A Blog Catalogue of S.T. Joshi Works
Tuesday, February 10, 2009
Though it's in a fledgling form, it appears the new blog "Jsohi-Books" intends to provide a comprehensive catalogue of works produced and edited by the famous weird scholar, S.T. Joshi. The blog has already published several brief informational descriptions of Joshi's books, both mass market collections of weird stories by classic authors and his own scholarly works analyzing those writers. By maintaining its current rate, it will likely shape up to be a prime spot for those looking to quickly search the vast library of tomes Joshi has put his sharp mind to.
These types of web productions are very useful and somewhat lacking currently in the weird community. Works by weird writers and scholars that are often rare and sometimes contain even scarcer descriptions of their contents are extremely common. Through projects like these, focused on a specific author, perhaps the web can generate a hub of library-like resources for storing basic information about both commonplace and exotic products of supernatural literature.
