Put in an order for Poppy Z. Brite's forthcoming short story collection The Devil You Know and CaitlĂ­n R. Kiernan's chapbook Waycross today with Subterranean. They're having some great specials, today's was 50% off a single forthcoming book... which is good as the most expensive book of the two weighs in at $40 and is the one eligible for the discount. Limited editions are an expensive habit.

The cd's I bought on ebay on the weekend arrived, as did our order of coffee from New Orleans... yummy!





which edward ii-era historical figure are you?

this quiz was made by Caitlin


(1292-1358) At first, Isabella was a perfect princess: accomplished, pretty, young, and the oldest daughter of the King of France. But an inept, uncaring, homosexual husband (edward ii) pushed Isabella a bit too far, and she led a rebellion with her lover against Edward II. When it succeeded in putting her son on the throne, the ungrateful child put her in prison for the rest of her life-- 28 years.






which art movement are you?

this quiz was made by Caitlin


Founded by a bunch of Englishmen in 1848, "The group popularized a theatrically romantic style, marked by great beauty, an intricate realism, and a fondness for Arthurian legend." (artcyclopedia.com.) Creative license is taken here; not all Pre-Raphaelite art was dark, mediaeval, and deathly serious, like you are. But there were a lot of drowned maidens, and you'd like that.
Famous Pre-Raphaelites: Waterhouse, Millais, Rossetti, and You.
