Richard Marsh (author) Richard Marsh (12 October 1857 – 9 August 1915) was the pseudonym of the English author born Richard Bernard Heldmann. A best-selling and prolific author of the late 19th century and the Edwardian period, Marsh is best known now for his supernatural thriller novel "The Beetle", which was published the same year as Bram Stoker's "Dracula" (1897), and was initially even more popular.

Many of these have been republished recently, beginning with "The Beetle" in 2004. Marsh's grandson Robert Aickman was a notable writer of short "strange stories".

Another collection of short stories about robots, "I, Robot", was re-published in the previous year, which is why Asimov chose to title the collection as "The Rest of the Robots".

Vacuum Diagrams Vacuum Diagrams is a collection of science fiction short stories by British writer Stephen Baxter. The collection connects the novels of the Xeelee Sequence and also shows the history of mankind in the Xeelee universe, and ultimately the universe.

"Eve" acts as a structure for the short stories, with an introduction at the beginning of "Vacuum Diagrams", short scenes occurring between each "era" (with "Eve" character explaining and introducing the next section), and an ending that wraps up the plot for the "Eve" story itself. "Vacuum Diagrams" won the Philip K. Dick Award in 1999.

Weezer's self-titled debut studio album, often referred to as "The Blue Album", was released in May 1994 through DGC Records. The album was a huge commercial success, peaking at number 16 on the US "Billboard" 200 and spawning the singles "Undone – The Sweater Song" and "Buddy Holly", both of which were responsible for launching Weezer into mainstream success with the aid of music videos directed by Spike Jonze. It has sold 3.3 million copies in the United States and has been certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), becoming the band's best selling album to date.

Dostoevsky and Parricide "Dostoevsky and Parricide" (German: "Dostojewski und die Vatertötung" ) is an introductory article contributed by Sigmund Freud to a scholarly collection on "The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The collection was published in 1928. The article argues that it is no coincidence that some of the greatest works of world literature - including "Oedipus Rex", "Hamlet", as well as "The Brothers Karamazov" – all concern parricide, which in Dostoevsky's case Freud links to his epilepsy.
Critical approaches to Hamlet From its premiere at the turn of the 17th century, "Hamlet" has remained Shakespeare's best-known, most-imitated, and most-analyzed play. The character of Hamlet played a critical role in Sigmund Freud's explanation of the Oedipus complex and thus influenced modern psychology. Even within the narrower field of literature, the play's influence has been strong. As Foakes writes, "No other character's name in Shakespeare's plays, and few in literature, have come to embody an attitude to life [...] and been converted into a noun in this way."
The Assault on Truth The Assault on Truth: Freud's Suppression of the Seduction Theory is a book by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, in which the author argues that Sigmund Freud deliberately suppressed his early hypothesis, known as the seduction theory, that hysteria is caused by sexual abuse during infancy, because he refused to believe that children are the victims of sexual violence and abuse within their own families. Masson reached this conclusion while he had access to some of Freud's unpublished letters as projects director of the Sigmund Freud Archives. "The Assault on Truth" was first published in 1984, and several revised editions have since been published.
Peter Swales (historian) Peter J. Swales (born 1948) is a Welsh "guerilla historian of psychoanalysis", and former assistant to the Rolling Stones, who has written essays and letters about Sigmund Freud. A 1998 article in The New Republic magazine noted his "...remarkable detective work over the last 25 years, revealing the true identities of several early patients of Freud's who had been known only by their pseudonyms." He is one of three men (the others are Freud Archives director Kurt R. Eissler and psychoanalyst Jeffrey Masson) whose machinations are described in the 1984 book In The Freud Archives, which originated as two articles in The New Yorker magazine that provoked Masson to file an unsuccessful $10 million libel suit against the magazine and its writer Janet Malcolm.
The Interpretation of Dreams The Interpretation of Dreams (German: "Die Traumdeutung" ) is a 1899 book by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, in which the author introduces his theory of the unconscious with respect to dream interpretation, and discusses what would later become the theory of the Oedipus complex. Freud revised the book at least eight times and, in the third edition, added an extensive section which treated dream symbolism very literally, following the influence of Wilhelm Stekel. Freud said of this work, "Insight such as this falls to one's lot but once in a lifetime."
The Life and Work of Sigmund Freud The Life and Work of Sigmund Freud is a biography of Sigmund Freud by Ernest Jones. The most famous and influential biography of Freud, "The Life and Work of Sigmund Freud" was originally published in three volumes (first volume 1953, second volume 1955, third volume 1957); a one-volume edition abridged by literary critics Lionel Trilling and Steven Marcus followed in 1961.

Oedipus Rex Oedipus Rex, also known by its Greek title, Oedipus Tyrannus (Ancient Greek: Οἰδίπους Τύραννος IPA: [oidípuːs týranːos]), or Oedipus the King, is an Athenian tragedy by Sophocles that was first performed around 429 BC. Originally, to the ancient Greeks, the title was simply "Oedipus" ("Οἰδίπους"), as it is referred to by Aristotle in the "Poetics". It is thought to have been renamed "Oedipus Tyrannus" to distinguish it from "Oedipus at Colonus". In antiquity, the term “tyrant” referred to a ruler, but it did not necessarily have a negative connotation.
Why Freud Was Wrong Why Freud Was Wrong: Sin, Science and Psychoanalysis (1995; second edition 1996; third edition 2005) is a book by Richard Webster, in which the author provided a critique of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis. Webster argued that Freud became a kind of Messiah and that psychoanalysis is a pseudo-science and a disguised continuation of the Judaeo-Christian tradition. Webster endorsed Gilbert Ryle's arguments against mentalist philosophies in "The Concept of Mind" (1949); he also criticized many other authors for their treatment of Freud and psychoanalysis. The book for which Webster may be best remembered, "Why Freud Was Wrong" has been called "brilliant" and "definitive", but has also been criticized for shortcomings of scholarship and argument. "Why Freud Was Wrong" formed part of the "Freud wars", an ongoing controversy around psychoanalysis.
Freud: A Life for Our Time Freud: A Life for Our Time is a 1988 biography of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, by the historian Peter Gay.
