Been reading greygirlbeast's new book To Charles Fort, With Love, and it's amazing.

All of you go out and buy it, Right Now.

That is all.

To Charles Fort, With Love

Not only by who(m), but about what? Sometimes I don't really get all the stuff you talk about, being not so much into philosophy and all... Can I have like, a genre or one sentence tagline or something?

Fixed. It's Caitlín Kiernan. :)

Fixed now.

It's a collection of short horror stories, about things that are Damned, in the Charles Fort sense, meaning wrong, or out of place.

The simple, provacative horror of a puddle, where no puddle should be, or, in the case of a nightmare i had once, the light striking the inside of a train just so, while a man walks to ward you, whistling at Just such a pitch.

Perfectly normal and completely wrong things.

I shall get it. Also, ironically, that's who I guessed for the author. And I'm often out of the loop. Lol. For once, Emma gets it. Teheh

She's an awesome writer. Not enough people know about her. Checj out her journal, for updates, and such.

I do, on occassion. Sometimes I browse YOUR friends page, looking for interesting people. You do know some of the best. Lol. Which is where I found elioraceit through whom I found buckthorn which has turned out quite well =p But yeah, I 've read her entries now and again, which is how I guessed she'd be the author, if it was a user on here. =)

*waaaaay too much free time in the middle of the night*

*doesn't mind*

Makes sense, really.

Also, a lot of people seem to do that. Read my friends page, to find people... It's a little creepy.

But i like it.
