In His House, by Richard Thomas

In His House, by Richard Thomas

“It’s not hard.I just need you to listen.And keep listening.That part is essential.I need you to recite a few strange words the morning sun, or the afternoon doldrums, or the long, ever-expanding night. Wherever you are, whenever you are, whoever you are.In his house, he waits dreaming.”—Richard Thomas, “In His House” Is there a better way to round out the year of reviews than with the big “C”…

[theconstitutionisgayculture]

Do you give recs? I'm looking for some woke-free medias to consume (books particularly, but it can be anything)

It's hard to give recs without knowing your taste, but I'll try. Necessarily, many of these will be older things, so sorry if that bothers you

Books:

The Lost Fleet series by Jack Campbell (sci-fi)

The Nightside series by Simon R Green (urban fantasy/detective noir)

The Deathstalker series by Simon R Green (there are gay side characters in a few of the books, but the books themselves aren't woke. Just good sci-fi/space opera)

Any Conan the Barbarian story written by Robert Howard or Robert Jordan (fantasy)

The Destroyermen series by Taylor Anderson (disclaimer I'm only up to book 4 out of 15 and the last book was published in 2020 so it may have gotten woke or started to suck later on, but right now it's pretty good and pretty pro-American. Alternate history action sci-fi)

The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher (urban fantasy)

Any Dune book by Frank Herbert or Kevin J Anderson and Brian Herbert (sci-fi)

The Temeraire series by Naomi Novik (only read the first three out of nine so same disclaimer as Destroyermen. Alternate history fantasy. Napoleonic Wars with dragons)

The Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell (also the excellent film adaptations of the books with Sean Bean if you can find them. Historical fiction. You follow Richard Sharpe through the ranks of the British army during the Napoleonic Wars)

The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien (the grandfather of modern fantasy)

The collected works of HP Lovecraft (definitely not PC or woke. His cat makes an appearance in one of his stories. Horror)

The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker (horror. Hellraiser was based on this novella. tentative rec because it's good, but there's a lot of mentioned sex and very liberal attitudes towards sex so I don't know if you'd consider that woke or not. The sex obsessed characters are the bad guys though)

Any of the pre-Disney "canon" Star Wars expanded universe books.

Any of the Star Trek books written by William Shatner (they're all a connected series though so read them in order)

If non-woke is your main criteria, I'd suggest giving the Witcher books by Andrzej Sapkowski a try. I personally hated the little bit of the first one I read, and I hate the Witcher series in general, but no one can argue that the Witcher is in any way woke, lol

Codex Alera series by Jim Butcher (fantasy)

Phantoms by Dean Koontz (also recommend the movie with a very young Ben Affleck, but if you rent it on Prime use headphones. Audio is all fucked up through a surround sound system. At least it was when I rented it a few years back. horror)

The Legend of Drizzt series (and the associated sub-series) by RA Salvatore (fantasy. I stopped reading at the Transitions series--books 20-22--because I personally didn't like them and the way they changed the characters and the setting, but YMMV. I'd highly recommend books 1-19 though. Great fantasy series in my favorite D&D setting, the Forgotten Realms)

The Giver by Lois Lowry (young adult book, but has a great message of individuality and anti-government)

Since you wanted books mostly I'll just breeze through movies, shows, comics and games with a few of my favorites:

Movies - Equilibrium, Lord of the Rings, pre-Disney Star Wars, Alien, Aliens, Predator, Predator 2, Hellraiser 1 + 2, Friday the 13th series, Halloween series, The Patriot, In the Mouth of Madness, Sonic the Hedgehog 1 + 2

Shows - Jericho, X-Files, Star Trek (OS, TNG and DS9 especially. Anything nu-Trek is easily skippable), Chernobyl, Avatar The Last Airbender, Lost (it's not confusing if you just pay attention!)

Anime - Fullmetal Alchemist (both series are good but Brotherhood follows the manga more closely), Death Note, Bungo Stray Dogs, Yowamushi Pedal, Ace of Diamond, Yuri on Ice (super gay but funny and heartwarming and not woke beyond the two male leads being stupidly in love with each other even if it's never mentioned explicitly), Street Fighter II V. Honestly most anime isn't woke at all, so just look around for things that seem interesting to you and you're probably good there

Comics - Batman: No Man's Land, Batman: Knightfall, Batman: Bruce Wayne Murderer/Fugitive, Batman: The Killing Joke, any Marvel Masterwork collection, any Dark Horse Alien or Predator or Alien vs Predator comic, Spawn. Special mention: Isom and the Rippaverse. The Rippaverse is a new shared comic universe created by Eric July, self-described anarcho-capitalist and contributor to The Blaze that's specifically designed from the ground up to not be woke and offer a customer first mentality. They promise that the various books they're planning on releasing will focus on story and characters, not politics or social justice crap. So far, only Isom #1 has come out, and I haven't gotten my copy yet, but most people who've read it seem to love it, and that one comic alone has already sold over 43,000 copies and made $3.7 million so early adopting is probably a safe bet.

Games - Metal Gear Solid series, Batman: Arkham series, Halo 1-3, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Greedfall, Dishonored series, Edge of Eternity, Metro series, Mafia 1+2, Elden Ring. Pretty much any game before the mid-2010s is a safe bet for non-woke, so like anime, you should just look at older games you think you might like, or their remasters, and go from there.

So that's my list. It's by no means complete, and there's no real order to the recs, so just look them up and see what, if anything, appeals to you. If you, or anyone else, want more specific recommendations or an opinion on a certain title or series that I mentioned or even ones I didn't, feel free to ask. I'll help if I can. Mostly what I read and watch are sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and things like that. I don't really read typical bestsellers or westerns or comedies. So I might be much help with those genres.

The Nightside Codex, edited by Justin A. Burnett, Silent Motorist Media, 2020. Cover art by Matthew Revert, info: silentmotorist.media.

There’s something fascinating about a book that was never written. It resists, for one, all the imperfections that inherently arise in language, all those insufficiently rendered thoughts and images that famously leave writers exasperated with their own work. Exasperated enough to inspire some, like Kafka, to advocate the wholesale burning of their oeuvre. Sometimes it’s worse. Imagine how many books out there never made it to print thanks to the gap between direct experience and these tiny scratches of ink we’re expected to render it by. A damned shame. One of the benefits of avoiding this insufficiency is that an unwritten book achieves exactly what it’s supposed to. Robert W. Chambers’ two-act play, “The King in Yellow,” drives its reader to madness. There’s no question of its power to do so. What horror writer wouldn’t want a taste of that? Luckily, the actual text is never allowed to interfere with Chambers’ unwritten masterpiece. That’s what makes it so fascinating—the burden of creation is thrown back into our own imaginations, letting us fill in the gaps with our own hidden madness. Barring the invention of some kind of live neuron mapping tech in the world of entertainment (you laugh, but just wait), nothing comes closer to a truly individualized media experience. No wonder writers as diverse and inventive as H.P. Lovecraft, Stanislaw Lem, and Jorge Luis Borges, to name a few better-known examples, are drawn to the unwritten manuscript. But that’s not entirely what this book is about. You’ll find more here than just the (un)written word in the classic sense—there’s musical scores, ancient glyphs, an autograph, and even an eBook. Worse, each extracts a terrible price from its reader. With the exception of Richard Thomas’ “In His House,” these stories aren’t additions to the lore of unwritten staples of horror and weird fiction. They are wholly fabricated media artifacts of each writer’s imagination, horrific in their nonexistence, dark heirs to the great and unreal Sutter Cane. We hope your imagination is a secure place since it’s there where the conjurations are soon to begin. We bid you luck on your descent into The Nightside Codex.

Book #24 of 2020

Deathstalker by Simon R. Green Book #1 of the Deathstalker Series

I thought it was incredible when I read the Codex Alera by Jim Butcher that an author I was already familiar with could switch genres and still make an incredibly well though out and well built world after reading their previous work, but oh wow, that’s an understatement for switching to this sci-fi space opera book! I mean, it has the grittiness I’ve come to love from the Nightside novels, but to build out a universe as rich and as well conceived as he did, is amazing. I immediately fell in love with all of it and since its something I have been interested in for a couple years, I couldn’t be more pleased hopping into a new series.

The book begins with an introduction of its main characters, a ragtag group of outcasts and outlaws who decide that in order to survive the wrath of Empress Lionstone, they must now form a rebellion to fight for the downtrodden, oppressed peoples of the universe. Owen Deathstalker is especially finding this new situation hard because we first meet him as the titled ‘Lord Deathstalker; whose mistress and servants suddenly turn on him when its announced he has been outlawed. He manages to barely escape thanks to his AI Oz and Hazel d’Ark, an outlaw herself and clonelegger (someone who harvests humans to create cloned organs and limbs for sale) whose ship is destroyed by an Imperialist battlecruiser coming into orbit to collect the Deathstalker. They escape on Owen’s impressively outfitted ‘yacht’ of a starcruiser and go off to the planet of Outlaws called Mistworld. There they collect several new friends to their cause. The first is a Hadenman (a cyborg race that the Empire created by experimenting on humans) named Tobias Moon, a legendary rebellion leader named Jack Ransom, and a bounty hunter friend of Hazel’s named Ruby Journey. They escape several attacks from other bounty hunters and began a plan to start this rebellion by capturing a weapon of ultimate destruction called the Darkvoid Device and ressurrecting the rest of the Hadenmen.

Meanwhile, we get introduced to the other players in this galaxy, with a focus on three primary foils to our ragtag heroes. There’s the Imperials, headed by Empress Lionstone, to me a darker and crueler version of Azula from ATLA, who not only runs this cruel empire, but manages to not trust a single person close to her, including her lover/advisor Dram. Turns out dram is more than just his nickname ‘The Widowmaker” though as he not only turns the Underworld apart, but also is revealed to be a clone of the original Deathstalker’s son. Then again is Giles can stay in stasis for 900 years, who is to a say a clone of his son can’t either. From their position in power, we get to see several gruesome depictions of the Empire’s cruel and strict rule, but we also get a glimpse into the court of royal families and soon get pulled into the politics of three of them. The first being the Campbells who while seemingly upstanding, get destroyed by the Wolfs who completely mob style murder and steal all their assets. Finlay Campbell, the only surviving member, flees to the underground thanks to his star crossed loved Evangeline Shreck who confesses that she is a clone of her father’s original daughter because the original daughter dies. Not only does this distressing news freak Finlay out, but he also now has to come to terms as an outlaw himself, hiding away in the Underground where the Espers (Genetically enhanced humans who have physiological powers), clones, and cyber hackers are gathering to turn the tides against the Empire. Learning what these people have gone through to survive and why they are fighting the Empire, makes Finaly realize things weren’t that great in the Empire as he thought and is going to make him an interesting character to follow.

Ending the tale, Owen and company land on the planet of the Wolflings where the Hadenmen and Darkvoid Device rest. And after survive and alien maze with the ability to look inside all of them, they all discover that this device is not a weapon, but a baby with the ability to kill life on several planet at once. More shockingly it was created by Giles Deathstalker who having returned out of stasis, joined Owen and team to not only help them rebel, but find purpose in why they are rebelling. The tale ends with a thrilling clash against the Imperials, led by Captain Silence and Investigator Frost, but it makes for a wild read start to finish.

The other fun part is the crossover with some of the character traits and or names with people I know from the Nightside. Like the Campbells Investigator ‘Razor’ a quiet, but cold blooded killer is obviously a link to Razor Eddy. And I think Kid Death is a name I’ve definitely scene in John Taylor’s world as well as this great epic. It will be fun to see where this goes and it is a welcome change for the Nightside.

Overall Rating: 10/10

Take A Look It's In A Book

I was talking to one of my favorite friends on here (yes, you’re one of my favorites too, but right now I’m talking about this friend) and decided I should write up a list of some of my favorite works or authors of fiction besides the obvious choices like Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Larry Niven, Ursula K. LeGuin, and so on.

Nota Bene: The absence of a content warning does not indicate the absence of problematic content, read at your own risk.

Brandon Sanderson: Anything of his is beautifully written and has massive amounts of internal consistency. General genre is fantasy, with science fictional elements. I’d recommend starting with Mistborn. (DtDD)

Iain M. Banks: Massively detailed, well-written cast of distinct characters. Gets a little heavy with the trope of a science-fictional future society being full of sexual libertines, but not so much that I turn away. On the upside, The Culture also features nearly unlimited painless body modification. CWs: sexual assault, extreme violence. No DtDD page that I know of.

N. K. Jemisin: One of the best authors I have read in the last 15 years. Painfully realistic depictions of life and society in the fantasy worlds she creates. Recommend starting with The Broken Earth. CWs: Oh my gods. An excruciatingly rendered depiction of a population being intentionally and cruelly subjugated for thousands of years due to a genetic difference. Physical and emotional abuse, including of minors. Sexual assault. (DtDD)

Robert Jordan: Good writing ... mostly. He tended to get hung up on certain tropes and beat them into the ground, but the story itself usually makes up for it. Recommend starting with The Wall of Text. CWs: sexual assault, other violations of agency, one scene of spanking without explicit consent.

Jean Johnson: I’ve only read her Theirs Not To Reason Why series, but it’s one of my repeat reads. A fascinating story of someone who can see all of time, including an invasion by all-consuming monstrosities (like the Borg or Tyranids) 400 years in the future. The story details all the things this person does to minimize the damage from that invasion and save as many sentients as possible. I can’t recall any content that I thought was particularly problematic, but that doesn’t mean ‘tain’t there.

David Weber: I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read by him, but the first thing I discovered was his Honor Harrington series. It’s basically Horatio Hornblower IN SPACE. All of his other works are just as fun to read. CWs: sexual assault, violence against animals, oppression of women.

Daniel José Older: I’ve only read one of his books so far, Shadowshaper, but good gods what a fun novel. The premise is that a young lady discovers that she can perform magic with her artwork, a talent she inherited from her grandfather. Set in modern-day New York City.

Stephen Baxter: Some of the hardest science fiction I’ve read, which makes sense, considering his degrees in math and engineering. His Xeelee Sequence spans all of time and space, with a great number of very distinct species represented. Contains at least violence and humanity being enslaved at some point.

Jim Butcher: Everybody knows The Dresden Files, that delightfully gritty, noiry detective epic about Harry Dresden, Professional Wizard. His Codex Alera is also quite fun, ostensibly a combination of two bad ideas: Legio IX Hispana and pokemon. He pulls it off quite nicely.

Simon R. Green: Take The Dresden Files and have H. P. Lovecraft and August Derleth rewrite them. Darker, grittier, edgier, basically Dresden Files in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. That is the Nightside. Contains a shitload of violence, definitely mentions necrophilia, sexual assault is mentioned repeatedly but not in excruciating detail. It’s also not played for laughs.
