Added Plot Synopses and "Valley of the Lost"

[edit]

I just read "Marchers of Valhalla" so added short plot synopses for stories without their own pages.

I moved "The Thunder-Rider" under "Weird West".

I updated the copyright information found in "Marchers of Valhalla" for some stories. Since it's from 1978, the info may be obsolete or "last known data".

Also, there are two listings for a "Valley of the Lost".

-- One entry is under "Other Fantasy". "Valley of the Lost" from the Magazine of Horror #13, Summer 1966, also titled "King of the Forgotten People" with disputed/unknown copyright status. IDK anything about this story.

-- The other is under "Weird West". "Secret of Lost Valley", AKA "The Valley of the Lost" from Startling Mystery Stories #4, Spring 1967. This features the Reynolds-McCrill feud and and ancient lizard-men.

They might be the same story published in two different mags.

the black canaan

[edit]

this is not really important, but isn't the black canaan more horror than fantasy story: it's also very similar with pigeons from hell, so shouldn't this article note it. both had idea took from folk tradition. --80.221.65.93 (talk) 13:22, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merger with List of Poems

[edit]

I'd 'oppose the merger. They were part of this list but a split them out into a separate list due to size. The non-poem list is already near the 100kb "maximum" while the poem list is 145kb and I still haven't finished listing them all. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 13:23, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, merge would be crazy. Removing templates. Rich Farmbrough, 10:44, 1 June 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Table colors

[edit]

This list would look better if the tables were all the same color. RockMagnetist (talk) 21:48, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion to list books

[edit]

Just a suggestion, for someone who is sufficiently expert to do this: it would be very helpful to list the books as well as the titles. For example, a reader is likely to want to know the relationship between, say, the late 1970s Sphere Books non-Conan works, and other editions of Howard's work -- there is a lot of overlap in the published editions, I understand. Clarifying this would be very useful. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 22:08, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Story = Collection ?

[edit]

The link from the title of the story People of Dark links to an article on a collection of the same name (which does include the story). Is this correct? Accepted practice? Just asking. Epigamic (talk) 10:28, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Restless Waters in the Faring Town saga?

[edit]

I don't get it, I need to Sea Curse and From the Deep with a fine comb to make sure if I can't finds telling elements of location and datation, but up to better informed, I was always under the impression that Faring was in Southwest England, possibly Devon, Cornwall, or maybe South Wales or En glish locations along the Bristol Channel. So I'm rather flabbergasted that Restless Waters, which obviously takes place in New England, should be put in the same series. Does somebody know why whoever did that edit placed it in there? I'm very tempted to edit the whole thing to place it as an independent story, but my editing skills are not up to the task
