What the Deuce Was Said?
A great many things in a very thorough examination of the lead-off short story in my new anthology, Death Honk. So you know, The Miskatonic Review is a site dedicated to "lovecraftian story reviews from the Bibliothecar" (or librarian, if you insist.) My tale involves the business dealings between a sinister warlock from the haunted village of Dunwich, Massachusetts and a naive Los Angeles publisher.
The Bibliothecar opens the hood and shows the wiring. My favorite line was:
"I can't say it ["Dagon and Jill"] will be for everyone, as Lovecraftian stories are pretty niche to begin with before approaching Lovecraftian humor . . . ."
(Though the story has brought smiles to non-Lovecraftians.)
Read the whole thing.

When you get a nod of approval from HP Lovecraft fans, you're doing well. Looking forward to finding out how that story goes. 'Dragon and Jill", of course, makes most of us over 40 types connect to the classic rhyme of Jack and Jill. Gotta wonder how Jill's gonna fare at the end of this story.
What's the latest in the paperback situation?
