![]() Unfortunately, I had forgotten far too much to make any kind of interesting comparison between the two versions of this story. I remembered enough to stay a few pages ahead of the plot, but I had forgotten enough to stay interested. It was certainly long enough to allow me to enjoy the story again. I felt like that would be enough time to put myself in the frame of mind that would allow me to both enjoy the story for a second time without it being too repetitive and to be able to remember enough of one version to compare it to the other. I had really enjoyed Our Lady of Darkness, but I didn’t feel the need to read another version of it straight away. A few days after I published my post on Our Lady of Darkness, a kind soul emailed me scans of the two editions of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction that featured Leiber. Leiber later claimed that this version, titled The Pale Brown Thing, could be read as an alternative telling of the same story rather than just a draft version of Our Lady of Darkness. While writing about that book, I discovered that an earlier version of the story had been published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. ![]() ![]() ![]() Late last year, I read Fritz Leiber’s Our Lady of Darkness.
