Laird Barron’s review column in the new issue of “Locus”, <i>Cassilda’s Song</i> gets a rave. ‘<span class="A6"><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">2015 was a good year for horror and weird fiction
anthologies. <i>Cassilda’s Song</i><b> </b>is
an able demonstration of why. It’s also a pleasant, if macabre, signal that
the field is flourishing.’ Damien Angelica Walters, Allyson Bird, Chesya Burke,
Anya Martin, Maura McHugh, S.P. Miskowski, and Selena Chambers (‘Gorgeous, intricately
layered, and extremely strange, this piece may be the blue ribbon exhibit in an
exemplary batch.’), receive major shout outs! !! <br />
<br />
‘…this is top shelf stuff.’ <br />
<br />
‘The table of contents is exceptional not for the fact that it’s composed
entirely of women, but rather for the high level of quality.’ <br />
<br />
I’m OVERmoon to see THE CONTRIBUTORS receive this level of much-deserved praise!<br />
<br />
THXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Laird! !!<br />

set dressers, the contributors to <i>Cassilda’s
Song</i> have claimed the canon and are now the lead actors; they have created
the sets and stages and written the dialogue. They control the productions.<br /><br /><br />
There are no pretenders here. The
Daughters of the Yellow Sign, each a titan of unmasked fire in their own right,
have parted the curtains. From Hali’s deeps and Carcosa’s gloomy balconies and
Styx-black towers, come their lamentations and rage and the consequences of
intrigues and follies born in Oblivion. Run into their embrace. Their carriages
wait to take you from shadowed rooms and cobblestones to The Place Where the
Black Stars Hang. <br /><br /><br />
Have you seen the Yellow Sign? The Daughters of Carcosa know its message,
every wound and poison, and are about to reveal its gravity to you.<br />

I’ve been informed that last night, my publisher sat w/
Borges and an unnamed administrator of the CONET PROJECT, sipping a homebrewed
potion (they’d whipped up in the slopsink
of the 2<sup>nd</sup> floor bathroom), and THEY DECIDED, the only way to rack-up
sales for my new collection of weird fiction, was for de bEast to take it on
the road. Yeah, that’s right, readings in off-the-beaten-path &
hitherto-unknown libraries (where Ellroy & VanderMeer & Jean Ray [if he
was still around] and the other giants wouldn’t set foot for
hugepiles-of-dollareagles), and dusty(indie)bookstores (you know the ones you
find behind gas stations and above pawnshops that cater to the Satanik), and
the nighttime backrooms of ginmills. They also concluded these appearances should
take place in every state of The Union. So P’uuly-verre gets to take his
manycolored-show of stained translations on the road – 50 days! 50 States! Will
there be rain in Pageant, Kentucky? Grey in Spriggs, Texas? Gaudy statements,
seething w/ tragic in Soul Francisco? <span lang="EN" style="color: #141823; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Creepy, crawly in Sleepy Hollow</span>? Yup. Will I quote KEW, and tip my hat to
Goodis and C’ys-khone? Bet yer skinnybottom, I sho ‘nuff will! <br />
<br />
<br />
Maps and directions to our first shindig have been printed on (pulp-grade) handbills,
which you can find in various interstate rest rooms. Pick one up, translate it
w/ your exclusive decoder of all things hush-hush, and drop by this evening. Refreshments
will be served. <br />
<br />
<br />
We will be repeating this message, or one very similar, tomorrow, before our
next stop on the <i>House of Hollow Wounds</i> tour!<br />

<br /><br />My 4th mixed-genre collection is on the street. It has an intro and was edited, by none other than, Jeffrey "<i>PUNKTOWN</i>" Thomas. And <i>AHoHW</i> sports a haunting cover by Dani Serra! !!<br /><br /><br />
“Pulver’s skills as a post-Beat visionary are in rare form. <em>A House of Hollow Wounds</em> is a thrilling foray into the dark frontier of the weird.”—Laird Barron<br />
<br />
“The pieces assembled in <em>A House of Hollow Wounds</em> demonstrate the range of Joe Pulver’s considerable talent. . . . Like Picasso, Pulver moves restlessly, relentlessly from style to style, never content with what he has accomplished, chasing after some fabulous and deadly beast half-glimpsed around the corners of a maze. Dizzying, exhilarating stuff.”—John Langan<br />
<br />
“[Pulver] is typically compared to a Lovecraftian version of the Beats, but <em>A House of Hollow Wounds</em> is in my opinion closer in style and emotional tone to French Decadent writers such as Baudelaire, Huysmans, and Rodenbach. It’s both wildly modern and original, and yet evokes those unsettling gothic and classical ‘vast chthonic wilderness pressing agaisnt the slender marble columns of civilization’ themes that are like heroin to me. Dark, poetic, sexual, obsessive, and exquisitely hallucinatory.”—Livia Llewellyn<br /><br /><br />Over the past decade, Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. has attracted a worldwide audience for his stories, vignettes, and prose-poems—works that expand the boundaries of prose expression and evoke scintillating images of wonder, fear, terror, and heartbreak. In this fourth collection of tales, following <em>Blood Will Have Its Season</em> (2009), <em>SIN & ashes</em> (2010), and <em>Portraits of Ruin</em> (2012), we find imaginative riffs on Edgar Allan Poe, Robert W. Chambers, H. P. Lovecraft, and others—but more than that, we find the evocative melding of horror and plangency that makes Pulver the most distinctive voice in modern weird fiction.<br /><br /><br /><br />http://www.hippocampuspress.com/mythos-and-other-authors/fiction/a-house-of-hollow-wounds-by-joseph-s.-pulver-sr?zenid=b0d5d1132a3a248839add68c036197d9<br /><br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/House-Hollow-Wounds-Joseph-Pulver/dp/1614981280/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1430031205&sr=1-1&keywords=a+house+of+hollow+wounds<br /><br /><br /><br />kiy1955http://www.blogger.com/profile/10109372616647218007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157980190785309684.post-80521925716676297852015-01-14T05:11:00.000-05:002015-01-14T05:11:46.036-05:00The Children of Old LeechWord Horde's Laird Barron tribute anthology, <em>The Children of Old Leech</em>, has started showing up on BEST of the Year lists.

The releeses include avant garde, horror, bizarro, science fiction, Weird fiction, poetry, and everything in between. <br /><br />Well, seems BossKrall has one (now up for PRE-ORDER!! !) from this old bEast. Here's the details... kinda</span><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: yellow;">Rage and rain and lit-out and graves under the desert skies of the Post-Civil War, American Southwest. Ce and Johnny seen everything bad and ugly ridin’ with the Captain. Hell, they’ve even heard demons—</span></span><br /><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: yellow;"> “Teatro.” <br /> “What’s that, Captain?” Ce asked. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: yellow;">“Name of this place.”<br /><br /> Teatro. </span></span></h2>
<span style="color: yellow;"><span style="font-size: large;">No lamp lit <br />or bellweather. <br />No Hail Mary. <br />No truce ripe with hopefulness <br />to ward off the heartless, flamebird sun. <br />Teatro. <br />A word, long <br />as a long conversation of iron ghosts <br />on The Captain’s tongue. <br />Teatro. <br />Dead spot at the end of a silent road.<br /><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="color: yellow;">Saddle up, pard, there’s horrors strange and black as the brutal wastes between the stars up ahead . . . Looks like it’s going to be a bumpy ride<br /></span><br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Disclaimer: We’d tell you <i>Fatally-Colored Gestures</i> is rated NC-17 (for BAD WORDS, sexual debasements, substance abuse, mean as Hell, GUTS & GORE, and KILL!

Chambers’ <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">King in Yellow</i> is suddenly on the rise
due to HBO’s stunning <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">True Detective</b>
(a long-held cinematic fantasy of mine come true!). Am I delighted? You bet I am.
Hell, I’m happy-dancin’-‘round-the-room giddy. Creator and writer, Nic Pizzolatto,
is working cinematic magic with <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">True Detective</b>.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here’s someone who loves Chambers and
gets it, and he’s got the perfect forum to deliver this important work of weird
fiction to the masses. I’m also thrilled to see Nic deliver the KIY by framing
it in noir, something I‘ve doing in my work for years now; most notably, according
to HPL scholar and critic, S.T. Joshi, in my “Carl Lee & Cassilda” trilogy
and “The Last Few Nights in a Life of Frost”. <br />
<br />
Many of you know what a rabid advocate of Chambers’ KIY work I’ve been these 15
years, talking about it to anyone who would listen. It was a longstanding dream
of mine to assemble an anthology of all new KIY stories by some of today’s
leading weird fiction writers and it was with great delight that I edited the acclaimed
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A SEASON IN CARCOSA </i>(Miskatonic River
Press; 2012)<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">, </i>which featured talents
like Laird Barron, John Langan, Simon Strantzas, Richard Gavin, Joel Lane, Ally
Bird, and Gemma Files. <br /><br />And next up, I’m editing <em>CASSILDA’S SONG</em>, another
anthology of all new tales based upon RWC’s KIY. This time, all the stories
will be written by women. <em>CASSILDA’s SONG</em> will appear next spring.<br />
<br />
With so many now probing the KIY and wondering what and where and who, and hungry for more, I
looked through my files and made a list of my (published) KIY
works.<br />

<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First time I
played the 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup> Velvet’s album I didn’t care for it, didn't get it. Parts/snippets sure, but
most of it left me NO. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fresh</i> Cream, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kind of Blue</i>, the first Weather Report
album, the 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup> Sabbath, Country Joe, the Airplane, those hit
instantly the first time I heard them. Lou and co, nope and nope. But I
bought it, so I kept playing it. Exploring. Hoping.<br /><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">LOADED</i> I was starting to get it. “Sweet Jane” hit me. “Rock And Roll”
and “New Age”, yeah, them’s good. But I was not yet a fan.<br /><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Solo, I warmed right up to Cale—kept
diving into more. Loved Nico! The dance w/ Lou… warming to where he led, letting him in, that came slow. <br /><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">TRANSFORMER</i>.
Sat there on the counter in the record store. I was looking at the back cover.
Sure I’d heard “WotW” on the radio, liked it a lot. Did I dare spin this new
album? <br /><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The guy behind the counter asked, “You
a fan?”<br /><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Not really. Like some of his stuff. Cale solo, a
lot.”<br /><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Ah . . . To me, Lou’s great. He’s like a
crime writer, reports from the street. Tells it like it is . . . I can see Lou
as a character in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Last Exit to Brooklyn</i>.”<br /><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That hit me, so I bought <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">TRANSFORMER</i>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Adjusted by his comment and ready to try, I took it home and
put it on the turntable. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> It played. I danced. "It's good. Good." <em>I like this one</em>.<br /><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hell, I was getting it. Thought so. Maybe I wasn’t ready for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">VU</i> when I’d heard it? Sometimes it takes
time to see, to understand.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> I went back w/ my new ears. Where the hell had my mind been? This is great. It works... I feel this one. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> <em>BERLIN. NEW YORK. MAGIC AND LOSS</em>. Perfect albums.<em> BERLIN</em> is desert island!! !<br /><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It took time for me to get Lou. But when
I did it was love. 5 decades later it still is. <br /><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All those FRI & SAT nights alone
in my hole-in-the-wall apartments. Me and some cheapass whiskey, a few beers, pack
of Camels, and a lot of dreams… THXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxx for being there Lou. And
thxxxxxxxxxxxx for not laughing as I cried... and listening too. THXxxxxxxxxxx
for the beacon. And the TRUTH! It helped!<br />
