Thanks for Sirenia #65. 'The Carnival is Dead and Gone' is an eye-opener. It's disturbing, yeah, but it didn't horrify me. The 'World Cunt' was repulsive at first, then kind of sad in a way I can't describe. And The Wheel: whoa. Kind of sexy, if you look at it with the right eye.
Also, Hutter's artwork is fucking amazing.
I've almost finished Under the Poppy, and will be on a mission to share it with as many people as possible!

It's a weird trick, making the weird sexy, and finding the extraordinarily perverse.
Ah, "Winter's Bone." A very nice movie. And one that reminds me of my family on the Eastern Short. Hmmm... Reminds me of family in Newfoundland as well.
Just kidding. They're not so bad. Not like that at least. At least no one in either place is making crank.
For some reason "Winter's Bone" always makes me think of "The White Ribbon." Another good one.
It brought back lots of memories of growing up in southern Appalachia. Only, back then, it was moonshine and, rarely, pot that were the drugs people made/grew. Horrid shit like meth had not yet infected the culture.
"And if it strikes you odd that vampires, werewolves, demons, ghouls, and the people who spend time in their company, would be a foul-mouthed, unpleasant lot, this book is not for you."
That made me giggle because that's all I expect from the lot in those categories. I grow suspicious when I'm reading something that has no swearing and everyone seems pleasant, but the characters have a lot to do with death and violence (and as par for the course usually, sex.)

It's amazing the people who read books about violence and monsters, but complain about profanity.

Alas, I doubt that bit will see print.

Rift looks lovely, though I'm pretty certain my computer would have something to say about it, mostly streams of computer-y invective.

Oh, wow, thank you for reminding me of Bel Canto and of Projekt's old Heavenly Voices compilations.
You're welcome.

It does have some hefty specs.
