ANGELA CARTER MONTH WOULD BE AMAZING. Or let her share it with Leonora Carrington and do a month of upsetting and hilarious female surrealists: Dead, British.

On Roald Dahl hating TV but having his own TV, Peter Cook did a pastiche of his opening monologue on Tales of the Unexpected that feels like it captures something true about Dahl. Peter Cook as Dahl: like many intensely private people I have always had a burning desire to be on television, so that people would recognise me on the street, and i could pretend to be upset.

OME* you guys doing Gilgamesh would be the greatest. * = oh my Enlil

Oh, and you guys need to check out Peter Watts' Blindsight not just for the AI stuff (for which see also Iain Banks' Culture novels) but also for the SPACE DRACULAS.

Wait, I only just noticed the comment you bring up that mentions weird author who use folktales as a springboard lists Ursula Vernon AND T. Kingfisher. ...Those are the same person. Kingfisher is Vernon's pen name.

The most Lovecraftian Tom Waits track has got to be 'The Ocean Doesn't Want Me'. So creepy and weird!

I think AI generated things definitely have a place. Since getting a chatbot account, my gentleman friend has started sending me poems. Are they good art? ehh. Is Hallmark art good or art? It’s better and more personalized than Hallmark or nothing.

Did you guys hear about the extensive rewriting of Roald Dahl books that was announced yesterday? The publishers are doing it to appeal to modern sensibilities (I assumed maybe removing an occasional racist description that slipped by and was acceptable at the time), but when you look at the hundreds of actual changes that have been made for each book, it's really awful. Loads of great writing was removed, especially if there was any reference to fatness, and was replaced with the most bland and milquetoast slop. https://www.telegraph.co.uk./news/2023/02/17/roald-dahl-books-rewritten-offensive-matilda-witches-twits/ Examples: "You can’t go round pulling the hair of every lady you meet, even if she is wearing gloves. Just you try it and see what happens" -----> "Besides, there are plenty of other reasons why women might wear wigs and there is certainly nothing wrong with that" "I climbed up to their tree-house village and poked my head in through the door of the tree house belonging to the leader of the tribe" -----> "I decided to speak to their leader" "Even if she is working as a cashier in a supermarket or typing letters for a businessman" -----> "Even if she is working as a top scientist or running a business"

I should have known "The Autopsy" was a Michael Shea story! Even when I was watching that episode, I was thinking, "This really strikes that Shea balance of having visceral, brutal cosmic horror, but featuring an ordinary, vulnerable human who somehow finds the backdoor agency to give the finger to the Audient Void." It must be one of the stories I haven't read yet, but I can't wait to get to it.
