Who do you blame when all your dreams come true?

Fortunately not in person, ap_aelfwine just introduced me to Jack Parsons. I cannot imagine how I never heard of him before, but between the rocket science, the moonchild, and the fulminate of mercury, there's a beautiful secret history here. Has someone alerted Tim Powers?

I am so looking forward to PJ Harvey's new album, and not just because its songs are titled things like "Cracks in the Canvas" and "The Crow Knows Where All the Little Children Go."

This is merely lovely: death (and vampirism) in Venice.

"To kill the vampire you had to remove the shroud from its mouth, which was its food like the milk of a child, and put something uneatable in there," Mr Borrini said. "It's possible that other corpses have been found with bricks in their mouths, but this is the first time the ritual has been recognised."

The Marvel: A Biography of Jack Parsons

That is awesome. Is it collected in print anywhere?

(And I thought PJ Harvey was just in this post by proximity.)

I've lain with the Devil
Cursed God above
Forsaken Heaven
To bring you my love . . .

"That is awesome. Is it collected in print anywhere?"

To my knowledge, that is in the works.

(This is why I keep trying to get you and Caitlin out to Vancouver Island. I figure between the 3 of us, we could get the Babalon Working right ... :->)

I'm working on it! Actually you can expect to see "The Marvel" in print by the end of the year. Robin is just finishing up the artwork now. His genius takes time!
Thanks for the kind words, also.

That is very good news. "The Marvel" is a fitting tribute in memory of a man I love and admire greatly. Is there any way to sign up for a pre-sale copy? If so, let me know where and how. And thanks.

Thank you! For the information and the novel both; I am enjoying it very much online, but print and ink is my favorite.

I'll post the ordering details to my website and lj as soon as I have them. The print version will have a lot more story to it, and some surprises that I didn't post online.
