'Sticks' is a short story by horror fiction writer Karl Edward Wagner, first published in the March 1974 issue of Whispers.[1] It has been reprinted in several anthologies, including the revised edition of Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, indicating that it is part of the Cthulhu Mythos genre.
While on a fishing trip in the Adirondack Mountains, horror illustrator Colin Leverett encounters an old abandoned house surrounded by bizarre stick formations. Enthusiastically sketching the strange constructions, he enters the house and is attacked by a lich in the basement, from whom he narrowly escapes. Many years later, Leverett is contacted by a descendant of a famous horror author, H. Kenneth Allard (supposedly based on H.P. Lovecraft), who hires him to illustrate a volume of Allard's previously unpublished stories. When Leverett decides to base the illustrations on his old sketches of the stick lattices, he is unwittingly drawn into a supernatural conspiracy of potentially apocalyptic magnitude.
The mysterious lattices of twigs were inspired by the work of Weird Tales artist Lee Brown Coye, who illustrated two Carcosa Press volumes which Wagner edited: Manly Wade Wellman's Worse Things Waiting and Hugh B. Cave's Murgunstrumm and Others (the latter volume appeared some years after 'Sticks' was written).

Nov 10, 2015 Karl Edward Wagner was a complex figure, a giant in both the horror and sword-and-sorcery genres, but one whose battles with alcohol stopped him from building on the promise of his early work. While his body of horror stories is small, with his later work sometimes disappointing, he wrote more genuine classics of the genre than most writers.

'Sticks' was also the inspiration for the lattice stick structures in the HBO show 'True Detective'.
Adaptations[edit]
In the mid-1980s, 'Sticks' was adapted for The Cabinet of Dr. Fritz, a 1984–85 binauralradio drama series produced by Thomas Lopez and the ZBS Foundation for NPR. Some characters from the short story are excised entirely, while a love interest for Leverett is introduced as a foil. Steven Keats provides the voice of Colin Leverett, while Laura Esterman and Bill Raymond perform as Carol and George/Althol respectively. The soundtrack is composed by Tim Clark.[2]
In June 2019, Britishsynthwave band Kish Kollektiv released an imaginary soundtrack concept album broadly inspired by 'Sticks', entitled 'Dwellers in the Earth'. [3][4]
Critics have noted similarities between the plot of 'Sticks' and that of the film The Blair Witch Project (1999).[5][6][7]

In the first season of True Detective, do you remember those weird constructions of sticks that seemed to pop up everywhere? Well, “Sticks,” one of the stories in this book, is where those things come from. And it is only one small sign of the influence of legendary author and editor Karl Edward Wagner. Wagner was a native of Knoxville, Tennessee, and many of his best stories—particularly the early ones—are steeped in Southern atmosphere. Nier automata ost download mp3. He was, however, far from the average good ole boy himself: his father was a big wig at the TVA, and Karl earned degrees in history from Kenyon and psychiatric medicine from Chapel Hill. He soon decided, however, that he despised physicians and detested psychiatry, and therefore abandoned medicine for writing.
