Alleged Sexism in Horror Fiction Industry
There is much talk in the Guardian Newspaper etc about alleged sexism in the Horror Fiction Industry:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2009/sep/22/horror-sexism-fantasy-society
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2009/sep/23/sexism-horror-novels-row
And at least part of the background story is told here:
http://www.britishfantasysociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=2143.0
regarding the book 'In Conversation, A Writer's Perspective' by James Cooper and its connection with the British Fantasy Society (BFS). My own views are recorded there under the name DFL.
Does the tenet that any publicity is good publicity hold up here?
MY ADDITIONAL CONCLUSION: With all this controversy going on about alleged sexism, perhaps the only way to try to avoid any prejudice whatsoever is - at least as an experiment - to do things the (link:) 'Nemonymous' or HarperCollins ANONthology ways.
I've been thinking. I've not yet seen the James Cooper book, but, possibly,
16 male writers *could* honestly give more of a representative view of the
'male' and 'feminine' spirits than, say, 8 men and 8 women. Some men
contain more of the 'feminine' spirit than some women.
