1. I thought, the last couple of days, I was getting to that "pulling myself back together" place, having had two halfway decent nights of of sleep without fucking Ambien. Not enough sleep, no, but no hypnotics, either. Then, this morning, at four-thirty I was still awake, so I took half a pill. At 5:45, still awake, I took another half. I got the ( Read more... )

I haven't seen it yet, but why not argue about merits? Arguing is fun.

Arguing is fun.

No, it's not. Not for me.

I must argue with you about that.

Is it possible to order the special edition of "The Mammoth Book of the Best New Horror: Two Decades of Dark Fiction" anywhere? I can only find what seems to be a normal edition...

The cover for your upcoming book, The Ammonite Violin, is wonderful. Subterranean Press set out an email to tease us... as if we might not be counting the days until it will finally be in our hands. I can hardly wait.

I hope your bout of insomnia will end soon. I wish you, amazing sleep on a regular basis.

I just recently started seeing a rather remarkable young lady who has quite a diverse interest in reading but loves weird fiction--in particular Clive Barker and Stephen King's more bizarre stuff. So I introduced her to Silk and Threshold, and I think I've got her hooked. :) She loved Threshold, so I'm thinking I've got a keeper here....She's on The Red Tree now. I am busy proselytizing in your name!

Oh, I just noticed the reply in your post!

Well, I was just musing outloud cause I had time to kill until class. I was mostly just reflecting on the fact that, for me, sometimes it feels like if I believe one thing about the universe at large, as opposed to another, it's the difference between being able to face the day and slipping into a crippling depression.

So, because of that, since I need to be able to face the day to survive, I guess I just see it as... I need to believe one thing over another.

It's not to say I refuse to acknowledge the truth in front of me... I'm more or less talking about answers to presently unanswerable questions. I'm not a psychologist. I don't know why people do what they do, I can only guess. =/
