Oh, I was informed by Robert Morrish that Thrillers 2 should be out from Cemetery Dance Publications before the end of the year. He's proving a difficult old fart to dress. I adore this tale, with its sublime language, masterful suggestion, and echoes of Lovecraft's 'The Colour Out of Space.' If ever I were to edit a collection of the most important Weird tales of the late 20th Century, 'The Shadow at the Bottom of the World' would definitely be included. Later, I read yet more Angela Carter, 'Master' (1974), followed by Thomas Ligotti's 'The Shadow at the Bottom of the World' (from Grimscribe: His Life and Works, 1991). At last, finally, we are rid of Vincent! I loved Jeffrey's dress, and Uli's, too. Later, after warming up Tuesday's stoup, we watched Mythbusters and Project Runway. The latter is proving a delight, as it examines the connection between Lovecraft's mythology of alien 'gods' visiting earth and shaping the course of human history with the ancient-astronaut and lost-civilization 'theories' of various New Age and pseudosceintific crazes. Lovecraft and Extraterrestrial Pop Culture by Jason Colavito (Prometheus Books, 2005). Cooper Square Press, 2002), and The Cult of Alien Gods: H. Brown (Rutledge Hill Press, 1991), Lovecraft at Last: The Master of Horror in His Own Words (Willis Conover, ed. I came back with Lizzie Borden: The Legend, the Truth, the Final Chapter by Arnold R. I read more Angela Carter, 'Peter and the Wolf' (1982), and we made a trip over to Emory's Woodruff Library. and did another 833 words on 'Untitled 23,' which I hope to finish today. Now, if only my books from Roc would sell as well as my books from subpress remember, you can order Daughter of Hounds with Alabaster from for only $27.20.

And yesterday, Bill Schafer of subpress e-mailed to tell me that the book is selling well. GreygirlbeastColleen Mondor has written a very nice review of Alabaster for Bookslut.
