"Please find my harborcoat."

And here it is the second of Hallowe'en, and on this day one year ago I was in Portland, Oregon, Guest of Honoring for the Lovecraft Film Festival. In fact, on this night a year ago I gave the speech that was recently published in the fifth issue of The Lovecraft Annual. I'm having one of those "How can a year have already come and gone?" days.

Spooky described them as the lovechild of David Sylvian, Brenden Perry, and Sixteen Horsepower.

Damn, that sounds like a truly amazing band. I will seek them out. Thanks for the recommendation.

You're welcome.

Oh, they do sound good, and I've wanted a harmonium since I got into Nico.

I, obviously, spend way too much time thinking about these things--but I feel like Lansdale's a writer who's about to shift from being "old guard" to being "vanguard," as if he's always been perceived as a different sort of writer than the writer he really is ( ... )

Re: Lansdale greygirlbeast October 2 2011, 21:26:07 UTC

Um. I just like his writing.

You know how to read. Most people who buy books don't know how to read, even when they look at every single letter in order.

Re: Lansdale greygirlbeast October 2 2011, 21:55:34 UTC

This is true.

Same with most people who RP. Most of them do not even know how to watch moves.

And a there was an email from Gary K. Wolfe that actually managed to make me happy.

I'm glad the circuitry still works!

Counting down til' #70 of the Digest drops. Seriously its my favorite time of the month :) Just bought back issue #57 and I'm loving "Fairytale of the Maritime," it also has one of my favorite Vince Locke illustrations for the Digest.

It'll be a double dose of cosmic goodness if I get my deluxe copy of Two Worlds And In Between this week as well. I'll finally get to read "Daughter of the Four of Pentacles" and "From Cabinet 34, Drawer 6" which I'm very excited for as well as getting to see "Night Story (1973)" reprinted, it is one of your finest stories and the collaboration with Poppy Z. Brite only sweetens the deal.

I think that was one of those where we reversed things, and I wrote a story for his picture.

I'm flattered.

Now be nice to spiders.
