My stuff

[james ambuehl]

Neil Riebe asked abiut my stuff (thanks, Neil, for the opportunity to
plug!) . . .

Well, I've been pretty lucky in having nearly everything I've written
(80-90 stories, probably a like number of poems, and sveral articles
too) published somewhere, with various stories in the magazines:
ETCHINGS AND ODYSSEYS; ARKHAM SAMPLER (not the Arkham House one); CRYPT
OF CTHULHU; ELDRITCH TALES; ELDER SIGNS; BOOK OF DARK WISDOM; CTHULHU
CULTUS; CTHULHU CODEX; MIDNIGHT SHAMBLER; WORLDS OF H. P. LOVECRAFT;
MYTHOS TALES AND OTHERS; IMELOD; THE ANCIENT TRACK; AL AZIF; LOVECRAFT'S
DISCIPLES (forthcoming) and probably a few others as well.

And in the anthologies: LOST WORLDS OF SPACE AND TIME (VOL. 1); DER
CTHULHU-MYTHOS (German); LIN CARTER'S ANTON ZARNAK, SUPERNATURAL SLEUTH;
ITHAQUA CYCLE; TSATHOGGUA CYCLE; YIG CYCLE (forthcoming); TATTERS OF THE
KING (forthcoming); ELDRITCH BLUE; THE CHARNEL FEAST (forthcoming)

I'm also editing, and in HARDBOILED CTHULHU, of course, and a few other
anthologies I'm editing are THE DAGON CYCLE and NODENS AND THE ELDER
GODS for Chaosium, with Bob Price, and I've got a few other solo-edited
ones in the works, including SHOGGOTHS!

Lots of my stuff is available online too, easily found with a Google
search under my name, including a Godzillian collaboratory story called
"Notebook Found in a Deserted Pagoda" (I came up with the TOHONOMICON
quotes; Andrew Gable had the BOOK OF DAEIBON stuff, then I wrote the
framing story and Ron Shiflet put it online for us!

There's also going to be Cthulhu's Creatures from Rainfall Books. They'll
also be publishing Strange Stories which I know will be having some if not
all Mythos material. My story, "Seven Serpents Waiting" is scheduled for
issue #1.

Steve Lines said that Lost Worlds of Space and Time 2 was going to the
printers this month. Maybe we'll see this one before Christmas.

Nicely done, Jim!

I'm afraid that my own output is limited to a couple of stories and
the forthcoming COLOUR OUT OF DARKNESS and a piece with Mark Rainey in
THE CTHULHUIAN SINGULARITY, and my next book BREAKING THE LINES...


Cheers,

John

I just dug this list up of most of my stuff, the list hails from 1999,
and I did run through a big dry-spell after that, but I'd say I've got
another dozen tales to add since this one (I added about half of them in
though) -- but here it is anyway, in case anyone is interested (all
pretty much Cthulhu Mythos -- even non-Mythos tales I write eventually
get turned into Mythos ones!):

to show that I definitely enjoy creating my own]

Thanks, John! What's BREAKING THE LINES, now you've got us curious with
the mention?

Are going to have a story in HP Lovecraft's Magazine of Horror? You gotta
get at least one tale in there. Looking over your list of accomplishments I
don't think that magazine will be complete until you make an appearance.

This is really super. I suspected you were prolific. Way to kick ass!

Jim was one of the people who encouraged me early on and I suspect he's done
the same for many other writers. His best stuff is superb and none of it is
bad. The only complaint I would have about his writing is that some of the
stories would benefit from being fleshed out more. He's a very good writer
and I consider him a good friend. There's also no one nicer that you're
likely to run into on this group or any other for that matter.

His knowledge of the Mythos is encyclopedic. There may be others but only
Paul Berglund comes to mind as being as knowledgeable of the history of the
Mythos and the varied material out there. I suspect there are others
writing today who owe much to him.

Me: Yep, that is my biggest weakness. I like to get to the "meat" of
the Mythos, usually right away, and have trouble building up to it
slowly. It makes some of my stuff seem almost satirical, perhaps, and
I'm definitely not without my Mythos sense of humor, but I just can't
write pages and pages of story build-up without throwing in some
Lovecraftian hints or buzz-words -- I could NEVER write a mainstream
book! ;-)

I also don't write at great length. I'm putting together a manuscript
for a new collection of my stuff right now, and I was surprised to see
most of my tales for it falling between the 2,000 and 4,000 (and a
couple 6,000) word mark!

And as for my encyclopedic Cthulhoid knowledge, yep . . . some people
would even say I'm full of it! ;-)
