About the author
Sam Moskowitz
128 books14 followersSam Moskowitz (June 30, 1920-April 15, 1997) was an early fan and organizer of interest in science fiction and, later, a writer, critic, and historian of the field. As a child, Moskowitz greatly enjoyed reading science fiction pulp magazines. As a teenager, he organized a branch of the Science Fiction League. Meanwhile, Donald A. Wollheim helped organize the Futurians, a rival club with Marxist sympathies. While still in his teens, Moskowitz became chairman of the first World Science Fiction Convention held in New York City in 1939. He barred several Futurians from the convention because they threatened to disrupt it. This event is referred to by historians of fandom as the "Great Exclusion Act."
Moskowitz later worked professionally in the science fiction field. He edited Science-Fiction Plus, a short-lived genre magazine owned by Hugo Gernsback, in 1953. He compiled about two dozen anthologies, and a few single-author collections, most published in the 1960s and early 1970s. Moskowitz also wrote a handful of short stories (three published in 1941, one in 1953, three in 1956). His most enduring work is likely to be his writing on the history of science fiction, in particular two collections of short author biographies, Explorers of the Infinite and Seekers of Tomorrow, as well as the highly regarded Under the Moons of Mars: A History and Anthology of “The Scientific Romance” in the Munsey Magazines, 1912-1920. Moskowitz has been criticized for eccentrically assigning priorities and tracing influences regarding particular themes and ideas based principally on publication dates, as well as for some supposed inaccuracies. His exhaustive cataloguing of early sf magazine stories by important genre authors remains the best resource for nonspecialists.
Moskowitz's most popular work may be The Immortal Storm, a historical review of internecine strife within fandom. Moskowitz wrote it in a bombastic style that made the events he described seem so important that, as fan historian Harry Warner, Jr. quipped, "If read directly after a history of World War II, it does not seem like an anticlimax."
Moskowitz was also renowned as a science fiction book collector, with a tremendous number of important early works and rarities. His book collection was auctioned off after his death.
As "Sam Martin", he was also editor of the trade publications Quick Frozen Foods and Quick Frozen Foods International for many years.
First Fandom, an organization of science fiction fans active before 1940, gives an award in Moskowitz' memory each year at the World Science Fiction Convention.
Moskowitz smoked cigarettes frequently throughout his adult life. A few years before his death, throat cancer required the surgical removal of his larynx. He continued to speak at science fiction conventions, using an electronic voice-box held against his throat. Throughout his later years, although his controversial opinions were often disputed by others, he was indisputably recognized as the leading authority on the history of science fiction.

June 9, 2025Review in Progress
Urgestein Sam Moskowitz hat mit THE MAN WHO CALLED HIMSELF POE ein Buch mit einem interessanten Konzept herausgegeben. Im Vorwort von 1970 schreibt Moskowitz:
"As can be seen, the efforts of the Baker Street Irregulars has been dedicated to turning a fictional character (Sherlock Holmes) into a real person. Only one readership phenomenon in literary history can be compared to it and that is the attempts of the admirers of Edgar Allan Poe to turn his life into fiction!" Und so finden sich neben einem biografischen Abriss zu Poes Leben von Thomas Ollive Mabbott eine Vielzahl von Stories, "Fiction about Poe".
Schon die erste, THE VALLEY OF UNREST , von Douglass Sherley, macht die Anthologie zu einem Prunkstück. Ausgehend von gleichnamigen Gedicht Poes, das vorangestellt abgedruckt wird, schreibt Sherley eine äußerst gelungene Erzählung über die "Hintergründe", die der Entstehung des Gedichts vorausgehen. Er erzählt von der Zeit, als Poe an der Viginia University studierte, und Moskowitz weist darauf hin, dass es Sache der Poe-Forscher ist, herauszuarbeiten, was an dieser Reminiszenz möglicherweise Tatsache sein könnte. Danach vermischen sich Biografie und Fiktion und Sherley entwickelt aus einer kryptischen Verszeile von Poes Gedicht eine wahrhaft unheimliche Geschichte. Der mehrfach zitierte Vers des Gedichts lautet:
"Over the lilies there that wave
and weep above a nameless grave"
Und folglich geht es in der Story um die Frage, wer der Fremde sein mag, der in diesem namenlosen Grab ruht. Ein Mysterium, dass sich nur ansatzweise klären lässt, während es auf die Frage, wie Poe in dem abgelegenen Tal zu dem Gedicht inspiriert wurde, keine Antwort geben kann. Wie konnte er voraussehen, dass sich dort eines Tages wirklich das Grab eines Namenlosen befinden würde?
Ich finde diese Story ausßergewöhnlich anregend und gelungen, daher auch die etwas langatmige Inhaltsangabe. Sherleys Buch ist eine heute fast vergessene Rarität, ein Glücksfall also, dass Moskowitz die Geschichte in voller Länge abdruckt (und sogar Maße, Papier und Aussehen des 1883 wohl im Privatdruck erschienenen Büchleins angibt).
Ganz klare 5 Sterne für Sherleys THE VALLEY OF UNREST, eine so starke und liebevoll herausgegebene Story, dass sie bereits die ganze Anthologie in Richtung Höchstwertung bringt.
MY ADVENTURE WITH EDGAR ALLAN POE von Julian Hawthorne (Sohn von Nathaniel H.) ist eine Art Totengespräch; anders als in Arno Schmidts TINA wird dem Erzähler aber kein Zugang ins Totenreich gewährt, sondern der auferstandene Tote begegnet dem Erzähler in der Welt der Lebenden.
"It is a great pleasure to meet you, Mr. Poe," I said, at length. "I suppose i needn´t add that it is an unexpected one."
"My return to life was as unexpected to myself as it could have been to any one else," was his reply."
Wenn der Erzähler erhofft haben sollte, Einblicke aus erster Hand in das Leben des Genies Poe zu bekommen, so wird er (und der Leser) allerdings enttäuscht. Auch wenn Poe nach vier Jahrzehnten des Todes immer noch wie früher aussieht, so ist seine Persönlichkeit doch gealtert und gleicht in nichts mehr dem einstigen Genie. Keine schriftstellerischen Ambitionen treiben Poe mehr um, stattdessen der Wunsch nach einem gesicherten behaglichen Leben.
"Mr. Poe," I said, looking him in the face, "are you not making a virtue of necessity? Is it not because you feel the decay in you of the powers you once possessed that you profess to care no longer to use them? Are you not concealing the loss of your genius by pretending to be indifferent to the honor that genius commands?"
Aber nicht einmal mit dieser Attacke gelingt es dem Erzähler, Poe aus der Reserve zu locken. Und so sind Erzähler und Leser nicht allzu enttäuscht, wenn sie erfahren, dass der bei einem Bankier angestellte Privatsekretär Edgar Allan Arnold wenig später (endgültig?) stirbt.
Hawthorne erzählt die Geschichte passend zum Inhalt sachlich und unaufgeregt. Es geht weniger um die Auferstehung eines Toten als um die Frage, welchen Preis ein Mensch dafür zahlt, sein Genie auszuleben. Und man fragt sich auch, wie sich Poes Leben weiter entwickelt hätte, wäre er nicht schon mit 40 Jahren gestorben. Vielleicht ist es dieser Aspekt, der Hawthornes Geschichte schauerlich macht?
4 Sterne.
IN WHICH AN AUTHOR AND HIS CHARACTER ARE WELL MET von Vincent Starrett erzählt die letzten Tage von Poe. Poe betrinkt sich in Gesellschaft von Legrand und trifft später die Dark Lady. Doch noch ist er nicht bereit für den Tod...
Das Ende der Story wartet mit einem vertrackten Semi-Twist auf.
3 ½ Sterne
WHEN IT WAS MOONLIGHT von Manly Wade Wellman ist eine Vampirgeschichte im Stil der Pulps erzählt mit Poe als Protagonisten. Auch wenn Moskowitz sie als "most ingenious" deklariert, ich fand sie ein wenig fade.
3 Sterne
THE MAN WHO COLLECTED POE von Robert Bloch: Da bin ich voreingenommen, weil ich Bloch großartig finde und in diesem Poe/Usher-Pastiche Blochs Qualitäten alle wiederfinde: Humor, Schauer, Pscho-Wahnsinn und genaue Kenntnis seiner Vorbilder. Eine Erzählung über einen verrücktem Poe-Sammler (!), die sich stark am Haus Usher orientiert und sich an zwei Stellen auch vor dem Poe-Nachfolger Lovecraft verbeugt. Wahnsinnig!
Verrückte 5 Sterne!

One of the most idiotic titles I have ever read. The man was born Poe. It was the name of his father. And his father was born Poe as well. Poe Jr. So there was at least another Poe upstream. As far as I know the man might have called himself "Little Blue Flower". Poe was what the tax collector and the judge would call him.

The Man Who Called Himself Poe
Edited by Sam Moskowitz
Book Review
Born: January 19, 1809 Boston, Massachusetts
Died: October 7, 1849 Baltimore, Maryland
Spouse: Virginia Eliza Clemm
Mother: Elizabeth Arnold, Actress
Father: David Poe, Jr.
John and Frances Allan raised him from a youth of one year old after his father abandoned the family and his mother died in 1810. Although Sam Moskowitz writes the introduction he takes no credit for writing the book “The Man Who Called Himself Poe.” Moskowitz’s contribution was a masterful collection of Poe’s history as told by those whom knew him best. The books acknowledgement honors Madeline Haycock.
Professor Thomas Ollive Mabbott has taken on the biographical collection of Poe’s history to be submitted to Harvard for publication. However he has submitted a briefing on the masterful characteristics of Edgar Allen Poe for the reader to appreciate in this book. Mabbott is no stranger to research on personal history and has been credited with works describing the life of Walt Whitman and William Cullen Bryant.
Edgar Allen Poe was only able to finance one year at the University of Virginia in Richmond where the Allans sponsored his education. He excelled in language but took an active interest in writing. His flirtations with the school girls in poetry he wrote have not been discovered. He resigned from the University due to a lack of financing and pursued his writing career with the publication of Tamerlane. Lacking the finances to move forward on his own he enlisted in the Army under the name Edgar A. Perry.
Poe reconciled with John Allan after the pleading of Frances on her death bed. The reconciliation sent him to West Point for a short while where he continued to write and be accepted for publication in New York. Poe later went to Baltimore where he wrote short stories for publication in the Philadelphia Saturday Courier in 1832. He published again in the Baltimore Saturday Visitor and was on his way at being an accepted writer with comparisons to well established professionals in the field. He established himself as editor for the Southern Literary Messenger in Richmond, Virginia. He marries Virginia Eliza Clemm when she was just thirteen with her mother’s blessing and they moved to New York.
He became the editor of Burton’s Gentleman’s Magazine in 1839 until he accepted a position with Graham’s Magazine. Although he did not remain faithful to any one publisher he did exercise his writing technique into a skill vastly sought by others. Poe’s wife Virginia died in 1847 and Poe turned to Charles Dickens in Philadelphia for advice on his career. Shortly thereafter and not on account of Dickens; Poe published the Raven in the American Review after had been turned down by Graham. He had now achieved the success he had longed for and continued to write short stories and improved his popularity.
Edgar Allen Poe has been contributed with influencing the writings of Jules Verne for his fascination with astronomy and even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with Sherlock Holmes in his recital of murder mysteries investigated by Michael Avallone. He was the originator to the tales of horror which others followed and gained credibility from the style such as Alfred Hitchcock and more recently Steven King.
Poe had his critics and those who were jealous of his surprising success; but he also had a vast number of biographers who revered him as a genius. Poe suffered from a brain lesion and the stories of his drunkenness were vastly exaggerated. His medication in time became less effective as prescribed by his doctor as he himself was nursed by his friend Mrs. Clemm and Mrs. Marie Louise Shew. They consulted with Dr. Valentine Mott who advised that the lesion would cause depressive periods and manic conditions of paranoia. Despite his mental and physical condition he continued to write successfully.
The book continues to recite relationships and communications that Poe had with others that inspired biographical sketches. Edgar Allan Poe remained a mystery to many who investigated his career while others wanted to raise a statue in celebration of his genius and influence on literature as it should be enjoyed. Boris Karloff and others celebrate much of their success to the films created from Poe’s work.
Among his many pieces of literature that portray his macabre understanding to fear and reflection are: “The Black Cat, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Gold Bug, The Masque of the Red Death, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Pit and the Pendulum, and The Tell Tale Heart.” Other short stories were written and celebrated upon there publication but none set the stage for his success more than the poem “The Raven.”
Douglass Sherley provides the rendering of The Valley of Unrest” while Julian Hawthorne reveals her Adventures with Edgar Allen Poe. Vincent Starrett writes his acquaintance in Which an Author and His Characters are Well Met. Robert Bloch writes The Man Who Collected Poe and Michael Avallone pens The Man Who Thought He Was Poe. All of these works and more honor the legend that is the man.
