Larry. Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Elysium is a damn fine debut. Much better-written than some of the more lauded debuts/series openers from the past couple of years (thinking of Hurley and Leckie in particular, but there are others).

AncalagonTheBlack Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 World Fantasy award drops HP Lovecraft as prize imageThe World Fantasy award trophy will no longer be modelled on HP Lovecraft, it has been announced, following a campaign last year that called the author out as an “avowed racist” with “hideous opinions”.The change was revealed at the World Fantasy Convention on Sunday, where David Mitchell took the top award, the best novel prize, for The Bone Clocks. S.T. Joshi returns his World Fantasy Awards in protest H.P. Lovecraft bust being replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Selig Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 S.T. Joshi returns his World Fantasy Awards in protest H.P. Lovecraft bust being replaced.Joshi's extreme fanboyism is quite hilarious. Throwing a tantrum like the typical 15 year redditor and blaming it on the SJWs is very childish of him.

Darke Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I find it to be refreshing that he followed through on his convictions. Ever since the initial engagement on this topic last year, he has written quite compellingly on why it is a mistake to remove Lovecraft's image from the award. You can read those essays on his blog. I'm definitely looking forward to this spiraling out of control soon. What's next? Renaming the Hugo (as Gernsback was apparently a scumbag)? Renaming the Bram Stoker, Campbell, and Jackson awards? All of those authors held quite outdated views by today's standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Selig Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 His convictions as in "Nobody dares touch my favourite, I am his official number 1 fanboy and will defend him to the death?" Somehow I doubt he'd have given a damn if Lovecraft wasn't involved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I've never understood WHY it was Lovecraft. For a horror award sure, but fantasy>? Eh, whatever. Dude was an Olympic level racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
