«Альмарик»
 
Уважаемые друзья! А знаете ли вы, что роман «Альмарик» принадлежит перу не только Говарда, но и еще какого-то автора. Впервые он вышел в 1939 году в трех номерах журнала «Сверхъестественные истории» («Weird Tales»), и дописывал его кто-то, сотрудничавший с этим журналом. Здесь есть информация, из которой я и сделал вывод, что на роль дописчика подозревают Отиса Адельберта Кляйна (Otis Adelbert Kline) и некоего Отто Биндера (Otto Binder). Но точно неизвестно, кто дописывал роман. Будем надеяться, что когда-нибудь это выяснится...

Если честно, вот Альмарик я прочитать не смог :) Это что-то такое раннее, в стиле Эдгара Берроуза :)...

Нет, не слишком раннее, Пелиас. Говард начал писать роман в феврале 1934 года.
А «берроузовость» там появилась, наверное, как раз по причине работы дописчика.

Забавно :)

Last week, Rusty Burke sent me an email alerting me to an advertisement at Paizo.com regarding their upcoming edition of Robert E. Howard’s Almuric as part of their Planet Stories line. In the description, it is stated “For those historians who believe the latter theory, the chief suspect is responsible for wrapping up Almuric is none other than Otis Adelbert Kline, Howard’s literary agent and himself a prominenent Weird Tales author. In addition to to veiled references to shady arrangements, theorists who believe Howard never lived to see a complete Almuric draft point to the novel’s ending as uncharacteristic of Howard’s style, whereas others accuse such conspiracy theorists to jumping at shadows. The debate rages to this day.”
I am not sure this is a raging debate with the lone exception of one person who has steadfastly refused to accept Almuric is anything but 100% Robert E. Howard despite repeated presented evidence to the contrary. “Veiled references to shady arrangements” has me perplexed. I have studied the history of Almuric for years and have some theories. Glenn Lord told me there was a first version for the novel that was more synopsis than draft. There was a second incomplete draft. He got this information from a fanzine article from around 1940. So, there is a second hand present that finished the novel.
Now to Otis Adelbert Kline. Cerasini and Hoffman did speculate that Kline finished the novel in their Starmont Reader’s Guide to Robert E. Howard. This theory is quickly demolished in that Otis Adelbert Kline would have taken a 50% cut of the sales if he had finished it. The receipts for the novel indicate a 10% agent fee. Also an examination of the climactic battle is most un-Klinish. Kline loved sword fights and used fencing terms such as moulinet for descriptions. Almuric’s last chapter is very clumsy with the action sequences. Some sentences are downright embarrassing. I compared potential posthumous collaborators including E. Hoffmann Price, Ralph Milne Farley, Otis Adelbert Kline, and Otto Binder. My criteria is they had to have been writing for Weird Tales at the time. I came to the conclusion that Otto Binder finished Almuric after comparing the texts of the two chapters to a number of stories of his from that period. I wrote this up as an essay entitled “The First Posthumous Collaborator” for REHupa back in 2002. Binder’s biographer, Bill Schelley agreed with me when I presented my ideas to him. I have no proof as we have no letters or receipts of payment. It is all circumstantial evidence based on textual comparison. I can say Otis Adelbert Kline can be ruled out easily. It is time to lay this one to rest.

Вот абсолютно та же самая ссылка в первом сообщении темы.
Не столь откровенная, правда... :)
