2/2 I never send it to him and lost it while moving...
He made me understand people so much easier, so much more real, before that, I looked on people with confusion, not understanding why they acted so differently from what I thought was morally right.
He opened my eyes & to this day I am thankful for this.
Over 30 years later.

The other Book I come back to is an Audiobook I listen to almost every evening since my 16. birthday.
The Cthulhu Mythos by H.P. Lovecraft red by David Nathan. I don't like horror, I don't support Lovecrafts racism and I don't think that the Audiobooks whitewashed attempt of the "narrator Lovecraft" plea for redemption really has a basis in reality, but something about the Cthulhu Mythos world itself makes me feel cozy right at home...
What ever that says about me.🤷🏽‍♂️

Just in case: I hate fascism, racism, sexism, ableism, genderism etc the only -ism I support is antifascism.

Derek Caelin is writing a book

Years on, my memory of #Fez is that it invokes a postive inversion of H.P. #Lovecraft's eldrich multiverse horror.

Lovecraft told us our world rested above a dark, terrifying, incomprehensible universe of madness. A single filament layer was all that divides us from an infinite scape of terror.

Fez presents a happy world and then reveals that there is more to explore, brimming over with color and music and people and mystery, just beneath it. And more beyond that, and so on.

“The current strength of Scottish weird fiction has its roots in Lindsay’s surreal & stricken work … Lindsay ought to be considered alongside writers like Arthur Machen, William Hope Hodgson & HP Lovecraft as one of the great proponents of cosmic horror.”

The Bottle Imp · Many Worlds: David Lindsay and alternative realities - The Bottle ImpAlthough his two greatest works, A Voyage to Arcturus (1920) and The Haunted Woman (1922) were re-issued as Canongate Classics in the 1980s, the work of David Lindsay has never achieved either the critical or popular acclaim he deserves. Born in 1876 in Lewisham, his parents came from Jedburgh and he spent much of his childhood there. His life […]

And if anyone out there finds themselves thinking, "you know what would be awesome? A knockoff Shadowrun comic set in #Wales?" I've got you. Presenting the web comic answer to that Aldi Colin the Caterpillar cake they got sued for:

Circlepunk, my monthly comic set in Swansea just after Britain has thrown off decades of a fascist government. Can a bodiless spirit, bound into the corpse of a tortured woman wreak vengeance for herself and find an escaped scientist from the regime?
