That's why, when I attend WHC, I never go to the Gross Out contest, because it holds absolutely no interest for one who loves quaint and emotional horror. I didn't bother getting John Pelan's Mythos novel publish'd by Cemetery Dance either, because I heard it was a gore-fest. Yet I know this kind of writing is extremely popular (and I'm learning just how popular thanx to your introducing me to The Haunt social site). I'm interested in Ed's book because he writes extremely well, and if one can get past the extreme language and gore, one finds a brilliant writer, a fine writer. An original.<BR/><BR/>I can highly recommend the Lovecraft art book from Centipede Press. I was given a copy of the $395 edition as an advance on my forthcoming omnibus, and it is simply mind-numbing in its beauty and presentation. If you love Lovecraftian art you simply should not be without it. It has inspir'd me to try and make my own forthcoming collection from Centipede artful in a Decadent Yellow Nineties kind of way -- & I have ask'd Jerad Walters for the boards of my hardcover to be shockingly YELLOW. I have always wanted to be the author of a Yellow Book, such as Wilde has corrupt Dorian Gray in his novel.<BR/>;-}Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
