''The Early Long'' is a collection of stories by Frank Belknap Long. Released in 1975, more than 50 years after the start of Long's career, it contains some of Long's best stories, together with an introduction which casts light on his early life and work. Many of the stories had appeared in Weird Tales and other pulp magazines and had helped establish Long's reputation as one of the classic writers of the horror and science fiction genres in the early twentieth century. The book was one of a series of retrospective collections of early stories with autobiographical commentary by major sf and fantasy writers that Doubleday published in the 1970s, beginning with The Early Asimov (1972) and continuing with ''The Early del Rey'' (1975), ''The Early Williamson'' (1975), ''The Early Pohl'' (1975), and ''The Early Long''. In the introduction, Long discusses his indebtedness to greats such as H. G. Wells, Poe, Hawthorne, H.P. Lovecraft, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Theodore Sturgeon and Robert Bloch. Long also wrote a brief intro to each of the stories. A British edition was published by Robert Hale in 1976. An American paperback edition was published by Jove Books in 1978, under the title ''The Hounds of Tindalos''. (The same title was used for Long's 1946 Arkham House collection; all of the stories in this volume also appeared in the earlier book.〔(ISFDB publishing history )〕) ''The Early Long'' was nominated for a World Fantasy Award for best collection in 1976.〔(Locus Index to SF Awards )〕 ==Contents== ''The Early Long'' contains the following: # "Introduction" # "A Visitor from Egypt" # "Dark Vision" # "Death-Waters" # "Fisherman's Luck" # "Grab Bags Are Dangerous" # "It Will Come to You" # "Second Night Out" # "Step Into My Garden" # "The Census Taker" # "The Dark Beasts" # "The Elemental" # "The Flame Midget" # "The Hounds of Tindalos" # "The Ocean Leech" # "The Peeper" # "The Refugees" # "The Space-Eaters" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Early Long」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
