FPW in a lot of anthology books (Question to FPW) - Kenji - 01-09-2005

I found out this site.

http://homepage1.nifty.com/ta/sfw/wilsonfp.htm



This is FPW's books list in Japan. Still, I'm searching for FPW's short stories, but his short stories were published in anthology books. So those stories are hard to find....

Slasher
Face
Dreams
To fill the sea and air

Those stories are included in Barrens and Others? Do you have plan to publish it in Japan?

"Slasher" and "Faces" are in The Barrens & Others. "...Sea and Air" is in Soft & Others, "Dreams" hasn't been collected yet -- it will be in Aftershock & Others -- but was in The Ultimate Frankenstein which was published in Japan.

Collections don't sell well, as a rule. My publisher does mine as a favor. Neither of us makes any $$ worth mentioning.

Thank you for the answers.

The Ultimate Frankenstein is out of print. Sad So that's why I'm searching for it in used books stores. My searching for books will continue............*sigh*

That's too bad. I really enjoy the short story collections. They're a lot easier to get a hold of than all the various places the original stories were published.

I have to say that I, too, love the short story anthologies. I'd hate to see them disappear. In fact, THE BARRENS AND OTHERS, is one of my favs of all time.

I have to agree. SOFT AND OTHERS is one of my favorite collections ever. Short stories are perfect for those times when I need something to read but don't feel like tackling a novel or am restricted by time.

Keep 'em coming, Paul!

Keep the collections, yes. Those of us on the old forum were lucky enough to have access to Aftershock at one time, and I have been ever grateful. I would never have gotten an original publication, nor would any of us. I'm so glad it will be the feature of your next collection so the world can see it. I found it one of the best stories I have ever read.

In fact, as soon as I read it, I told my wife: "Read this. This is why I haven't been able to get published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction yet. Look at the level of competition I'm up against!" I loved this story so much, it depressed me for awhile how good it was.

I realize it wasn't in F&SF, so that reference is merely about one of my life goals. They just passed on another one of my stories this week (got it in the mail today). But I will keep trying!
