Yukon versus the Bumble<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Those who hunger for Yultide fables with a different spin can find such here in the archives of\u00a0The Cimmerian<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Steve Tompkins began the tradition in 2007 with\u00a0“Bumbles Pounce<\/a>,” a Howardian\/Londonian (with touches of CAS and HPL)\u00a0take on Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer<\/em> from Rankin-Bass.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2008, Tompkins followed up with “Night Falls in Whoheim<\/a>,” wherein Tompk retold the tale of Seuss’ Grinch. Sly nods ranged from Beowulf<\/em> to CAS’ “The Seven Geases.”<\/p>\n

This year, TC blogger [redacted] carried on the tradition with “Walking in the Air, with Burning Feet of Fire.” This one is\u00a0very loosely based on Raymond Briggs’ holiday classic, The Snow Man<\/em>, paying homage to REH’s\u00a0James Allison yarns<\/a>, as well as Blackwood’s “The Wendigo.”<\/p>\n

Good reading and a merry Christmas to all.<\/p>\n
