#michaelmoorcock — Public Fediverse posts

Michael Moorcock returns across two mediums this October. Titan Comics revisits the Tragic Millennium with Hawkmoon, while Hawkwind veterans adapt An Alien Heat into space rock. The Multiverse remains as strange and vital as ever. #MichaelMoorcock https://www.geeknative.com/242798/michael-moorcock-multimedia-resurgence-pairs-post-apocalyptic-europe-with-1970s-space-rock/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-GNBlogWave1

I had the good fortune of working on Elric early in my career. The books written by Michael Moorcock have proven to be enduring classics in fantasy. 1/4

Today’s #ThursdayFiveList theme is music from the #FantasyWorld.

When it comes to fantasy, nothing is more fitting than heavy metal, right? And as a bit of a #MichaelMoorcock fan, I decided to limit myself to songs inspired by his stories

»Epic Pooh« (1978) von #MichaelMoorcock ist ein crazy vergnüglicher Klassiker der deftigen Anti-Tolkien-Polemik.

Aber Dank Leseprobe nehme ich nun die Widmung von Moorcocks »The Woods of Arcady« (2023) zur Kenntnis, dem Mittelteil seiner »Sancuary of the White Friars«-Fantasy-Trio, einer Mischung aus Autobiographie und Eternal-Champion-Saga (möglicherwiese sein Abschiedswerk):

»For Peake and Tolkien, respected predecessors«.

>> Wie ich Comics lese, bzw. meinen #Inhaltsverzeichniswahn pflege. Hier meine Übersichten zu #TomStrong Compendium 1 & 2 von #AlanMoore & #ChrisSpouse und vielen gleichgesinnten Mitkreativen. Gute-Laune-Abenteuer-Phantastik für die ganze Familie, u.a. mit Gastautoren wie #MichaelMoorcock, Ed Brubaker, Steve Moore, Paul Hogan und Leah Moore; und Gast-Künstlern wie Sergio Aragones, Peter Kupper, Michael Kaluta, Shawn McManus und und und.

Bisher keine deutsche Übersetzung. Mööp. Stünde bereit!!!

Schöne Elric-Homage.
Ich finde ja inzwischen diesen Tragic Drama Queen-Aspekt wieder putzig, nachdem ich ca 30 Jahre von meiner eigenen Teen-Bubi-Begeisterung für diesen Ewigen Helden von #MichaelMoorcock peinlich beschämt genervt war.

I've been doing a big Elric reread on my shiny new Kobo and I genuinely enjoy how Michael Moorcock uses "Fate" as an in-universe term for "How I (the writer) am about to completely fuck up these character's lives for entertainment".

Wahou !

J'ai découvert par hazard hier, en vitrine d'un magasin de BD, qu'il y a maintenant une série de bandes dessinées basées sur Les Livres de Corum écrits par Michael Moorcock.

Les avez-vous lus ? Des retours à partager ?

Just finished (re-)reading The History of the #Runestaff by #MichaelMoorcock

I love his 1960s British pop-culture references, but I don't get all of them:

• Jhone, Jhorg, Phowl, Rhunga are the #Beatles
• Chirshil is #Churchill
• Bjrin Adass — #BrianAdliss ? Why is he the Singing God?
• Jeajee Blad — #JGBallard
• Jh'Im Slas — Jim ??
• Aral Vilsn — #HaroldWilson

Wilson is father of Squeeze(?) and Balance of Credit. I need to look up the specific events of c.1968 to see what he's referring to.

Triple threat match for the Elric ruleset belt. Free League announces Legends of Stormbringer for 2027, Dragonbane-powered, six days after Goodman Games DCC and 5e Elric licence. Just like US foreign policy, 5e isn't necessarily needed but gets everywhere.

New #review today: "British science fiction / fantasy author #MichaelMoorcock had a close musical partnership with #Hawkwind in the 70s and 80s. Moorcock contributed his work to Hawkwind’s Warrior on the Edge of Time and Space Ritual Tour. In 1975, Moorcock and the Deep Fix recorded The New World’s Fair, a surreal psychedelic ride through decaying fairgrounds, fading utopias, and electric guitars tuned to chaos." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock #SpaceRock #ProgressiveRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/michael-moorcock-the-deep-fix-50th-anniversary-edition-the-new-worlds-fair-6.html

‘The Albino’s Secret’ Explodes With Style and Action

The Albino’s Secret (2025) by Michael Moorcock and Mark Hodder is a thrilling and exotic adventure. Moorcock and Hodder work together to create a story that enlivens the reader’s imagination from the first pages. The Albino’s Secret delivers excitement on many different levels and in many different ways. It is a novel that deserves to be high on everyone’s reading list.

Istanbul, 1933. President Kemal has embarked on a program of modernisation for the newly formed Republic of Türkiye. However, other eyes are looking at Türkiye. Adolf Hitler has become Chancellor of Germany and Europe is preparing for war. A war England and France hope Türkiye will become their ally.

Sir Seaton Begg and Dr. Taffy Sinclair of the British Temporal Service arrive in Istanbul to investigate a series of assinations. These assinations are attributed to the Red King Gang but are seemingly random. Yet they are only the tip of the iceberg. Begg and Sinclair come face to face with their nemesis Monsieur Zenith.

The appearance of Zenith changes Begg and Sinclair’s investigation completely. If Zenith is in Istanbul then some assinations are the least of their worries. Unless Begg can determine Zenith’s plot not only is the world at risk but the entire multiverse.

Monsieur Zenith is the creation of Anthony Skene as the antagonist of many of his Sexton Blake stories. As an avid fan of the Sexton Blake stories Moorcock used M. Zenith as the inspiration for Elric of Meliniboné. Later, Moorcock goes further as to incorporate M. Zenith wholesale into his own creations. The Albino’s Secret is just the latest story to do so.

Hodder is also a fan of the Sexton Blake stories and maintains a Sexton Blake website, Blakiana. The love Moorcock and Hodder have for these stories makes their collaboration a perfect match. And The Albino’s Secret is all the better for it.

From the first moments of the story the reader is drawn into a world of deep mysteries. There are plots and intrigues a plenty and just when one mystery seems clear it only reveals something darker and deeper. Moorcock and Hodder take great delight in keeping the reader off-balance and interested.

The setting of The Albino’s Serect is perfect. Istanbul is a city of deep history and gives any story set in it certain gravitas. By using both real world history and persons Moorcock and Hodder give their characters a deep feeling of reality. The world of The Albino’s Secret is as exotic and enticing as any fantasy or SF creation. In fact, it feels more exotic at times since it is real.

The characters of The Albino’s Secret are extremely well developed and life like. However, Begg and Sinclair are not just clones of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Begg and Sinclair take their influences and apply it in a completely different direction. The same is true of every other character. And while Begg and Sinclair are the main protagonists of the story it is M. Zenith that offers the most tantalizing storyline.

Moorcock, famous for his Eternal Champion, links Zenith to that creation with style. For people who know the Eternal Champion sequence there is plenty to sink their teeth into. Those fans will nod and smile as the story unfolds and the references are made. However, for those unfamiliar with the Eternal Champion there is nothing to confuse them and The Albino’s Secret makes a perfect introduction.

The plot of The Albino’s Secret twists and turns. Sometimes it doubles back and crosses over. Regardless whatever complications are introduced the reader is never lost. Also, no plotline is without intent. Even if those intents are not clear at times.

Reading a story written by two authors can be a jarring experience at times. However, this does not happen with The Albino’s Secret. Moorcock and Hodder write with one voice and it is clear and smooth. Whatever their process is it works beautifully and seemlessly.

The Albino’s Secret owes much to detective stories of the pulp era, however, doesn’t emulate them. The story is neither homage nor pastiche. Instead it uses pulpish techniques in a modern way. With clear writing with minimal extravagence it tells a great and exciting story.

The Albino’s Secret is a story that will appeal to a great many readers. There is an undeniable amount of genre mixing. For fans of fantasy, SF, and detective stories The Albino’s Secret should be high on your list. For people unfamilar with Moorcock or Hodder it is a great introduction. The Albino’s Secret will capture the imagination of almost anyone.

Für Genossenschaftsgenosse sein reichts nicht, aber seit Wechsel der Papier-@tazgetroete von Tageszeitungs-Taz zu #WochenTaz, versuche ich dieser beim Kiosk treu zu sein: Diesmal hats ein Interview (!) mit #MichaelMoorcock anlässlich der deutschen Ausgabe von »Mutter London« (Mother London 1988; Deutsch von #HannesRiffel bei #CarcosaVerlag 2025).
Merci Julian Weber und dem Taz-Team!

Dieses Lesezeichen bevorzuge ich übrigens bei der Moorcock-Lektüre, weil dieser Anarchist und Arbeiterschichtssprössling ständig so fasziniert von Adelsgedöns und Großbürgertum ist, der Lauser! Der Düsenlarry! 😠

#MichaelMoorcock #Fantasy

Schon cool, wie antikolonial #MichaelMoorcock seine "schnellen Fantasyromane" (Ch. Platt) Anfang der 1970er-Jahre angelegt hat:

"[E]ine Macht ohne Moral - eine Kraft ohne Gerechtigkeit; das waren die Barone von Granbretanien, die das Banner ihres Reichskönigs Huon durch Europa trugen und diesen Kontinent an sich rissen, es weiterschleppten, nach Westen und Osten, zu anderen Kontinenten, die sich für sich beanspruchten."

(Rächer des Dunklen Imperiums, 1973/dt. 1978, Vorwort Seite 8)

The ancient symbol of Chaos is not represented in Unicode and that makes me mad.

Yes, for the symbol of Law We have ↑, but there is no symbol in which eight arrows all point from a common origin, each at one of the cardinal or intercardinal compass directions.

The best we have is ☸ but it's not made of arrows, is too circley, and is already taken by some stupid supposedly """ancient""" religion.

BAH/Humbug!
