In the corner gas station, the local saloon, on the down-east farm, in the settings of EVERYDAY - there appear UNEXPECTEDLY THE ALIEN, THE WEIRD, THE MYSTERIOUS The title story tells of one tearful stray from a herd of alien livestock which crushes most of Manhattan and causes apologetic herders to make amends. There is a shivery novelette about the abduction of a country wife by a hairy beast, and the story of a pickup truck full of mythical characters asking directions to Olympus. Then there are the ten-legged blue bugs from inner - or outer - space that can give you a dream - or a nightmare; the shadow-monkeys who have the absurd habit of following along and changing by what you think; the tiny angel that hatches from an egg; and the 'wrens' that hatch from Grandpa's beard the summer he was 106.
From cabaret songs inspired by Buster Keaton to Mickey Mouse's diagnosis as a “melo-maniac,” Weimar Slapstick and Hollywood Comedy Transformed explores the extraordinary appeal of American slapstick, cartoon, and screwball comedies during and after Germany's Weimar Republic. Bridging two crucial sites of interwar modernity, Paul Flaig offers a fundamental reassessment of Weimar culture, Hollywood comedy, and their intertwined legacies. Through a series of comic pairings-including Harold Lloyd and Curt Bois, Felix the Cat and psychotechnics-Flaig investigates the aesthetic, political and sexual forces that shaped Weimar Germany's fascination with American film comedies, as they were taken up and transformed by German filmmakers, philosophers, advertisers, artists, and politicians. Examining a wide range of sources-including films, manifestoes, arts journals, feuilletons, and trade press reports-he underscores the essential and diverse contributions of Weimar culture to our understanding of these comic laboratories of modernity.
Edgar Pangborn studied music at Harvard when just 15 years old, eventually turned his back on music to focus on his writing. He flourished in the early '50s, producing a string of highly-regarded stories for the likes of Galaxy, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction and Ellery Queen's Mystery magazine. His work helped establish a new 'humanist' school of science fiction, and has been cited as an influence by Ursula Le Guin. This omnibus contains the Hugo-shortlisted Davy, International Fantasy Award-winner A Mirror for Observers and story collection Good Neighbours and Other Strangers. DAVY: A HUGO and NEBULA AWARD nominee, this post-apocalyptic science fiction novel is Pangborn's most...
Elizabeth Hand, Stephen King, and Edgar Pangborn put Maine on the map as a place where otherworldly things happen. But they're not the only authors who see the state as a source of inspiration for fantasy and science fiction. Twenty-four writers from Mark Twain to Jack L. Chalker, Gardner Dozois — and, yes, Hand, King, and Pangborn — present everything from dark fantasies of the past to a utopian vision of the future.
