This is my last book on the wearisome subject of urban blight, I have been writing on since 1996. At 21,238 words over 136 pages, this book turns out to be the maximum length I can stomach devoting to our devolution. I have completed 20 books on the subject of American blight this year. They are in alphabetical order, and averaging about 120 pages:
-A Science-Haunted World
-After Dark
-Anubis’ Gate
-Apocalisp [in print]
-Bad Book Good Book
-Dark Age
-Dark Kangdom
-Dusk
-Eight Minutes and Forty Six Seconds
-Emasculinity to Infinity
-Exodus Aryas
-Harpy Haj
-How God Saved Mars
-In the Crease of Might
-In the Shadows of Fright
-In the Shallows of Night
-Shamdemic Survivor
-Unbowed
-Wytchfinder
-Darksome Dawn
I am retiring to fiction and history writing. Half of my days are spent in fever or seizure and I just can’t put any more energy into the needling now.
Thanks for your support.
Excerpt
As I spoke to her about her predicament caught between various fanatical orthodoxy vectors masquerading as humans, I had to say, “I’m so sorry. You are caught smack between the old demon-haunted world of puritanical negation and the new science-haunted world of the mask. You are a lone human candle flickering in a hysterical night, a world where the sun does not rise unless the fact keepers say it did.”
Ms. Lockhart will publish this at some point she sees fit. If you would like a pdf copy with collectible typos, email me.
