Dream Factories and Radio Pictures

Overview

In this collection, Howard brings to life the kind of historical trivia nobody else can imagine. Oh sure, you can laud his insights into the technical and social development of our dream factories and radio pictures. But what will blow you away are his wacky ideas--the way he brings together things that you'd never imagined on the same bookshelf, much less the same page of the same story. And yet, once he lays them out, you wonder why no one else thought to see it that way--his quirkiness exposes the romance of it all better than any cinéma vérité ever could.

Bio of Howard Waldrop

What can be said about Howard? Lies, damned lies, and statistics (heck, he doesn't have Internet access, so how's he gonna know what we say about him?). Howard's a fascinating guy, an erudite hermit who lived in the nearby wilds of northern Washington when we made his acquaintance (he wrote on a manual typewriter, for God's sake!), but has since moved back to Texas. An avid flyfisherman, he subsists on the trout he catches after throwing the day's first fish back and on his income from markets that meet his high ethical standards--which is to say he's precariously close to starvation. Howard's fiction has won the World Fantasy Award and the Nebula and been nominated for the Hugo multiple times.
