions.  Florida State University presented the Cute & Creepy Art Exhibit, guest curated by Carrie Ann Baade.

The Opening Night was Friday, October 14, 2011.  Attendees were entertained by circus acrobats while the music of Jane Jane Pollock played in the background.  Many art lovers came dressed in their own costumes, most designed by the ones modeling them.  The capacity crowd included not just college students, but families with young children, retirees, musicians, poets and cowboys.

The audience was presented with the most bold, unusual art ever to grace the walls in this museum.  Twenty-four artists from all over the country were represented in this exhibit with paintings, drawings, sculptures and even a new form of taxidermy (take a look and you’ll see what I mean).  As Carrie Ann Baade says in the exhibit catalogue, “To see beauty in the carnivalesque or macabre, in freaks and in monsters, is a matter of aesthetics.  Most of us can agree on the artistic value of a Monet or Titian but this work is for a daring audience, an audience open to exploring the strange beauty and ecstasy inherent in our culture’s aversion.”

Check out the short video above showing some of the highlights of the exhibit.  Click Here for a link to our C&C gallery that contains photos of some of the pieces in display (all photos courtesy of Sara Howard).

Dear Readers:

Thanks for giving us a great launch week, with thousands coming by to check out features like interviews with Neil Gaiman and Kelly Link, an original webcomic by Leah Thomas, the table of contents and first lines of our The Weird anthology, and a wealth of other material, including a translation of Thomas Owen that I had planned to run in Weird Tales before leaving the magazine. We also just gave you an exclusive from the upcoming volume of the print journal The Weird Fiction Review. Please check it all out, recommend it to your friends, and like us on facebook, where I’ve set up a new page–let’s get to 1,000 or more this weekend! Thanks also to all of the great media outlets that announced our new project, like MediaBistro, io9, SF Signal, SF Scope, and Tor.com, as well as bloggers like Cheryl Morgan.

Speaking of The Weird, here are just a few links from the pre-publicity for this 750,000-word anthology covering 100 years of weird fiction–with much more to come next week and through the end of the year.

–Forbidden Planet features “behind the scenes” and sneak peek at the webcomic.

We plan on new content on WFR every week day through the end of the year, excluding holiday weeks, and then to either continue on a daily basis or post discrete “issues” of the site. We’re currently not open to unsolicited submissions while we explore all of our options. Donations are of course important to us, so if you like what you’re reading, please do contribute through the donation button on the home page. We hope that by the end of our first year Weirdfictionreview.com will be a true repository of all things weird.

As for next week, Weirdfictionreview.com will be going strong with features that include:

—An extended excerpt from China Mieville’s afterword to The Weird
—Three features on Alfred Kubin, the first author in The Weird, two by Paul Smith
