    Train for Flushing. Just what age are these books aimed at again? I didn’t think potty training age, or is this so old flush toilets are a new thing?

    ‘The ‘Flushing Dutchman’ goes sailing around the bowl. BAWOOSH!!! Oh, no it’s the Maelstrom! Down she goes!!’

    Manly Wade Wellman. Ah, the good old days when men were not afraid to announce their masculinity. Take that “women’s studies” department.

    He’s one of my recent discoveries. His ‘John the Balladeer’, aka ‘Silver John’ stories are amazing. Now I’m trying to track down as many of his ‘John Thunstone’ stories as I can. .

    With all those Johns, I bet he wrote the “Train for Flushing” story.

    Manly Wade Wellman, the Bizarro Dudley Manlove.

    The Sea Prince and the Fire Child originated from a back issue of Weird Tales? Who knew?

    The Complete Thunstone by Haffner Press is expensive but worth it. Also, “Worse Things Waiting” has just been reprinted by Shadowridge Press and is about $20 on Amazon. Finally, “Lonely Vigils”, which has the Thunstone short stories in it, will also be reprinted this year by Shadowridge.

    Then of course there is the hope Night Shade Books will do a softcover reprint of their 5-volume Selected Wellman – although that has now had the eyes picked out of it by the Shadowridge stuff.

    TRAIN FOR FLUSHING: “First thing you MUST learn, son, is to never jiggle the handle unless the toilet won’t stop running. It makes the elder turd ghods really angry. Trust me, you don’t want that.”

    If you use interlibrary loan, Nightshade Press did a magnificent set of the collected Manly Wade Wellman books in hardback a few years ago.

    Someone just re-released the Carcosa Press edition of ‘Worse Things Waiting’ first published 45 years ago, a good grab-bag of his work. It also has the original illustrations by Lee Brown Coye.

    Also there’s a new copy of Wellman’s collection “Battle in the Dawn”, the complete Hok stories out there, again with the original illustrations. They’re basically ‘cavemen fantasy’ stories done for the old Amazing Stories pulp and very well done.

    Thanks for letting me know about the upcoming reprint of “Lonely Vigils’. I missed the Thunstone collection so I’ll be looking for that one.

    And having read “Song of the Slaves”, it would be amusing to show that one to one of the ‘all pulp authors wuz rassist’ types. Probably wouldn’t do any good though. It’s the story of a man back in the slaving days who gets killed by the ghosts of the slaves he murdered as he brought them over from Africa. Wellman himself was born at medical mission in Portuguese West Africa and spoke the local language before he learned English; some of his earliest stories are set in colonial Africa and he did NOT like the Portuguese colonial officials.

    Thanks guys, I will have to look those up!

  • Whatever happened to the Ty-D-Bowl Man anyway?
