TALES OF THE SHADOWMEN ~ FEMMES FATALES!

TALES OF THE SHADOWMEN ~ FEMMES FATALES!


A VERY COOL COVER FOR THE UPCOMING ANNUAL VOLUME OF THE SHADOWMEN COURTESY OF WIN SCOTT ECKERT . . . AVAILABLE LATE 2010 . . .


Tales of the Shadowmen is an annual anthology of short stories edited by Jean-Marc and Randy Lofficier. The stories take place in a fictional world where all of the characters and events from adventure literature, and in particular French adventure literature, actually exist in the same universe.


The title and concept of Tales of the Shadowmen were inspired by science fiction writer Philip José Farmer's works centering around the Wold Newton family. The concept first emerged in Jean-Marc's non-fiction works, French Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror & Pulp Fiction: A Guide To Cinema, Television, Radio, Animation, Comic Books And Literature From The Middle Ages To The Present (2000) and Shadowmen: Heroes And Villains Of French Pulp Fiction (2003), which reviewed characters from French popular literature, the latter blending bibliographical information and speculative fiction.
