The World Fantasy Award, since 1975, presented annually at the World Fantasy Convention. It was broadcast on National Public Radio on Hallowe’en 1982 and was to have been produced for the short lived television series, Darkroom.
The story has been anthologized numerous times and translated into several languages. It won the British Fantasy Award and was a runner-up in the World Fantasy Award for best short fiction. To my surprise, “Sticks” became one of my best known and best liked stories. I wrote the story as a favour (1) and tribute to Lee, and I never expected it to be read by anyone beyond the thousand or so fans who read Whispers. “Sticks” is shot through with in-jokes and references which the serious fantasy/horror fan will recognize. Coye had described the events upon which “Sticks” was based to me, and when Stuart David Schiff decided to bring out a special Lee Brown Coye issue of Whispers, I stole time from my final few months of medical school to write a story inspired by Coye’s experiences. No returns.Karl Edward Wagner remembered: The story is really Lee Brown Coye’s and is about Lee Brown Coye, as the Afterword explains. The dust jacket has a protective plastic wrap book-cover.
