Horror/Dark Fantasy M-Z

New York: Bantam Books, 1972. "Whom Gods Destroy" (episode 71, season 3, screenplay Lee Erwin and Jerry Sohl) (The remainder of the title quote is 'they first drive mad'; the setting is Elba II, a planet with a poisonous atmosphere used to isolate the criminally insane in an escape-proof setting.) I tend to bracket this with "Dagger of the Mind" from season 1. ENTERPRISE has come to Elba II because the newest inmate, Garth of Izar, was a respected starship captain until he was driven mad by injuries sustained in the line of duty. The problem is, the inmates have taken over the asylum, and Garth is a formidable opponent, insane or not. "The Tholian Web" (episode 64, season 3, screenplay Judy Burns and Chet Richards) Sent by Starfleet to locate the lost DEFIANT, the ENTERPRISE finds it drifting near a 'fracture' in space that affects the minds of any near it, apparently the cause of the death of DEFIANT's crew. Kirk, separated from the rest of the away team, appears to have been lost - and when a Tholian vessel appears and demands that ENTERPRISE leave the area, Spock and McCoy must open Kirk's final sealed orders and presume his death. "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" (episode 70, season 3, screenplay Oliver Crawford from a story by Gene L. Coon (as Lee Cronin)) Two aliens from the hitherto unknown planet Cheron board the ENTERPRISE - Lokai, a member of an oppressed minority on that planet, and Bele, the law enforcement officer who has been pursuing him for 50000 years on charges of terrorism. (Interesting if unsubtle point: the two races look exactly the same, half black/half white, except that one is white/black and the other black/white; only the placement of the colours distinguishes them.) As Lokai demands asylum and Bele extradition, Kirk defers the issue to Starfleet Command - and in frustration, Bele uses his ESP to seize control of the ship and force a return to Cheron. "This Side of Paradise" (episode 25, season 1, screenplay Nathan Butler and Dorothy C. Fontana). The first of several episodes over the years to explore the notion of a 'paradise' planet: in this case, Omicron Ceti III, where the colonists have survived lethal doses of radiation only through accidental exposure to plant spores that act as natural tranquilizers. The colonists are happy - but insist on exposing the ENTERPRISE crew to the effect. (This story works best if you've previously read/seen "The Enemy Within" - certain aspects of Kirk's character showcased in that episode are critical to coping with the lotus-eater syndrome herein.) "Turnabout Intruder" (last episode of season 3, screenplay Gene Roddenberry and Arthur H. Singer) Janice Lester, an old acquaintance of Kirk's embittered since he attained command when she did not, uses an alien device to force an exchange of bodies with him. Blish's adaptation, like the original episode, concentrates more on Lister in Kirk's body than the real Kirk, confined to the brig for trying to incite mutiny. Lester, however, isn't good at passing herself off as the real Kirk, and overlooked some crucial details about the intended purpose of the device. "Requiem for Methuselah" (episode 76, season 3, screenplay Jerome Bixby) Flint, a very wealthy recluse living alone with an unusually beautiful and self-possessed young woman in palatial surroundings, permits the ENTERPRISE to collect some vital minerals needed to treat an outbreak of Rigellian fever among the crew. But as delays interfere with McCoy's treatment, Spock and Kirk have time to notice just how unusual Flint's palace - and his ward Rayna - really are. [This episode was later used by another author, along with "Miri", to create CRY OF THE ONLIES, which tied up some loose ends.] "The Way to Eden" (episode 75, season 3, screenplay Arthur Heinemann and Michael Richards) A back-to-nature cult (resembling contemporary hippies) has stolen a starship (bad) and are headed for the Romulan Neutral Zone (worse) in the belief that Eden is a planet to be found in that area. ENTERPRISE must prevent them from causing an international incident. On the other hand, their leader has a reputation as a brilliant scientist, and one of the youngsters is the son of an ambassador figuring prominently in very delicate negotiations..

New York: Bantam Books, 1972. The Savage Curtain"(episode 77, season 3, screenplay Gene Roddenberry and Arthur Heinemann). Encounter with vastly powerful aliens: the Excalbians, who arrange an experiment to explore the nature of the (to them) alien concepts of 'good' and 'evil' in a death-match competition. On the 'good' side, Kirk, Spock, Lincoln, and Surak of Vulcan (first introduction of the character, who established the Vulcans' pacifist philosophy; see Diane Duane's SPOCK'S WORLD). On the 'evil' side are Genghis Khan, Colonel Green (from Earth's near-future), Zora, and Kahless (who founded the Klingon way of life). (These aren't the real historical figures, but reconstructions based on Kirk's and Spock's perceptions, so history isn't in peril, only Kirk and Spock.) "The Lights of Zetar" (episode 73, season 3, screenplay Jeremy Tarcher and Shari Lewis) En route to deliver specialist Mira Romaine to Memory Alpha - a respository of knowledge - ENTERPRISE is overtaken by a peculiar 'energy storm' in space causing odd symptoms in random crew members: loss of language, muttering in an unknown language, loss of manual dexterity. Mira (and as it turns out, the rest of the Memory Alpha team) are worst affected - of great concern to Scotty, who's taken with her. "The Apple" (episode 38, season 2, screenplay Max Ehrlich and Gene L. Coon) The title refers to the apples of Eden: this is one of several episodes exploring the idea of an 'earthly paradise' - peaceful but stagnant. As the natives are long-lived, one of the prices they pay is an Edenlike innocence to keep their population at manageable levels - but who or what is doing the managing? (I appreciate the fact that Blish takes the trouble to address the problem of understanding the alien language without a universal translator cop-out.) "By Any Other Name" (episode 50, season 2, screenplay Dorothy C. Fontana and Jerome Bixby). The galactic 'barrier' from 'Where No Man Has Gone Before' turns up again, having damaged a scout ship from the Andromeda galaxy beyond repair. The survivors, Rojan and Kalinda, are an advance party seeking to take over the Milky Way as a replacement for their own galaxy, which is becoming uninhabitable; they've taken humanlike form only for convenience in taking over the ENTERPRISE as a replacement for their own ship. However, taking human form has unforeseen consequences. "The Cloud Minders" (episode 74, season 3, screenplay Margaret Armen, story by David Gerrold and Oliver Crawford) ENTERPRISE is sent to the planet Ardana for a mineral needed on Merak II to counter a devastating plague. The zenite, however, is obtained at great cost in human suffering by miners who never enjoy the fruits of their labor - that being reserved by the aristocrats who live in the cloud cities. Rebels among the miners delay the ENTERPRISE's mission - and upon looking into the matter, the mining conditions are even more dangerous than they seem. "The Mark of Gideon" (episode 72, season 3, screenplay George F. Slavin and Stanley Adams) The planet Gideon, having previously refused contact, agrees to allow Kirk to beam down alone for treaty negotiations. From ENTERPRISE's point of view, Kirk disappears; from his own, he's lost a few minutes of his memory, and still seems to be aboard ship - an empty mock-up of the ENTERPRISE, containing only a single young woman, a total stranger, although he occasionally sees flashes of a vast crowd of strange faces. [Several plot holes, one being that the aliens' ultimate goal could have been achieved easily with a fair chance of *nobody* from the Federation finding out for quite awhile, if they'd gone about it intelligently. However, the problem is interesting.]. Creases/rough/reader Copy Only. Mass Market Paperback. Acceptable. more information

Westminster, Maryland, U.S.A.: Ballantine Books, 1990. This exuberantly spooky novel, in which horror, repressed eroticism, and sulfurous social comedy intertwine like the vines in an overgrown English garden, is now a major motion picture, starring Alan Bates, Sting, and Theresa Russell. From Publishers Weekly - Witty, weird and highly enjoyable, this gothic British tale is aptly titled. The set-up is macabre: a distinguished paleontologist is brain-damaged and slowly turning into a vegetable. He cannot speak, but narrates an interior monologue of all he sees and hears: a lot of sexual shenanigans and a particularly grisly murder, all centered around "Fledge," the butler, who has ambitions. The stylistic joke is that all these horrors take place in a quaint, genteel English country setting, where the village is "Pock-on-the-Fling," the pub, "The Hodge and Purlet" and the barrister, "Sir Fleckley Tome." However deadly the deed, the language is always decorous and impeccably mannered.. ISBN: 0345364074. No lines/edgerubs/stamp/clean/tite. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good.

Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.: Harpercollins Pub, 1994. Nursing a bum knee and a troubled conscience--both trophies from his recent foray into war-torn former Yugoslavia--TV journalist Rick Masterson takes time off to recover physically and mentally. Most folks looking to exorcise personal demons might avoid a deserted place called Spirit Lake, but not Rick. The "elemental," an evil spirit-being long deprived of a human vehicle in which to wreak havoc, haunts the lake, waiting for someone to carry it back to civilization. Standing in this being's path are Sara, the wandering soul of a murdered teenager, whom Rick encounters on a snowy road, and Hap and Phylis, two locals from a nearby town. Sara's attempt to save Rick is impeded when she beds down with the handsome stranger. Then it's up to Hap and Phylis, who, with the help of Janet, a psychic, hippie-era holdover, must neutralize the evil spirit before it summons other demons to a veritable feast of unsuspecting human souls. - From Publishers Weekly..
