Page 30. "...nearby Treasure Island, where the pirate captain Flint..."
Treasure Island and Captain Flint are from Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island.
"...Glubbdubdrib, Balnibari and Laputa..."
Glubbdubdrib, Balnibari and Laputa are from Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726).
"...Captain Sparrow's Island..."
Captain Sparrow's Island appears in S. Fowler Wright's The Island of Captain Sparrow (1928).
"...Brobdingnag..."
Brobdignag is from Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726).
"...Great Mother's Island..."
Great Mother's Island is from Gerhart Hauptmann's Die Insel der grossen Mutter (1924).
"...and Orphan Island."
Orphan Island is from Rose Macauley's Orphan Island (1924).
"Up in the great northwest expanses of the Klondike region, for example, stands Thieves City..."
Thieves City was created by Maurice Level and appears in La Cité des Voleurs (1930).
"...a tropical oasis known as Dead Man's Valley..."
Dead Man's Valley, aka Tropical Valley, appears in Pierre Berton's The Mysterious North (1956).
"...the Valley of the Beasts..."
The Valley of the Beasts appears in Algernon Blackwood's "The Valley of the Beasts" (1927).
"...Haunted Island..."
Haunted Island appears in Algernon Blackwood's "A Haunted Island" (1906).
"...nearby Canadian Floating Isles..."
Canadian Floating Isles appear in Charles M. Skinner's Myths and Legends of Our Own Land (1896).
"...the frankly absurd area called Rootabaga Country..."
Rootabaga Country was creaed by Carl Sandburg and appeared in Rootabaga Stories (1922).
"Elsewhere in Washington State we discover Chisholm Prison, thought to be escape-proof until the ingenious professor Van Dusen did just that during the first years of the twentieth century..."
This is a reference to "The Problem of Cell 13" (1905), perhaps the most famous of Jacques Futrelle's "Thinking Machine" stories. Professor Van Dusen is the (admittedly very clever) "Thinking Machine." Robert Gurskey disagrees with the location of Chisholm Prison, saying, "Practically all the Thinking Machine stories are set in the Boston, MA area and E. F. Bleiler in the introduction to his 1973 Dover collection Best Thinking Machine Detective Stories implies that Chisholm prison is based on Charlestown Prison."
"...the logging town of Twin Peaks..."
This is a reference to David Lynch's Twin Peaks (1990).
"...we find areas of dense forest sometimes called 'The Deep, Deep Woods' by locals. Doll-like creatures have been seen here..."
This is a reference to Johnny Gruelle's Raggedy Ann in the Deep Woods (1930). (Not my Raggedy Ann! Nooooo! Moore, you bastard!)
"...a supposedly-haunted dell within the Deep, Deep Woods called Glastonbury Grove..."
Glastonbury Grove appears in David Lynch's Twin Peaks. As Andrew McLean points out, Glastonbury Grove is the doorway to the Black Lodge, the home of the evil plaguing the woods and Twin Peaks.
"Moving through Oregon we pass by Cricket Creek (one of the places where there have been various reports of living dinosaurs..."
Cricket Creek is from Evelyn Sibley Lampman's The Shy Stegosaurus of Cricket Creek (1955).
"...upon the nearby coast the city of Mahagonny..."
Mahagonny was created by Bertolt Brecht and appears in Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny (1929).
"...near Mendocino, we find France-Ville..."
France-Ville is from Jules Verne's Les 500 Millions de la Begum (1879).
"Some distance further down, now Monterey, at a number 5 Thallo Street in Pacific Grove, lives the intriguing although somewhat musty-smelling scientist Tyco M. Bass..."
Tyco M. Bass appears in Eleanor Cameron's The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet (1954).
"...while San Francisco is home to the Western American Explorer's Club, whose Professor William Waterman Sherman was involved in the mysterious '21 Balloons' incident of 1883."
The Western American Explorer's Club, Professor William Waterman Sherman, and the 21 Balloons Incident of 1883 are from William Pène Du Bois' The Twenty-One Balloons (1947).
"Out in rural California, not far from Merced, is the long-established settlement called iDEATH, famed for its watermelons. Hardened sugar from there is used to make trout-hatcheries, cabins, sculptures or indeed almost anything one might require. Continuing south, past a vast spread of rusted, obsolete machinery from the 19th century known locally as The Forgotten Works..."
iDEATH and the Forgotten Works are from Richard Brautigan's In Watermelon Sugar (1964).
"...just past Mexico's border, to the charming villa of Don Diego de la Vega where the masked adventurer known as "The Fox" was sighted during the nineteenth and even early twentieth centuries."
Don Diego de la Vega was the Zorro, the Fox, in Johnston McCulley's Zorro stories, beginning with "The Curse of Capistrano" (1919). The first Zorro stories took place in the early part of the 19th century, but as McCulley cranked out successive stories, and as other authors turned out sequels, heirs to the mantle of Zorro appeared across the century and into the start of the 20th century.
"...thought to be the birthplace of the fabled lumberjack Paul Bunyan and his celebrated blue ox, Babe..."
Paul Bunyan and Babe are American legends; any number of myths were told about them starting in the 1840s.
"The crewman, a fellow named Lebowsky, had been formerly a member of the Naiad race of Scoti Moria, but it is not known if he continued the traditional Naiad habits of smoking and nine-pins once established in America, or indeed if he produced any subsequent offspring of any note."
This is another piece of Moorean back-engineering, referring to an ancestor of The Dude and Mr. Lebowski from The Big Lebowski (1998, by Ethan & Joel Coen).
"...the ruined city of Tcha, a supposedly Atlantean colony on the Yucatan peninsula."
Tcha was created by L. Frank Baum and appeared in The Boy Fortune Hunters in Yucatan (1910), one in the "Boy Fortune Hunter" series about a group of youthful treasure hunters who traveled around the world, finding profit and glory wherever they went.
"While giving mention to Louisiana's marvelously atmospheric Yoknapatawpha County..."
Yoknapatawpha County is from William Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha stories and novels, including The Sound and the Fury (1929) and Absalom, Absalom (1936). However, in the Faulkner novels Yoknapatawpha County is in Mississippi, not Louisiana. Carycomic adds what I should have remembered, that if Yoknapatawpha was in Louisiana it would be Yoknapatawpha Parish, not County.
"...the New Mexico ranch home of the early 20th century gunfighter and balladeer Gene Autry. While the famous singing cowboy's home is not itself remarkable, beneath it sprawls the subterranean empire of Murania..."
Gene Autry (1907-1998), of course, was a real person, but what this passage refers to is the fictional Gene Autry, who appeared, along with the underground kingdom of Murania, in The Phantom Empire (1935).
"...the massive underground land Atvatabar..."
Atvatabar was created by William R. Bradshaw and appeared in The Goddess of Atvatabar (1892).
"...the similarly subterranean Etidorhpa's Country..."
Etidorhpa's Country appears in John Uri Lloyd's Etidorhpa or the End of the Earth (1895).
"...cave systems in Kentucky..."
Jason Adams notes,
The "cave systems in Kentucky" mentioned on pg. 30 in connection to Atvatabar, no doubt refers to Mammoth Cave, the largest known cave system in the world (200+ miles of surveyed passages). Incidentaly, there are neighboring caves that are suspected to be connected to the Mammoth system, which, if so proven, would add another 100 or so miles.
"...the Inca Tunnel running from the same Kentucky caves towards Peru..."
The Inca Tunnel is from Emilio Salgari's Duemila leghe sotto l'America (1888).
"Orlando."
Neil Alderton, among others, including Ed Toschach and Jonathan Carter, points out that Orlando's watch has a question mark on it, the leitmotif of the League.
Page 31. "...to the east beyond the wildernesses of Drexara..."
Drexara was created by Abbé Antoine Francois Prevost, Le Philosophe anglois (1731).
"...are the Appalachin hills where Silver John (a balladeer and possibly a colleague of Gene Autry)..."
Silver John was the memorable creation of Manly Wade Wellman and appeared in a number of short stories and collections, beginning with Who Fears the Devil? (1963).
"...the hillbilly settlement called Dogpatch, with its famously attractive females, and the nearby Valley of the Shmoon, where little edible food is grown, but where nobody goes hungry."
Dogpatch and the Valley of the Shmoon both appeared in Al Capp's comic strip Li'l Abner (1934-1977). The Shmoon (plural of Shmoo) were the most edible beast in creation.
"Westwards, meanwhile, lies Oklahoma, another location that seems to inspire men to song and dance, at least to judge by the Nature Theatre of Oklahoma..."
This is a reference Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma! and to the Nature Theatre of Oklahoma, which appears in Franz Kafka's Amerika (1927).
"Northwards, over Kansas, there would seem to be some massive flaw in space, as mentioned earlier, permitting access to extensive extra-worldly territories..."
This is a reference to the Oz books by L. Frank Baum, the first of which was The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900). Xanadude adds, about the "flaw in space,"
Dorothy Gale and others made frequent trips to Oz later on, so there are several portals -- they are probably movable or appear sporadically -- for example, Dorothy(or others) was transported to Oz during a storm at sea (on her way to Australia), during the San Francisco earthquake, by walking along a strange road, travelling underground, getting lost and just kinda winding up in Oz (Button Bright's favorite method), be blown there by high winds, magically transported from Philadelphia, among other ways.
A large number of people have written me suggesting that the "flaw in space" over Kansas is a reference to Superman, who landed in Kansas' Smallville as a baby. I don't think this is what Moore is referring to, however, since he seems to be taking pains to leave comic book superheroes out of the world of LoEG, and because Superman didn't arrive via a "flaw in space," but rather through normal space, in a spaceship.
"Further north still, in Wyoming, we discover Lake La Metrie and its legendary talking monster..."
This is a reference to Wardon Curtis' "The Monster of Lake La Metrie" (1899). The "talking monster" was an "elasmosaurus" into which Edward Framingham had his brain transplanted. For more information, see the Monster entry on my Fantastic Victoriana site.
"...eastwards in Montana is Red Gap, where displaced English butler Marmaduke Ruggles..."
Red Gap and Marmaduke Ruggles are from Harry Leon Wilson's Ruggles of Red Gap (1915). Stu Shiffman says, "Harry Leon Wilson, in Ruggles of Red Gap and other books, makes it clear that Red Gap is located in eastern Washington, not Montana."
"...the famous former Texas Ranger and masked vigilante John Reid, shortly prior to Reid's retirement to the coast to raise a family."
John Reid is better known as the Lone Ranger. Todd Klein points out that Reid's retirement to the coast is a reference to John Reid's family connection to Britt Reid, aka the Green Hornet.
"Iowa has Rampart Junction..."
Rampart Junction is from Ray Bradbury's "The Town Where No One Got Off" (1959).
"...in the forgotten county of Apodidraskiana is the haunt of fugitives called Dotandcarryone Town..."
Apodidraskiana and Dotandcarryone Town are from Thomas Love Peacock's Crotchet Castle (1831).
"Great Cypress Swamp is of more interest to us as the site of certain grim events, at a neighbouring graveyard, which involved a Mr. Randolph Carter of Massachusetts."
This is a reference to H.P. Lovecraft's "The Statement of Randolph Carter" (1919) and the four other stories in which Carter appears.
"Great Cypress Swamp also runs into Okeefenokee Swamp, upon the Georgia/Florida border, where yet more talking animals have been reported..."
The talking animals of Okeefenokee Swamp appear in Walt Kelly's comic strip Pogo (1941-1973).
"Higher up the coast, in Carolina, it appears that youthful ingenuity is prized with both South Carolina's Readestown..."
This is a reference to the dime novel Edisonade Frank Reade and his son, Frank Reade, Jr., and his grandson, Frank Reade III. Frank Reade was created by Harold Cohen and first appeared in Boys of New York #28 (1876). Frank Reade and his kin were brilliant boy inventors who used their steam- and later electric-powered inventions and vehicles to enrich themselves and kill vast members of non-WASPs. For more information on the Edisonades and Frank Reade, see the Frank Reade entry on my Fantastic Victoriana site.
"...and North Carolina's Wrightstown named for rival boy inventors..."
Wrightstown is a reference to dime novel Edisonade Jack Wright, who was created by Luis Senarens and first appeared in Boys' Star Library #216 (1891). Like Frank Reade, Jr., who Wright was friendly rivals with, Jack Wright was an ingenious boy inventor who used his electricity-powered vehicles to enrich himself, adventure around the world, and kill people who didn't look like him. In the original stories Wrightstown was only an hour's train ride north of New York City. Eric Reehl suggests that "perhaps Moore moved Wrightstown to North Carolina as a reference to the Wright Brothers' first airplane flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina." For more information on Jack Wright, see the Jack Wright entry on my Fantastic Victoriana site.
"...while neighbouring Bayport has found fame within the last few years as home to many mysteries requiring intervention by teen-aged youths for their solution."
Bayport is the home of teen-aged sleuths Frank and Joe Hardy, aka the Hardy Boys, created by Edward Stratemeyer and Leslie McFarlane and debuting in The Tower Treasure (1926).
"In Virginia, various local authors (such as Musgrave, Kennaston and Townsend, all of Fairview, close to Lichfield)..."
These individuals appear in James Branch Cabell's The Cream of the Jest (1917).
"...have referred to local legends that concern a hunting party of three men that set out from the Jamestown colony during January, 1610, of whom no trace was ever found, save for a journal which tells how the hunters stumbled on 'a terrible Place' and concludes with the disturbing entry 'Staires! We have found staires!'"
This frightening event appears in Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves (2000).
"A little north, in Maryland, stands the spectacular estate of Arnheim..."
Arnheim was created by Edgar Allan Poe and appears in The Domain of Arnheim (1847).
"...the dismal ruins of the Usher property..."
This is a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" (1839).
"...near Philadelphia...are the remains of Mettingen..."
Mettingen appears in Charles Brockden Brown's Wieland or the Transformation (1798).
"...the eerily dilapidated summer-houses in the swamp called Gone-Away Lake, close to Creston..."
Gone-Away Lake is from Elizabeth Enright's Gone-Away Lake (1957).
"...the reported talking pigs and other animals of upstate Centerboro..."
This is a reference to Walter R. Brooks' "Freddy the Pig" books, the first of which was To and Again (1927).
"...to the river Island of the Fay..."
The Island of the Fay was created by Edgar Allan Poe and appeared in "The Island of the Fay" (1845).
"...the allegedly-haunted town of Sleepy Hollow..."
Sleepy Hollow is from Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" (1820).
Page 32. "...the small Dutch settlement famed for its well-known case of genuine suspended animation, one Van Winkle..."
This is a reference to Rip Van Winkle, who was created by Washington Irving and appeared in "Rip Van Winkle" (1820).
"...the nearby town of Hadleyburg, formerly famous for its decency, has only known shame since its much-deserved humiliation by a passing stranger during 1899."
This is a reference to Mark Twain's The Man Who Corrupted Hadleyburg (1899).
"Close to New York City is Roadtown..."
Roadtown is from Edgar Chambless' Roadtown (1910).
"...while in New York itself a basement of unknown location is believed to be the resting place of Flatland, an entirely flat environment in which live two-dimensional beings..."
Flatland was created by Edwin A. Abbott and appeared in Flatland (1884). Jonathan Carter says, "Rudy Rucker wrote a short story called 'Message Found in a Copy of Flatland,' which says that Flatland is located in the basement of a restaurant. However, this restaurant is in London. If that's what Moore is thinking of, I don't know why he changed the location."
"Neighbouring Connecticut is unremarkable save for the proverbially pretty and agreeable womenfolk to be found in the small town of Stepford..."
Stepford and the very pretty women, who actually robots, appear in Ira Levin's The Stepford Wives (1972).
"...the matriarchal settlement of Coradine in Scotland..."
Coradine is from W.H. Hudson's A Crystal Age (1887).
"...the old colonial city of Arkham..."
Arkham is from the various "Cthulhu Mythos" stories of H.P. Lovecraft.
"...the feared property in nearby Maine owned by a terrible munitions dealer named (I think) Belasco..."
Belasco and the feared property in Maine are from Richard Matheson's Hell House (1971).
"...the area surrounding the town of Jerusalem's Lot that has developed an evil reputation..."
Jerusalem's Lot is from Stephen King's Salem's Lot (1975).
"...and even made a pretty-sounding village called Eastwick sound alarming..."
This is a reference to John Updike's The Witches of Eastwick (1984).
"...a Massachusetts lunatic, Whateley by name..."
This is a reference, not to Wilbur Whateley, as "Mrrutsala" corrects me, but to his grandfather "Old Wizard Whateley, from H.P. Lovecraft's "The Dunwich Horror" (1929).
"...Lucifer himself would one day 'set his cleft hoof' on the town."
This is a reference to the events of John Updike's The Witches of Eastwick.
"...magical tokens to be found at a Victorian house on Walden Street in Concord..."
Kelly Doran says,
Possibly this refers to the Concord house owned by the Hall family in Jane Langton's The Diamond in the Window (1962) and its several sequels. The plot of each book centers around seemingly-ordinary magical objects (a stained-glass window and a sinister jack-in-the-box, a swing, a stereoscope, a tattered American flag, a bike, etc.) that lead the Hall children Eleanor and Eddy, and later their stepcousin Francesca (Frankie), to magical adventures.
Todd Klein (!) confirms that this is a reference to Jane Langton.
"...'sartin talking toad-things, like,' that might be found at Whiton House on the South Shore."
This is a reference to Edward Eager's The Time Garden (1958). The "talking toad-thing" is a reference to the Natterjack, the friend of the novel's protagonists.
"As we passed a lofty and forbidding residence in rural Massachusetts that our driver called Hill House..."
This is a reference to Shirley Jackson's wonderful The Haunting of Hill House (1959), which has one of the best opening paragraphs in all of horror fiction. Mitchell Glavas notes that Mina & Allan are traveling from Eastern Mass to far Western Mass, a ride of several hours.
"...he told us of an awful-sounding lottery held in a nearby town, invariably resulting in the winner's murder..."
This is a reference to the events of Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" (1949).
"...when we passed Beaulieu, a walled town on the Miskatonic River leading into Arkham..."
The walled town of Beaulieu appears in Ralph Adams Cram's Walled Towns (1919).
"...a peculiar dream-territory accessible from certain (or perhaps I should say 'sartin') places in or around Arkham..."
This is a reference to the Dreamlands of H.P. Lovecraft, from (among other places) "The Silver Key" (1929).
"...the architecturally peculiar 'Witch House'..."
The Witch House is a reference to H.P. Lovecraft's "Dreams in the Witch-House" (1933).
"...Arkham's Miskatonic University..."
Miskatonic University appears in or is referred to in many of Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos stories.
"...a scholar, a young man said to have some knowledge of this world of dreams, named Randolph Carter."
Randolph Carter appears in four H.P. Lovecraft stories, "The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath," "The Silver Key," "The Statement of Randolph Carter," and "Through the Gates of the Silver Key." In three of these stories Randolph Carter visits the Dreamlands.
"Allan seemed perplexed, saying he recognized the name from somewhere..."
Allan recognizes Randolph Carter because of the events of "Allan and the Sundered Veil" from the first League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series.
"...citing a talking cat that had been seen on Mulberry Street in nearby Springfield..."
The talking cat, and a great many other things besides, are seen on Mulberry Street in Dr. Seuss' And to Think I Saw it on Mulberry Street (1937). But Todd Klein (!) disagrees: "the talking cat of Springfield is meant to be The Cat In The Hat, which Alan decided was nasty enough to be Lovecraftian."
"...the dream-world town of Ulthar."
Ulthar appears in H.P. Lovecraft's "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" (1948). Carter thinks that the talking cat is from Ulthar because the citizens of Ulthar are cats. Tim Driscoll, Andrew McLean and John Toon, among others, points out that I somehow forgot Lovecraft's "The Cats of Ulthar" (1920).
"...I stood almost naked in a derelict and filthy room..."
This event is shown in "Allan and the Sundered Veil" in League v1 #5.
