Elak of Atlantis: Shows Kuttner in his formative writing years

I also suspect most readers of this blog would really enjoy the stories in the collection, and I urge anyone with even a remote interest in what I'm doing with Planet Stories to give this one a try. But don't take my word for it. Listen to Kuttner himself, from the Elak of Atlantis story "The Spawn of Dagon": From the passage by which Elak had entered the great room a horde of nightmare beings spewed. In their van came Gesti, gray garments flapping, white face immobile as ever. Behind him sheer horror squirmed and leaped and tumbled.

With a shock of loathing Elak remembered the whispering voices he had heard in the underground cavern—and knew, now, what manner of creatures had spoken thus. A race that had not sprung from human or even earthly loins Their faces were hideous staring masks, fish-like in contour, with parrot-like beaks and great staring eyes covered with a filmy glaze.

Their bodies were amorphous things, half solid and half gelatinous ooze, like the iridescent slime of jellyfish; writhing tentacles sprouted irregularly from the ghastly bodies of the things. They were the offspring of no sane universe, and they came in a blasphemous hissing rush across the room. The rapier stabbed out vainly and clattered to the stones as Elak went down.

He struggled futilely for a moment, hearing the harsh, agonized shrieks of the wizard. Cold tentacles were all about him, blinding him in their constricting coils. If pulp fantasy appeals to you at all and I suspect it does , I strongly urge you to order a copy of Elak of Atlantis from Paizo.

Just be a little more careful in how you phrase things. Writing is a learning process, as I was trying to point out, and you like me are in the process of learning. No one is going to say that the Elak stories rise to the level Conan, nor the two Prince Raynor tales, although the latter are more mature than the Elak stories.

I think the comparison is a reasonable one. Sometimes you need to read less successful, contemporary attempts at a particular genre to appreciate a more familiar, successful author in his proper context. Comment by Aonghus Fallon - May 30, pm. The comparison was an interesting one, regardless of where Kuttner was as a writer at the time they asked him to try and fill the void left by the mighty REH. As for filling the void behind REH, who really could have done that?

Karl Edward Wagner. Maybe Moorcock.

Fler böcker av Henry Kuttner

As a fan of both Kuttner and Howard I would agree with the assessment of Elak but not so much Kuttner, who as pointed out by other posters comes into his own later. Elak was exactly what the pulps wanted: a kind of pastiche, which would ultimately pale compared to the source material because a pastiche celebrates the wrong things. But the vital vigor of it was too much for the civilized world. For Howard the decay of stable, settled civilization and the power of wild, energized barbarism was in constant tension. But when the writer actually gets Howard, as john a karr mentions Karl Edward Wagner, then you have something that makes its mark and has a literary legacy.
