Recent Arrivals from the Fan Press... The Scientifictionist, jan, 10c, from Henry Elsner, Jr., 13618 Cedar Grove, Detroit 5, Mich. Contains an interesting article by Joe Kennedy on 'Utopias Made to Order', and other informative material worth the price. Recommended. Treading in the Dust, 3/10c, from Raj Rehm. Unusual art and decorations but the material is rather frothy. Newsies received: Stfnews #76, Fanews #300-301, PFSF Bulletin, Fantasy Times #34. Ember recommends that, if it's just news you want, get one or all of the these and you don't be disappointed. Ember is not particularly interested in purveying news as such, but rather your reactions and views on the peg that news affords. Arkham House Bulletin, Jan., from Sauk City, Wisc. contains typical Derleth summaries of AH plans and troubles. ------------ Don Bratton says: "By the way, I rediscovered the book on panoptical vision; it's Eyeless Sight, by Jules Remains (Louis Farigoule), originally written in French, but there exists an English translation by Charles Kay Ogden. -------------------- Since Ember's inception there has been no greater reaction of you Embereaders to anything so far printed than Derleth's criticism of the Kennedy poll. Space, this issue, is not elastic enuf to squeeze the rebuttal in, but next ish will feature all your replies. ------------------ Redd Boggs writes a hurry-up defense of the fair Tigrina: "Chivalry promist me to take exception to Derleth's remarks about Emberviewer Tigrina and her opinion of "The Clock Strikes Twelve." The fact that some of the stories that she regards as second-rate were included in The Night Side and The Sleeping and the Dead merely proves that tastes differ, and that anthologist Derleth-Grendon, who chose the tales for both books, hasn't changed his opinions regarding them. I note that Sam Moskowitz pans "The Doll and One Other" in the Fall Fantasy Commentator', but that 'The Doll ---' will be in one of the anthologies. Does that prove that, like the Lo-Tsen of Shangri-LA, Sam isn't 'sufficiently in the know' to make a good reviewer?" -------------------- The Pocket Book of Robert Frost's Poems, now out, contains two top-notch fantasy poems: "The Witch of Coos" and "Ghost House" -- Boggs.
