Oooh, I got that from the library after I bought Alabastar, Wolves. Will look forward to owning a copy.

I don't blame you for the digital-free week in the slightest. I'm sorely tempted myself: Facebook in particular is such a horrendous waste of perfectly good oxygen locked up in the greenhouse gases produced in powering it. It's worthless for business since only a tiny fraction of customers can even see a business page without paying through the nose, and the personal feeds are full of nothing but the same political memes pretending to be activism. I'm done.

I will admit that, though I have 3008 FB "friends," I never look at any page but my own.

I still have my portable typewriter that I got in 1969.

Early in 2014, Dark Horse will be releasing Alabaster: Pale Horse, a new edition of the original Alabaster short-story collection (2006, 2010, Subterranean Press). It'll include the contents of the original plus "Highway 97" (originally available only as a chapbook), with illustrations by the dashing Ted Naifeh and a cover my the magnificent Greg Ruth.

That is extremely cool.

Also, I'm gearing up for a digital-free week. No internet. No MMOs. No email. No Twitter. No Facebook. No LJ. No iPod.

You should have my phone number if you want to get hold of me, and I hope it's a good week.

Yup.

I'm wondering if I can find a rotary phone.

If you have a ground line to splice the wires into, I don't see why you shouldn't.

No ground line currently. That could be remedied. Hell, I only just barely have a cell phone.
