"All right, Wilson...when did you decide to abandon Art for the Big Bucks you now glory in? Why aren't you more like Harlan?"
I knew I had a picture around here somewhere. I just discovered a photo I took of Joe Lansdale and F. Paul Wilson just before this interview took place. I've added it to the interview download page.

How long ago was the picture taken? Paul looks so cute! IMHO he still is.... 
Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.

Maggers Wrote:I just listened to the interview. Very enjoyable and informative. I particulary enjoyed concentrating on Paul's voice and his unexpected laugh and comparing the ever so slight Jersey vocals to Joe Lansdale's heavy Texas twang. Of course, the content was interesting, too.
Paul, flash forward 15 years to the World Horror Convention in NY last month. The questions from the audience were nearly the same. I bet that happens a lot.
It was also neat to hear Paul talk about Repairman Jack...that he'd just written an RJ short story, that RJ would be a key figure in the as then untitled "Nightworld," and that he wasn't sure if he was going to write another RJ novel! Ha! Now here we are, 7 soon to be 8 RJ books later, all the richer for it.
Very cool. Take a listen if you haven't yet.
I just got Gauntlet 17 from Shocklines because it has "The Wringer". It also has a brief FPDub interview where he says, "I guess I did about a half a dozen short stories featuring Jack. Maybe I'll do a few novels."
Thank "The Ally" FPW didn't stick to that one!!!
Keep em comin!!!

I met deCamp one year prior to this photo, at my first sf convention ever. We conversed in Norwegian, he signed a couple of books, and seemed quite different from many of the other attendees. His autobiograph, TIME & CHANCE is a great book, full of interesting stories.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
