Shawn C. Baker: Chelsea Wolfe - Carrion Flowers
http://shawnbaker.blogspot.com/2015/07/chelsea-wolfe-carrion-flowers.html
Shawn C. Baker. Saturday, July 25, 2015. Chelsea Wolfe - Carrion Flowers. I had totally missed the fact that Chelsea Wolfe has a new record on the horizon ( shipping on or around August 1st! There's a gaggle of tracks floating around from Abyss (great title) but this creepy ass video is the only sneak peak I want of Ms. Wolfe's new material until I can experience it as a whole when I sit down with some intoxicants and hit play by candle light when the actual Long Player lands. Next stop, the Abyss!

The Library of Aira: July 2010
http://azolotl.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
The Library of Aira. My somewhat disjointed thoughts on books and dreams. The Fall of the House of Wanker (Guts). The story, of course, begins with a falsehood. Take in as much air as you can. This story should last about as long as you can hold your breath, and then just a little bit longer. In terms of the narrative structure, the poems are each told by the character whose story immediately follows. There are a couple of stories that are not preceded by poems, but I'll get into that later. Those people...

The Library of Aira: Behind the Green (Room) Door
http://azolotl.blogspot.com/2010/09/behind-green-room-door.html
The Library of Aira. My somewhat disjointed thoughts on books and dreams. Behind the Green (Room) Door. Thing I've ever done. If I gain it back, than it'll be like I never lived." I wonder if it's intentional for this character, so objectified and labeled by society that she has become shallow, to be portrayed in such a superficial way. Is it just poor writing, or does Palahniuk want us to know that he, too, is part of the problem? We learn that Mr. SG's parents were both product spokesmen who travel...

The Library of Aira. My somewhat disjointed thoughts on books and dreams. I was motivated to write by today's Maureen Dowd column in the New York Times, Washington Chainsaw Massacre. And it's kind of cool to see Lovecraft referenced in the New York Times, but as sometimes happens, I can't help feel it's done in a way which reinforces the image of Lovecraft as a writer who mostly just called things "indescribable" and then threw a lot of adjectives around. The passage in particular is:. To tell the truth,...

The Library of Aira. My somewhat disjointed thoughts on books and dreams. One quick note: I'm leaving Post-Production, The Nightmare Box, Poster Child and Cassandra until the end. These four stories constitute their own, separate narrative, which can be thought of as the Cassandra Sequence. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Retrotopia: Dinner, Drinks, and Hard Questions.

The Library of Aira. My somewhat disjointed thoughts on books and dreams. Review: Companions on the Road. While slightly different in theme, both or excellent works of fantasy, told with Lee's consummate skill for character, setting and pace. Ocampo: Visiones and El lecho. From Balmeek to Bote hona. Some of the more noteworthy terms:. Then again, the author of the Ramayana as a Thug might make for a nicely preposterous rewriting of history in a Da Vinci Code-style thriller centered around Thuggee. Banee ...
