Hey! It's time for another episode of Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick! This time, I sit down and talk about making stuff (mostly writing), finding success as we each define it, and staying healthy and sane in the process with horror and "weird" fiction author Anna Ziegelhof! In our wide-ranging and free-wheeling discussion, we touch on the shift from writing as an escape to writing as a vocation, crafting fiction from a thematic germ, employing dream logic in magic realism and weird fiction, asking questions of characters, method writing, "plantsing," storyworlds and story wikis, anxiety vs. productive creativity... and much, much more. The conversation with Anna Ziegelhof was recorded on June 5th, 2023. The rest of this episode was recorded on October 11, 2023. About Anna Ziegelhof Anna Ziegelhof writes horror and science fiction short stories. In either genre, she likes philosophical stories with themes like identity, memory, and belonging. There's usually a spark of hope and whimsy, even in her darker stories. She also writes long-form fiction and has some science fiction novels and novellas in the works. Her short stories can be found in many different online and print publications, like The Horror Library volume 8, Luna Station, Solarpunk Magazine, The Future Fire, Daily Science Fiction, the Flametree Press anthology Footsteps in the Dark, in several horror anthologies, and on the Tales to Terrify and Flash Fiction podcasts. Anna is also an academic with a subject background in Sociology and Jewish Studies. She is a self-declared language-nerd and has been a language instructor, editor, translator, and, most recently, a linguist in the tech industry, working on Voice AI. She is currently on the editorial board of a magazine for academics who write fiction – AcademFic. She is a member of SFWA (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association) and HWA (Horror Writers Association). Originally from Germany, she has lived abroad since 2008, first in England and then since 2015 in the San Francisco Bay Area. When she isn't writing she enjoys reading, traveling, encountering strange places, being in nature, looking at art, as well as singing in a chamber choir. You can find her on Instagram as @anna with a z (all one word) and at www.annaziegelhof.com. Also In This Episode Stick around after the conversation with Anna Ziegelhof for big news about what's coming next for Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick, and my creative endeavors in general! Links and Topics Mentioned in This Episode My day job? I'm a creative services provider helping authors, podcasters and other creators. How can I help you? The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association. The Horror Writers Association. The new wave science fiction movement of the mid-twentieth century. In the episode, I refer to it as "new fiction." Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion, Elric, and Jerry Cornelius. A quick search reveals I'm far from the first person to draw a line from Jerry Cornelius to Austin Powers. The Avengers television series. The abandoned building "backrooms" internet meme. Vantablack, the blackest black that ever did black. I touch on difficulties I had approaching the point of view for Shadow of the Outsider, the follow-up to my novel Light of the Outsider. That flash fiction probably erroneously attributed to Hemingway that's almost a Zen koan. I swear I will try not to mention the damn David Simon quote for a few episodes. Pinky swear. Anna mentions a TED talk from JJ Abrams. I cannot promise this will be the last time Always Coming Home by Ursula K. Le Guin comes up on the podcast. But in my defense, I didn't mention it first! Hugh Howey's Silo storyworld. I talk about a writing exercise on writing bad guys. Are you a writer or author? Want to be a future guest on Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick? Learn more!

KLASSIKER Det er intet mindre end tegneseriens hellige gral som er fokus for dette afsnit om Moebius' ‘Den hermetiske garage', der blev publiceret episodisk fra 1976-1978 i Metal Hurlant. ‘Garagen' er kulminationen på hans ‘masturbatoriske periode' og er en visuel udladning uden sidestykke, der regnes for hans hovedværk og som er uomgængelig hvis man interesserer sig for tegneserier og visuel kultur. Hvad er det der gør, at den fyrre år efter udgivelsen bliver ved med at fascinere og drage læsere? Hvad er det helt særlige Moebius kunne og som stadig inspirerer ti år efter hans død? Hvilken betydning havde ‘Garagen' for Moebius' eget værk? Og hvad er meningen med det hele? Både nye og gamle læsere kan begynde her, men det vil være en fordel at have tegneserien indenfor rækkevide, når Radio Rackham er rejseførere på ekspeditionen. Vi tager tropehjelmen på og bevæger os ned gennem de mange lag på jagt efter Major Grubert, Jerry Cornelius og Moebius/Jean Giraud, i et beruset forsøg på at forstå sammenhængene og finde nøglen til værket. Lyt med når vi kortlægger universet og kigger nærmere på den mytologiske konstellation af elementer, der reflekterer både Girauds westernserie Blueberry og foregriber hans senere værk Inkalen, men frem for alt er en hyldest til en uhæmmet skaberkraft. Vi garanterer, at det vil forårsage en defintiv forandring af virkeligheden!

Randy Fox returns to dive back into the science fiction films of the 1970's. Unfortunately, THE FINAL PROGRAMME (1973) is one of the lesser-known SF movies from the 70's. There are many reasons for that including it being savagely cut for American release and that its cast is devoid of major movie stars. But a more relevant reason it is largely unknown is the type of science fiction tale it tells. Adapted rather faithfully from the first of Michael Moorcock's series of Jerry Cornelius novels it hews closely to the arch tone of the book in ways that might frustrate some viewers. Plot points are not spoon-fed, explanations for odd occurrences are not always made and anyone looking for a solid hero will be left wanting. The motivations for the main character are, by turns, dark or driven by melancholic grief when they aren't just completely inscrutable. Aware that the world is crumbling around him Jerry seems content to chase his psychotic brother Frank but often affects a disinterest in nearly everything else. “Well, for a start, I'm going to sit here and get smashed out of my mind. And I also have it on very good authority that the world is coming to an end. I thought I'd go home and watch it on television.” Randy and I spend the first thirty minutes of the show discussing the book series with a focus on the first, of course. We then (eventually) get into a deep look at the film using a faulty synopsis that causes me to complain about one of the more common errors made when summarizing this movie. We talk about the fine cast, the director's comments about the movie and the difficulty of crafting such a large-scale tale on a small-scale budget. We touch on the locations and the music as well as author Moorcock's choice for sonic accompaniment that was overridden by designer/writer/director Robert Fuest. And we finally wind our way to the mad ending that is the sole false note for Randy. This touches off a spirited discussion of how I would have liked the final scenes to play out to move things closer to the unfilmable ideas in the book. And then I quote star Jon Finch from an old interview about his involvement in the film. We have a pretty good time! If you have any comments on the film or the podcast thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to reach us. Which 1970's science fiction film should we dig into next time? Let us know. And thank you for listening!

After a degree of arm-twisting and one false start, Hussein finally gets his head into a sci-fi/fantasy book and agrees to tell the tale! We cover the first Phase of The Final Programme, the introduction of Jerry Cornelius into the Multiverse of Michael Moorcock. Hussein marvels at the wonders of psychedelic 70s scifi covers and I keep mixing up my Perssons and my Brunners.
http://www.searchforschlock.com/media/podcasts/sfs-140-FinalProgramme.mp3 Download MP3 We here at Schlock Headquarters love the aesthetic of the 70s, obviously. If Seinfeld had aired in the 70s, it couldn't have done the "Puffy Shirt" episode, because people would have been like, "I don't get it, that shirt looks great." But this movie is confusing and weird by even our standards. And we can't even blame it on the filmmakers this time, because it sounds like the book it's based on -- the first in a series! -- is even more bonkers. Clearly this is a movie in dire need of a modern reboot. We're talking franchise potential here people. I mean, a franchise that makes absolutely zero sense, but still. Franchise. Imagine if Austin Powers wasn't funny, and also turned into an ape person at the end. A note about the audio: sorry again. It'll be good in a couple months, I promise. Really.Original post located at searchforschlock.com.
This first part in the Jerry Cornelius saga is literary science-fiction that challenges the politics of its time through transgression. But we find eerie parallels to our current zeitgeist and wonder if Cornelius is the perfect device to question our thoughts about subversion and morality.

Moorcock's Achievement and Promise in the Jerry Cornelius Books Interview with SFWA Grand Master Michael Moorcock The Final Programme by Michael Moorcock How we met: 43. Michael Moorcock and Andrea Dworkin
Michael Moorcock is one of the most influential science fiction and fantasy authors of the latter half of the 20th Century. Chief among his contributions to speculative fiction is the creation of the Eternal Champion, a hero "doomed" to save the world. One such manifestation of the Eternal Champion is Jerry Cornelius, the central character of The Final Programme, a book deemed too psychedelic for publication in 1965 but finally unleashed upon the world in 1968. Jerry gets wrapped up in a wild scheme concocted by sinister computer scientist Miss Brunner to steal documents created by his dead scientist father from the clutches of his drug-maddened brother Frank. What starts as a heist story quickly reveals itself to be something far more bizarre. How do ultra-decadence and flashy modernity mix? Which is more exciting: World Ice Theory or radical gender fluidity? Where does pro wrestling fit into all of this? Is Michael Moorcock a time-traveling wizard? Find out the answers to all this and more in this month's episode of Bad Books for Bad People.

Michael Moorcock interviewé par Jean-Pierre Turmel (Sordide Sentimental) en 1972. Pardon my french ! Printemps 1972 Londres n’est pas encore devenu le Disneyland pour milliardaires ou les Starbucks ont remplacés les pubs et les échoppes de Fish & chips. Bien que l’ère du swinging London soit passé, la contre culture investi tous les champs d’expressions. La presse avec OZ et International Times, la mode avec la boutique Biba et la musique avec les Deviants et surtout Hawkwind, groupe à la fois planant et proto punk de freaks dont émergera Lemmy futur Motorhead. Au centre de ce bouillonnement le quartier bohème de Ladbroke Grove (London W 11) rassemble tous freaks créatifs de la capitale britannique avec pour parrain Michael Moorcock. Le créateur du cycle des ‘’danseurs de la fin des temps’’ est aussi important en Angleterre que Philip K Dick en matière de rénovation de la fantasy et de science fiction. L’auteur invente des univers parallèles comme autant de miroir révélateurs au notre, peuplé de héros décadents à la sexualité ambiguë tel Elric et Jerry Cornelius. Personnage dandyesque et sulfureux, Cornelius serait le fruit de l’improbable rencontre de James Bond et de Ziggy Stardust. En cette année 1972 Moorcock s’active au sein de la revue New Worlds qu’il dirige et ou il permet à des auteurs aujourd ‘hui célébrés comme J.G Ballard de sonder les errements de la société occidentale. New World bien qu’ayant connu de nombreuses difficultés financières est pour la science-fiction spéculative une revue aussi importante que ne le fut les Cahiers du cinéma pour la nouvelle vague en France. New Worlds relie, science Fiction, pop music, arts plastiques et propose des collages punks avant la lettre. Moorcock est aussi un collaborateur d’Hawkwind (qui ont trouvé leur patronyme dans l’œuvre du maître) et leader de son propre projet Michael Moorcock & Deep Six. Les univers de ce natif de Londres touchent tous les domaines et explosent les esprits mieux que le LSD. Ce n’est pas pour rien que Philippe Druillet dévore en ce début des 70’s se plonge dans les mondes moorcockiens, il illustra nombreux de ses romans à l’époque pour les éditions cultes Opta et réalisa un portofolio aujourd’hui très rare autour d’Elric de Menilboné. Toujours avec le flair pour dénicher avant tous les autres francophones les artistes majeurs qui finiront par changer le monde qui nous entoure, dix ans avant tout le monde, Jean-Pierre Turmel interviewe l’écrivain multi-médias au printemps 1972 au 87 Ladbroke Grove. Le futur père de Sordide Sentimental palie sa maîrise fragile de l’anglais par son érudition et son haut potentiel psychique. Originellement prévue pour le N°1 du Fanzine ONESHOT, l’entretien rejoint les archives de Sir Sordide. Trop perfectionniste il ne se sentait pas fier de son travail. Quatre décennies plus tard nous pouvons enfin nous abreuver au fulgurances de Moorcock et de Turmel. La discographie et la bibliographie de Moorcock est toujours aussi forte et en phase avec notre imaginaire, qu’elle ne l’était en 10-972, sinon plus. Sans Moorcock, Alan Moore, Philippe Druillet, Jean-Pierre Dionnet, Jean-Pierre Turmel, l’industrie des comics, le trône de fer et plus généralement la pop culture que nous respirons sans même nous en rendre compte n’aurait pas été la même. La texture de ce que nous prenons pour le réel dépend de telles machines à rêver…. Vous allez accéder à un document rare, attachez vos ceintures !!!
