As published in Whispering Dust (Heathen Edition): While researching another Heathen Edition, we happened upon the title of this book — Whispering Dust — and were immediately intrigued. Enough so that we sought out the book and, after reading the first few chapters, found ourselves delightfully charmed by its humor and poeticism. Who was Eldrid…
As published in Within Prison Walls (Heathen Edition): “It’s like Brubaker before Brubaker,” is how we Heathens have described this book to those curious. Surely, if you’re interested in or have read this book before, then you’re aware of the 1980 film Brubaker starring Robert Redford as the eponymous Henry Brubaker, who has just been…
As published in The Story of Canada Blackie (Heathen Edition): Overture? We’ll explain in a moment, but first: what began as a simple, straightforward Heathen Edition slowly turned into a research rabbit hole whose accumulation of details began to paint a more tragic picture the deeper we went. To read Anne P. L. Field’s The…
As published in My Life in Prison (Heathen Edition): This book is without a doubt one of the wildest I’ve ever read. Donald Lowrie’s simple, matter-of-fact delivery of events as they transpired within the walls of San Quentin only amplifies their consistent absurdity and often brutality, and the narrative is full to the brim with…
As published in The Iron Republic (Heathen Edition): We’re in agreement with The Tampa Tribune: this is an “unusually interesting” story—for several reasons. First, its general setup is, in some ways, similar to Edgar Rice Burroughs’ The Land That Time Forgot, which would arrive 16 years after this story, but whereas Burroughs ventures into Antarctic…
As published in Riders of the Purple Sage (Heathen Edition): Every red-blooded 20th-century American boy at some point wanted to be a cowboy. It was an unspoken rite of passage. Somehow someway someone eventually exposed us to a western and when our imaginations seized that moment playtime was never the same. For myself and my…
As published in The Raven with Literary and Historical Commentary (Heathen Edition): This little volume was the first to place Edgar Allan Poe’s greatest poem The Raven (published in 1845) under a microscope and collect, analyze, and report its varied effect on the literary world at large. While others have since labored to the same…
As published in The King in Yellow (Second Heathen Edition) “What is a Heathen Edition? And why are you holding one now?” It’s been five years since I began our first ever Heathenry with those two questions. Five: that’s how old we are today, as I write this. When I asked those two questions to…
As published in The Nine Unknown (Heathen Edition): Talbot Mundy’s The Nine Unknown was first serialized in 1923 in Adventure, a popular and much respected pulp magazine published between 1910–1971, and of which Mundy was a prolific contributor during most of his career. The five-part serial comprised: Part 1: Chapters 1–4 — March 20 (Vol….
As published in My Inventions & Other Essays (Heathen Edition): First and foremost, I want to thank those of you who have been patiently awaiting the publication of this particular Heathen Edition. When we Heathens originally planned a tentative, pre-launch release order of Heathen Editions way back in 2016-ish, this book landed in the #3…
