Called the King of the Pulps, Frederick Schiller Faust, aka Max
Brand, wrote nearly 400 Westerns from The Untamed to Destry Rides
Again-a total of more than 220 books in this genre. Yet Max Brand
also created Dr. Kildare (of books, films, and television) and
wrote under twenty-one pseudonyms, in another dozen genres. This
book removes the mask, with deeply personal memoirs from family,
friends and fellow writers, taking us through his orphaned boyhood
on the brutal ranches of California, his frustrating decades in
Italy, as both a classical poet and a fast-action pulpist, to his
heroic death as a war correspondent on the World War II
battlefields. Faust's life story is augmented by a complete
bibliography of his work-over a thousand books, stories, and
films-plus the first listing of works about Faust.
The second four issues of Weird Tales as published by DNA

help the reader with construction of characters, dramatic
development, and dialogue. The writer will learn how to hook the
reader on the first page, how to develop conflict, the craft of
revision, and more.

has been trained to kill; born and bred from conception to be the
best of the best. But his time is short and before his life ends
he's got one final mission: Find and destroy Sanctuary, a fabled
haven for those that chose to defy the system. But when Logan meets
and falls in love with Jessica, he begins to question the very
system he swore to protect and soon they're both running for their
lives. When Last Day comes, will you lie down and die... or run!
Bluewater Comics proudly presents a new adaptation of William F.
Nolan's masterpiece of dystopian future: Logan's Run.
" Brock] takes characters and situations into places I would never
have thought of . . ."-Richard Matheson
Jason V Brock is one of the most dynamic young writers of weird and
science fiction, and this first collection of his short fiction
reveals the wide diversity of his talents and the gripping power
and intensity of his conceptions. Among these sixteen stories are
such masterworks as "P.O.V.," a multilayered narrative about a
grisly murder; "The History of a Letter," an ingenious riff on the
iconic figure of H. P. Lovecraft; "Milton's Children," an expansive
novella that hints of unthinkable horrors in the Antarctic; and
"Simulacrum," a scintillating science fiction novella that evokes
the shade of Philip K. Dick. Also included are thirteen of Brock's
evocative poems. With a foreword by William F. Nolan and an
introduction by James Robert Smith.
Jason V Brock has been widely published in magazines, comics, and
anthologies such as "Butcher Knives & Body Counts," "Animal
Magnetism," "Fangoria," the "Weird Fiction Review," S. T. Joshi's
"Black Wings" anthology series, "Like Water for Quarks," and many
others.
William F. Nolan knew the late great Ray Bradbury for more than
sixty years, and during that entire span he has written
perspicaciously about his mentor and friend, beginning with "The
Ray Bradbury Review" (1952) and continuing to the present day. This
volume, published on the occasion of Nolan's 85th birthday, is a
celebration of his lifelong devotion to the master of fantasy and
science fiction. Included are twenty pioneering articles on
Bradbury, along with a sheaf of stories influenced by such works as
"The Illustrated Man" and "The Martian Chronicles," including the
delightful parodies "Mr. B. Goes to Hollywood" and "The Dandelion
Chronicles." With a foreword by Ray Bradbury, an introduction by
Jason V Brock, an afterword by Greg Bear, and tributes to Bradbury
by Brock, S. T. Joshi, and John Tibbetts.
William F. Nolan (b. 1928) is the co-author of "Logan's Run" (1967)
and the author of many other works of fantasy, horror, and science
fiction.
