The Three Musketeers of Weird Tales



REH and Weird Tales

These look great! I'm very glad they're getting uploaded.

I hope we will also get to see the “Sword-and-Sorcery Revival” panel with Brian Murphy and others.

The “Three Musketeers” panel was fantastic. I’m particularly interested in the topic that was brought up right at the end about pseudo-archaeology and its influence on Howard, Lovecraft, and Smith. It wasn’t until I thought about that brief discussion that I realized it’s exactly what draws me to all three authors. I’ve always been fascinated by ruins and archaeology and deep history (and have three degrees in anthropology to show for it), and I love to read weird stories infused with those topics.

Does Jeff Shanks visit these forums? I’d love it if he (or anyone really) could point me in a direction where I can read more!

I don't know if anyone was filming that, since it was an "unofficial" panel held at the pavilion, not part of the normal programming track.

Brian says it was filmed. I’m still hopeful.

Apart from Brian's 15 minute presentation in the Glen Lord Symposium vid (from 17.15) the closest we seem to have at present is a recent podcast with Jason Waltz of Rogue Blades. You may already be aware of this but just in case:

In addition to Howard Days recaps we also talked about the ongoing sword-and-sorcery revival. Jason Waltz and I served on the S&S panel organized by Deuce Richardson at 2023 Howard Days, while Jason Ray Carney was one of our avid front-row listeners. We get into some of the same territory here on the podcast, covering recent S&S history as well as current venues, authors, and trends. Good stuff.

Hopefully the Howard Days vid will be up soon.

For anyone curious, I was asked to provide a Howard Days 2023 convention report for Dead Reckonings #33, which is up for order: www.hippocampuspress.com/journals/dead-reckonings/dead-reckonings-no.-33
