This, to me, equals awesome, though I understand many of you won't diggit.

If you diggit, comment, plz.

did you cop it before or after he passed in 1999?

[chadu]

After. Prolly in 2001... I bet his estate sold his library of books to DV, and that's how it happened.

Dave Gross checked this out at my recommendation and said, "Chad is now under the supreme obligation to write a horror novel that starts that way."

[chadu]

Explicate more.

(What, a horror story starting with Del Close's skull -- as Yorick -- suddenly speaking? Not a bad opening.)

Dude!

[majcher]

Ha! That's pretty sweet.

I'd offer to buy it from you, but that would be crass.

[chuk_g]

Yeah, he should totally eBay it instead.

The best parts of Wasteland were his autobiographical ones. They had a horror that was far more tandible than most of the fictional stuff.
