Well done Charles! Not that there are not usually interesting links in these posts, but this one had link after link that I just knew I HAD to read.
I particularly enjoyed reading the Tor article about H.P. Lovecraft. He fascinates me and I found this an interesting presentation on why his work still has that special something about it.
Also liked being able to put in my two cents about artist interviews in Locus Magazine.
I could go on and on. You’ve certainly taken up a lot of my morning!!!
