Crazy fucking cold here today. Indeed, I haven't felt this sort of cold since last March, when we were staying in Neil's mountain cabin and a wendigo knocked out the power the night before I had to be in Manhattan for a reading. Currently, here in Providence we still have a windchill warning - third day, I think - and the temperature is only 1˚F, ( Read more... )

Side Two of Kate Bush's The Hounds of Love (1985), which is actually The Ninth Wave, is one of the most amazing things ever, ever put to vinyl.
Absolutely; "Hello Earth" never fails to give me chills, it is just so astoundingly profound and yet so emotionally honest and direct.

Good reading while the cold rages. ext_1285666 February 14 2016, 22:38:00 UTC
While I look forward to your upcoming book from Centipede Press, the home of beautiful books, I am enjoying, short story by short story, the writing of C. E. Ward. I have just begun his new book, Malevolent Visitations, while I trip back and forth to his other two books, Vengeful Ghosts; and Seven Ghosts and One Other. His books are difficult to find but well worth it.

I imagine it will be at least 6 months before your Houses Under The Sea: Mythos Tales, comes out from Centipede. I had a copy of Alabaster: Pale Horses and I misplaced it so I ordered another. It may turn up but that's what happens when you have too many books. If there is such a thing as too many books.

In some cases, stories were revised for each reprinting (and some have been reprinted numerous times). No story is ever finished.

I am a believer in the artist's right to alter their own work past work, even if the artist does add in an unnecessary cgi dewback or two.
