==== Scholarly articles and out of date print publications discussing [[Swan Song (novel)]] ====
{{resolved}}
I'm starting a major revamp of the article in question and have identified several possible sources discussing themes, style, etc. in google books and scholar searches. For most of these, I am able to find enough in the google books hits to form my text and citations. I have identified one specific source from a feminism related science publication that is only [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6VBD-4695GXY-1T&_user=10&_coverDate=12%2F31%2F1991&_rdoc=20&_fmt=high&_orig=browse&_srch=doc-info%28%23toc%235924%231991%23999859994%23325867%23FLP%23display%23Volume%29&_cdi=5924&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_ct=36&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=e363917043116fb9f76bb329e205eff1 available via a paid reprint here]. I'm hoping someone has access to the article in question and can provide the text that discusses the book and the info I would need to cite it.
 
Additionally, I would be happy for more detailed info if anyone has access to Science Fiction, Fantasy, or Horror annual reviews from that time period (book was published in 1987 and I've found references to it in these types of publications as late as 1990). I'm interested in anything notable that reviewed the book in general and/or discussed themes and the style of writing. As an example, one literary review I saw in a google search noted that this book shared a theme with several other novels of that time involving evil shapeshifters in horror fiction. The source in question discussed this as being a relatively new theme to the genre at the time. You can see this example [http://books.google.com/books?id=EJ2BvOQUf0oC&pg=PA19&dq=swansong+robert+r.+Mccammon&hl=en&ei=SiVbTLTlLpTCsAO7qbHmDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=14&ved=0CIUBEOgBMA0#v=onepage&q=%22swan%20song%22&f=false here] (scroll to reference on page 29).
 
You can contact me here on wikipedia and also via the "email this user" function. For some reason, I don't always get emails sent to me this way so if anyone attempts to email me, please drop me a line on my talk page to warn me to expect something. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

:[https://sites.google.com/site/droptone/TheHorrorofitall.pdf Here] is the one worthwhile item from the major databases that I found. If you have any other exact requests, I can work on those. Otherwise, I've got nothing.--[[User:Droptone|droptone]] ([[User talk:Droptone|talk]]) 17:02, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 
I think between those two items and the astonishing boatload of articles the author has archived on his own website (where he blissfully notes sources of each original publication) I should be good to go. On the off chance anyone is interested in this particular project and wants to help/follow my floundering through it, I'm keeping my notes [[User:Millahnna/Sandbox//Swan_Song_(novel) |here]]. Right now it's just a ton of links with occasional notes as to why I feel they might be relevant. Thanks bunches, Bilby and Droptone.
