The Dire Planet virtual book tour continues with stop number four--the virtual home of author Joshua Reynolds musings and mutterings.
In what is an utterly awesome posting, Josh treats us to a history of fiction on Mars--with a cornucopia of links for anyone who wants to explore further. Ever hear of the 1898 book Inhabitants of Mars about mummies on Mars? Me neither. But Josh has not only heard of it, he's got a link to a website where you can buy the English version, which has been translated from the original French.
Ever hear of the 1908 The Vampires of Mars by Gustave LaRouge? Neither had I--until I read Josh Reynold's blog. And once again, Josh includes a link to a publisher and a cover illustration of a host of hungry vampiresses.
This is the tip of the iceberg. If you have any interest in Martian fiction, planetary fiction, or sword and science fiction check out Josh Reynolds latest blog.
