Odds and Ends: Potboiler Origins: The Walsingham Ghosts and a Mummy on the Titanic

http://www.ciangill2.blogspot.com/2010/05/potboiler-origins-walsingham-ghosts-and.html

Sunday, May 2, 2010. Potboiler Origins: The Walsingham Ghosts and a Mummy on the Titanic. I’ve written before. About the Usborne Supernatural Guides. When I read them now, I’m struck by the lack of verification for each story. Some of them are well-known cases of the paranormal, but many are not. So where did these stories come from? How did the writers decide which ones to include? An invisible bare-footed man follows Dad around in the garden one day. The Walsinghams justifiably abandon the house, and a...

Odds and Ends: Lost Games: Devil's Flight by Gaetano Abbondanza

http://www.ciangill2.blogspot.com/2013/02/lost-games-devils-flight-by-gaetano.html

Thursday, February 21, 2013. Lost Games: Devil's Flight by Gaetano Abbondanza. Is my second-only entry into the reviewing genre of gamebook playthroughs, and the world (or at least the internet) has changed since those heady days of playing through Bodies on the Docks. Back then, I was aware of only one site doing playthroughs of those old Fighting Fantasy books, and that was the excellently-named Fighting Dantasy. Favourites are Turn to 400. As you may remember, I take a slightly different approach to p...

Odds and Ends: Storytrails by Allen Sharp

http://www.ciangill2.blogspot.com/2012/05/storytrails-by-allen-sharp.html

Monday, May 7, 2012. Storytrails by Allen Sharp. Gamebooks are to Fighting Fantasy. What a French arthouse film is to a dumb Hollywood blockbuster: by comparison, they’re weird, hard-to-find, and deeply unmarketable. Let’s examine the differences here. Sold shedloads of books in the 80s by pimping the whole pseudo-Tolkien vibe. ‘YOU get to be the hero,’ their copy yelled at you from the garishly-painted cover- ‘yes, you. The skinny kid with bad skin! Night of the Comet. Returning to your hometown in the ...

Odds and Ends: Vu Quang

http://www.ciangill2.blogspot.com/2013/01/vu-quant-weird-fiction-of-vietnam-war.html

Sunday, January 13, 2013. Richardson ripped a boot off, then a soggy sock, and squeezed it. Warm water splashed on the rock. He leaned back against the wall and closed his eyes. His face was pale and his uniform bright; he was young, on his first tour of duty. 8216;Why are you so jittery? 8217; Richardson brushed a mosquito off his arm. 8216;Why are you irritated by me being alert? Haven’t you seen enough in-country yet to make you jittery? 8217; He spoke slowly, with a slight Southern drawl. They sat in...

Odds and Ends: The Unappreciated: Music from 'The Elder' by Kiss

http://www.ciangill2.blogspot.com/2010/09/unappreciated-music-from-elder-by-kiss.html

Wednesday, September 1, 2010. The Unappreciated: Music from 'The Elder' by Kiss. As a Kiss record I'd give it a zero. As a bad Genesis record, I'd give it a two. Imagine it's the early 80's, and you've just joined KISS, the hardest rockin' band in the world (stop laughing), you're ready to bust heads and take names, and then you find out that Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons want to release. a duff 70's-style. Music From 'The Elder'. Well, imagine what a concept album made by KISS in the early 80's would be...

Cian Gill's Blog: Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds (1978)

http://ciangill.blogspot.com/2013/08/jeff-waynes-war-of-worlds-1978.html

Writing and Reviews from the Age of Imperialism and Adventure! Saturday, August 31, 2013. Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds (1978). Deep breath… and now, an exorcism of sorts. A piece of classic 19. Century science-fiction - and one that probably stands as my favourite – that I’ve steadfastly refused so far to review is H. G. Wells’ War of the Worlds. Or JWMVOTWOTW, as I’m probably not going to be calling it). Which is a 1970s progressive-rock opera retelling of the tale. So the sister, bless her, presumabl...

Cian Gill's Blog: The Future Eve (1886) by August Villiers de L'Isle Adam

http://ciangill.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-future-eve-1886-by-august-villiers.html

Writing and Reviews from the Age of Imperialism and Adventure! Monday, December 24, 2012. The Future Eve (1886) by August Villiers de L'Isle Adam. A word of warning: The Future Eve. Is not a novelette that you’re going to find easily. Not in English anyway; from what I can tell, the only available English translation, apart from some rather academic and expensive-looking journals, is in a strange collection called The Frankenstein Omnibus. I’ll admit upfront that The Future Eve. Not in this book. One of ...

Cian Gill's Blog: Burton & Swinburne in The Curious Case of the Clockwork Man

Writing and Reviews from the Age of Imperialism and Adventure! Saturday, July 19, 2014. Burton and Swinburne in The Curious Case of the Clockwork Man. So – what’s to be done about this whole ‘steampunk’ thing, then? It's got to be pretty crud, right - all that stuff about guys in goggles footling around in wind-up blimps and such, right? But first: some definitions. The debate as to exactly what. Constitutes steampunk has inspired more angry words online than the finale of Lost. Different order. It&#...

Cian Gill's Blog: The Diamond Lens by Fitz-James O'Brien

http://ciangill.blogspot.com/2011/03/diamond-lens-by-fitz-james-obrien.html

Writing and Reviews from the Age of Imperialism and Adventure! Sunday, March 6, 2011. The Diamond Lens by Fitz-James O'Brien. It is my privilege to rescue from obscurity an unfairly-forgotten writer from the annuls of history, and a man from my own county at that- the great Fitz-James O'Brien. Born Michael O'Brien in County Cork, very little seems to be known today about him (I reckon there's a decent English thesis in there somewhere, as the chap definitely deserves a revival). By Maupassant and Predator.

Cian Gill's Blog: The Man Who Would Be King (1975)

http://ciangill.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-man-who-would-be-king-1975.html

Writing and Reviews from the Age of Imperialism and Adventure! Sunday, October 6, 2013. The Man Who Would Be King (1975). I live near Michael Caine. I just wanted to say that. I didn't know just how much I needed to be reminded of why I own a pith helmet. The Man Who Would Be King. Things get off to a fine start with Maurice Jarre's stirring theme, which includes a version of the Irish revolutionary air The Minstrel Boy. Christopher Plummer, his days as a Shakespeare-spouting Klingon in Star Trek V.

Cian Gill's Blog: The Patriot (2000)

http://ciangill.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-patriot-2000.html

Writing and Reviews from the Age of Imperialism and Adventure! Saturday, December 28, 2013. Some bad things get worse the better they're executed- and I think that propaganda is one of them. And I'm sorry to bring up some pretty heavy examples, but Birth Of A Nation. And Triumph Of The Will. Which, while not as reprehensible perhaps as those two movies, is still pretty problematic. Is certainly no Bravehear. Doesn't disappoint in that respect. Cup of Earl Grey? So what's the plot? Representative of their...

Cian Gill's Blog: The Poisoned Island (2013) by Lloyd Shepherd

http://ciangill.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-poisoned-island-by-lloyd-shepherd.html

Writing and Reviews from the Age of Imperialism and Adventure! Tuesday, January 28, 2014. The Poisoned Island (2013) by Lloyd Shepherd. Buoyed by my enjoyment of The Age of Wonder. Their Empire-building may have been ramshackle and occasionally haphazard compared to what came after, but they set the scene for it. So to that extent, I’ve taken an interest in them. I spotted the just-released Poisoned Island. The book touches on quite a few themes that I found interesting. It was enlightening, for exam...

Cian Gill's Blog: King of the Cloud Forests by Michael Morpurgo

http://ciangill.blogspot.com/2011/10/king-of-cloud-forests-by-michael.html

Writing and Reviews from the Age of Imperialism and Adventure! Saturday, October 1, 2011. King of the Cloud Forests by Michael Morpurgo. In empire-set fiction, a classic set-up for European folks living in exotic climes is to have the main characters be missionaries. Missionaries, by their very nature, go out into the wilds, spreading their own brand of Western interference exactly where it’s not wanted. In King of the Cloud Forests. Historical fiction then, and only wanted to read about the future and f...

Writing and Reviews from the Age of Imperialism and Adventure! Monday, December 30, 2013. The Age of Wonder by Richard Holmes (2008). The Age of Wonder. Sat on my to-read pile for over a year. I go in and out of periods of enjoying non-fiction, and it wasn't until this December that a Christmas reading of Treasure Island. The Age of Wonder. Of things that are objectionable about it. Secondly, the white characters almost always ends up being better. For example, then the hero will become a better warrior ...
