I'll make no apologies for the tone of yesterday's post. There are no regrets. I will only offer an opaque excuse, that I have been made a party to what is, in my estimation, a sickening tragedy. One that could have easily been prevented. One I tried to prevent. And now I will carry the fact of it in my head for years ( Read more... )

Yeah. Mellivora capensis works for me.

Can hardly wait to see Drowning Girl. Any chance of a hint on what it's about?

See, if you subscribed to Sirenia Digest, you'd have read the first two chapters by now.

It's about a schizophrenic girl, and art, and the nature of hauntings.

Because the author has chosen to use parody in her or his approach HPL, and that's just not my thing.

I really hate parodies of Lovecraft. They come across as cynical, condescending and arch.

I'm really digging the Book of Cthulhu--way better than your average Lovecraftian antho, so far. My favorites to date have been the Stross, the Tanzer, and, well, the opener--very nicely done, and thank you for it!

Wow--thank you so much for the generous remarks!
