OUT OF PRINT. Unsigned 2nd printing. An outstanding and unique collection from an outstanding and unique talent. Philip Jose Farmer, three time Hugo winner and Nebula Grand Master in 2001, has written exciting and provocative fiction since his debut, the ground breaking "The Lovers," stunned the SF community in 1952. Pearls from Peoria assembles over sixty previously uncollected pieces of fiction, nonfiction, poetry and autobiography that demonstrate the extraordinary range and vitality of Philip Jose Farmer's imagination. Many of the pieces appear here for the first time anywhere, while others have previously appeared only in small run magazines that have remained elusive and avidly sought after by Farmer aficionados. These tales and articles provide the reader with a grand tour of the literary pocket universes that make up Philip Jose Farmer's private cosmos. The range is vast, from horror to pulp heroes, and autobiography with pieces on Tarzan and Edgar Rice Burroughs, Doc Savage and Sir Richard Burton, Riverworld and Oz, Sherlock Holmes and Ralph von Wau Wau.

Amassed by Mike Croteau, who runs the official Philip Jose Farmer Web site, and edited by Paul Spiteri, who provides brief introductions for each piece.

Farmer, Philip Jose & Win Scott Eckert THE EVIL IN PEMBERLEY HOUSE
USA Subterranean Press 2009 1596062495 / 9781596062498 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fine
216pp. For over thirty years, readers have marveled at Philip José Farmers inventive integration of popular fiction and literatures most beloved characters, in a mythical web known as the Wold Newton Family. First described in the fictional biographies Tarzan Alive: The Definitive Biography of Lord Greystoke and Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life, Farmer expanded his Wold Newton mythos in novels such as The Other Log of Phileas Fogg, The Adventure of the Peerless Peer, Times Last Gift, Hadon of Ancient Opar, Flight to Opar, The Dark Heart of Time: A Tarzan Novel, and Escape from Loki: Doc Savages First Adventure. The Evil in Pemberley House, an addition to the Wold Newton cycle, plays with the Gothic horror tradition. Patricia Wildman, the daughter of the world-renowned adventurer and crimefighter of the 1930s and 40s, Dr. James Clarke Doc Wildman, is all alone in the world when she inherits the family estate in Derbyshire, Englandold, dark, and supposedly haunted. But Farmer, characteristically, turns convention on its ear. Is the ghost real, or a clever sham? In Patricia Wildman, Farmer creates an introspective character who struggles to reconcile the supernatural with her rational scientific upbringing, while also attempting to work through unresolved feelings about her late parents. He sets the action at Pemberley from Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice and ingrains the various mysteries in the Canon of the Sherlock Holmes stories.The Evil in Pemberley House is a darkly erotic novel with broad appeal to readers of pulp and popular literature, particularly followers of Doc Savage, Sherlockians, and fans of Farmers own celebrated Wold Newton Family. From Booklist: "In the many novels of the Wold Newton series, the late Farmer proved fond of enhancing the 'biographies' of famous literary characters, such as Vernes Phileas Fogg and Burroughs Tarzan, with fanciful, 'uncovered' details. Here, collaborating with sf colleague and Wold Newton enthusiast Eckert, he recounts the fate of Patricia Wildman, daughter of pulp fiction icon Doc Savage. Part pulp romance, part erotic thriller, Farmer and Eckerts yarn is a steamy, intriguing addition to Wold Newton lore." From Library Journal: ...this dark erotic novel mixes the gothic-horror format with pieces of Sherlockian mysteries as well as homages to Tarzan of Greystoke and the Doc Savage series.

Farmer, Philip Jose VENUS ON THE HALF-SHELL
USA Subterranean Press 2008 1596061421 / 9781596061422 First Edition Private Press Hard Cover Fine Fine
In the mid-1970s a fever-pitched furor was created when an actual novel purported to be by Kilgore Trout -- the sadsack science fiction writer who appears as a character in the works of Kurt Vonnegut -- materialized on the bookracks, complete with a mysterious back cover photo of the author looking like a bearded vagabond sage. Debate raged as to who had truly written Venus on the Half-Shell. Was it Vonnegut himself, or perhaps Theodore Sturgeon, rumored to have been the inspiration for Trout? Or did Kilgore Trout really exist? Just as one respected newspaper published an article "proving" that Vonnegut had written the book, the Hugo Award-winning science fiction author Philip Jose Farmer announced he was the true author. The controversial Kilgore Trout episode was neither the first nor the last time Farmer would impishly slip out of his own skin and assume the persona of another author. In Venus on the Half-Shell and Others, Philip Jose Farmer transforms himself into fictional personalities as compelling as they are diverse: Cordwainer Bird, Paul Chapin, Rod Keen, Harry "Bunny" Manders, Leo Queequeg Tincrowdor, John H. Watson, M.D. and even the real-life author William S. Burroughs (writing his own version of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Jungle Lord!). Also included is the original version of Farmer's classic Sherlock Holmes/Lord Greystoke pastiche The Adventure of the Peerless Peer, back in print for the first time in over thirty years. A unique collection, Venus on the Half-Shell and Others showcases the grand imagination of one of science fiction's most resourceful and creative minds. "Why and How I Became Kilgore Trout" / Venus on the Half-Shell by Kilgore Trout / "The Obscure Life and Hard Times of Kilgore Trout" / "The Jungle Rot Kid on the Nod" / "The Problem of the Sore Bridge -- Among Others" by Harry Manders / "The Volcano" by Paul Chapin / "Osiris on Crutches" by Leo Queequeg Tincrowder / "The Impotency of Bad Karma" by Cordwainer Bird / "The Phantom of the Sewers" by Rod Keen / "A Hole in Hell" by Dane Helstrom / "The Last Rise of Nick Adams" by Codwainer Bird The Adventure of the Peerless Peer. From Publishers Weekly (Starred Review): "Finally, after demonstrating how Tarzan might have sounded had he been written by William S. rather than Edgar Rice, Farmer dons the mantle of Conan Doyle's Dr. Watson and introduces Tarzan to Holmes in 'The Adventure of the Peerless Peer.' Only a writer as mature as Farmer could have pulled this stunt off so successfully." From Booklist: "Collected here for the first time, Farmer's complete fictional author tales include the complete Trout novel, a Trout faux biography, and eight more pseudonymous inventions. Inevitably and unavoidably, the star attraction here is Venus, the story of disillusioned space wanderer Simon Wagstaff and, in its own impish way, one of Farmer's best short novels."
