Rediscovered Terry Pratchett stories to be published
Rediscovered Terry Pratchett stories to be published
A collection of newly rediscovered short stories by Terry Pratchett, originally written under a pseudonym, are to be published later this year.
Sarah Shaffi, Mon 27 Feb 2023 14.52 GMT
The 20 tales in A Stroke of the Pen: The Lost Stories were written by Pratchett in the 1970s and 1980s for a regional newspaper, mostly under the pseudonym Patrick Kearns. They have never been previously attributed to Pratchett, who died in 2015 aged 66, eight years after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
The collection was bought by Pratchett’s longtime publisher Transworld for a six-figure sum, and will be published on 5 October.
The discovery of the stories is down to a group of Pratchett’s fans. One of the longer stories in the collection, The Quest for the Keys, had been framed on Pratchett fan Chris Lawrence’s wall for more than 40 years. When he alerted the Pratchett estate to its existence, the rest of the stories were unearthed by fans Pat and Jan Harkin, who went through decades’ worth of old newspapers to rediscover the lost treasures.

Zine and FAAn Award news
From Nic Farey, This Here 62
The Faniverse in general, and I believe the fanzine bit of it in
particular, does have a common spirit which is shared at
some level, as much as individual expressions of it may
differ wildly. The spirit of the FAAns smells like, what, inky
fingers? Weed? Strong Drink ((c) L Huntzinger)? Snark?
Desperation? Perhaps all of the above, yet I contend that it
behooves the disparate members to have at it and participate
in what’s still fanzine fandom’s only dedicated awards…
