So much for taking 2 hours to create it — the autonarrated audiobook of Carl Jacobi's "Revelations in Black" took the Google elves less than 15 minutes, once I had the text set up.
See my previous post about their computer-generated audiobooks.

There is quite a controversy brewing in the audiobook field over a new technology called autonarrated audiobooks. It uses computer voice synthesis and advanced speech algorithms to generate audiobooks. Of course, audiobook narrators are against it, since they believe it threatens their livelihood.
Personally, I don't think it's a realistic concern. Computers today cannot create anything nearly as good as a well-read audiobook by a professional reader or voice actor — and they probably never will. But computers can turn books into audiobooks quickly and cost effectively, which is particularly useful for titles that will never have a professionally read audiobook produced. Not every book and story can be made into a "real" audiobook by a human reader. There are too many of them. And many of those don't have sufficient commercial appeal to warrant spending hundreds, even thousands of dollars to produce one.
Enter the autonarrated audiobook. I was fortunate enough to take part in Google's beta test of their autonarrated audiobook project, and I used it to create about a hundred audiobooks, books and short stories that mostly have a niche audience and will probably not be recorded professionally ever. But now, if you're interested in audio or visually impaired, you can experience these books. And they are better than half of the free audiobooks read by volunteers at Librivox. (Maybe more than half!)
This morning, I worked on an autonarrated audiobook of Carl Jacobi's vampire story, "Revelations in Black." I had fun doing it, making it available to anyone who wants to give it a listen (for 99 cents). The Google elves are preparing it for publication at Google Play as I type this—with an estimated time of 2 hours to create the audio files, once I polished everything up and set the virtual machinery in motion. That's something a human narrator could never accomplish. And, with Carl Jacobi's sales figures, probably wouldn't want to — despite his being an excellent author.

But one interesting thing has happened recently. I purchased a large collection of books—one focused on pulp fiction, with an emphasis on Edgar Rice Burroughs, Conan, and Doc Savage, with smaller collections of Philip K. Dick, Andre Norton, and series SF paperbacks. I'm keep about a third of it to fill holes in my collection, but it still leaves me with many thousands (literally!) of duplicate books, magazines, and fanzines I don't want -- including a fairly complete run of Ace Doubles, a lot of pulp magazines, and complete sets of books (Dray Prescott, Gor, etc etc etc).
I have begun listing them at startlingstories.us -- stop by and check it out if you're interested. I'm trying to list 10-20 new items every day. At this rate, I should be done in a year or two...

It's been quite a while since I've posted anything, mostly because I've been too busy to think about such stuff as social media. But I do have a few important updates.
First, Wildside Press has launched a "new" science fiction magazine. I say "new" because, well, it's actually not that new—it's a revival of the classic pulp magazine, Startling Stories™. It's in the original pulp magazine format (only much longer) and continues the original SS volume and issue numbering, so it fits seamlessly into the run for collectors. We plan to do it as an annual.
Check it out at the new Startling Stories™ web site, www.startlingstories.us
Second, one of our printers has decided they do not want to print public domain books anymore, so I have been moving our books to a different printer. About 800 so far (the top 800 in sales terms) so if you have seen books appearing from us rapidly at Amazon, most of those are updated editions being reissued from the new printer. I have done new covers for most of the H. Rider Haggard books, for instance. And added introductions to our Jules Verne books (among others). Lots of time-consuming work, but it is proving worthwhile.
I hope you are all well and doing fine. Happy reading!

“The Inquisitor,” was written in May, 1956 for William Hamling's IMAGINATION magazine, as Robert Silverberg writes in his lengthly introduction, "a few weeks before my graduation from Columbia, and put my own byline on it, but when Hamling published it in the December, 1956 issue of IMAGINATION it was credited to Randall Garrett, and so it has remained in bibliographies to this day. It’s my work, though: a compact synthesis, in 2500 words, of the themes of Arthur Koestler’s Darkness at Noon and Franz Kafka’s “In the Penal Colony,” two classic works of fiction that would have been very much on my mind as I rounded out my days as a literature major at Columbia."
