Yesterday was a falling down day. I'm not going to list all the reasons why. There's nothing new there. But it meant I didn't write. I spent three hours working on a jigsaw puzzle of Claude Monet's La Japonaise (1876). At the kitchen sink, I washed the rest of the Murray's Superior pomade out of my hair; grease-cutting dish-washing detergent was required. I took Klonopin and dozed, trying to shut out the noise behind my eyes. I watched TV. Spooky got dinner from Pizzaria Gusto on Broadway. I ate. I endured the night until I was finally able to go to sleep about 2:30 a.m.
Today, I have to get back to work on "Untitled Psychiatrist #2," as the digest is now officially late.
If you've not yet purchased a copy of Agents of Dreamland, I ask that you do so today. Or purchase a second and send it to a friend or family member. At the moment, it's ranked 6,967th in books on Amazon. I hope it goes higher. And I have some Agents of Dreamland links:
~ A review at New York Review of Books by Barry Lee Dejasu
~ A review at Tor.com by Brit Mandelo, "On the Cosmic Scale: Agents of Dreamland by Caitlín R. Kiernan"
~ Another piece at Tor.com, discussing both Agents of Dreamland and Kij Johnson's The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe, "Sleeps With Monsters: Lovecraftian Cruelty and Kindness" by Liz Bourke"
And that's all I have for now. Please feel free to comment on the book here.
Also, please have a look at the current eBay auctions.
Resistance, Peace, and Compassion,
Aunt Beast
