this evening, last evening.

fire: check.
fun: check.
book: check.
must be a good evening.

Read The Great and Secret Show and The Damnation Game by Clive Barker Saturday evening. No responsibility is taken for the damage to the psyche caused by looking at Barker's silly beard.

They were, despite Barker's crap-ass beard, excellent books. I haven't read much of the horror genre in the last couple of years.

had fun with a beta lj client earlier, some friends list wackiness resulted. things seem to be back to normal. wrote papers most of the day. whee.

If you liked Great and Secret Show, check out Everville. You'll love it.

is there a third book in that series? small amounts of bibliographic research suggest not.

Not yet, though he talked about it for a while. When he took off on the Abarat series he kind of shelved a bunch of earlier stuff. In theory there is also a sequel to Cabal lurkign in the wings. I recently reread Damnation Game and was impressed. I enjoyed it in the past and still do, but I think one of the reasons his stuff is still in print is the quality of the writing. Pulp horror it ain't.

he really does have a crap ass beard, in re: discussions on the forum.

No, Everville pretty much ends it.

I just read Great and Secret Show again recently too. Not as mind-poppingly excellent as when I was 15, but still pretty damn cool.

Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you. Getting over this cold (I still sound like I had a pack of cigarettes for breakfast) plus SMF and associated studies totally ate my weekend.

Still wanna try doing the movie? I'm busy tonight, but maybe later this week? I think my Friday's open.

Yeah, let's do Friday. I am free.
