"A discussion took place between a literary friend and myself," he explained five years later, "on the subject of Poe's poetic genius. ![]() It was early November of 1859 that Gardette, later by his own admission, wrote a poem in the general style of 'The Raven'. This was 'The Fire-Fiend' and its author was a 29-year-old Philadelphian named Charles Desmarais Gardette.

There are also some other Poe related illustrations by the below listed artists. I got them really cheap, and I wouldn't recommend paying near what some booksellers are asking for them) The Fire-Fiend is magazine size and has five excellent illustrations by Stephen E. I thought this literary hoax might be of interest to some here. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rand McNally told the court that its designers went to the official map of that county, looked up the coordinates, and on the spot called Agloe they found a building, and that building, they told the judge, is the Agloe General Store. And they offered this totally startling defense. Unless the mapmaker runs a little scam.Ī few years later, Rand McNally, the famous map company, issued its own New York state map, and, guess what? Right there in the same place - same spelling - was the exact same Totally Made-Up Town, "Agloe." Jurors think, "Hmm, sounds reasonable," and the pirates get away with it. So we're only guilty of describing the same world the other map described. Because there's a real world out there, obviously maps are going to be identical. The pirates say, "Prove it." It's a map, they say. You check spellings, you work on the colors, you get all the cities in the right place, and along comes a gas company, or a tourism agency it takes what you've done, slaps its own name on it. This wasn't an important or often visited place, which made it a perfect spot for what's called a "paper town," or a map "trap."Ĭompanies that create maps get their work copied all the time. ![]() In the 1930s (I learned from Frank Jacobs' excellent blog, Strange Maps), there was no town on that stretch between Rockland and nearby Beaverkill - just a dirt road. ![]() just up the road from Roscoe and Rockland. ![]() ![]() ![]() Elise is an easily paranoid person who quickly grows to distrust and fear her husband, Kieran, who has lied many times to her. When I look at my notes on the plot, the story feels a little convoluted. If she is to believe what she sees, Elise has every reason to fear for her life… As she treads into dangerous territory, Elise is forced to wonder: Is her whole future at stake? Or is paranoia getting the best of her?

Summary: I usually write my own summaries, but, in this case, I think the already existing one really does say it best:Ī woman’s idyllic life becomes a deceptive hall of mirrors in a thriller of exquisitely constructed psychological suspense by A. Genre: Mystery and Thriller, Psychological Thriller ![]() ![]() ROLLINS attitude throughout is one of defiance. they are very much the pioneers that got scalped to borrow horrible offensive and culturally antiquated turn of phrase. on top of that they are blazing through under-appreciated markets that don't have a frame of reference for their version of PUNK ROCK quite yet. they see a rock star on tour where his actual reality is sleeping in vans, moving equipment, fighting skinheads, fighting concert promoters, lack of food, lack of sleep and lack of money. the longer he is on the road, the more severe that estrangement becomes, for his former peers (exception being friend IAN MCKAYE) can't appreciate his position. one theme carried on throughout journal is this theme of isolation and alienation from the straight world he so passionately wished to escape from. he appreciates his good fortune in being asked to join his favorite band at a moment when they sought to reshuffle roles within the band. ![]() In ROLLINS we see a guy that knows his place. ![]() this self-published printing (now long out of print) of his tour journal finds BLACK FLAG frontman HENRY ROLLINS in GET IN THE VAN ( 2.13.61, 1995) giving the reader a first-hand account of the hardship and endurance it took to get out the message. this circuit of VFW halls, LIONS CLUBS and basements across the nation was the common proving ground for INDIE bands of that same era and underground ALTERNATIVE bands of the 90s.

He has a loyal following of readers who have embraced his bold, hyperfluent vision. There’s something so seductive about Marcus’ imagination and flow of language, as abstract as it can be. “In daylight,” Marcus writes in “First Love,” “she wore motion-limiting weights called shoes.” In “Origins of the Family,” he writes: “When they discuss children they are trying to discover if they can create a new set of bones together” and “The police ride velvet-covered bone-cages called horses.” Marcus endows them with a minimalist sensibility - it reminded me, at times, of the early Talking Heads, with David Byrne singing with naïve simplicity about buildings and food. The men in these deeply interior pieces are both primitive and infantile in their perceptions. ![]() The effects of a radically changed universe are often alluded to, but the facts of that universe remain obscured. ![]() They are doggedly nonspecific, set, like Marcus’s novel “The Flame Alphabet” (2012), in a dystopian near future where words have disappeared, or where love has become a scientific endeavor, or where offices are brave new worlds and bosses are mysterious envoys of totalitarian regimes. At the other end of the spectrum in “Leaving the Sea” are the stories in the second half, which are so intentionally and expertly abstruse that you feel as if you’re drowning in symbols. ![]() ![]() ![]() A certain type of supernova, for example, brightens and fades in such a predictable manner that we can measure the distances to their host galaxies.

In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, astrophysicist Or Graur offers a concise and accessible introduction to these awe-inspiring astronomical phenomena. Supernovae have been studied for centuries, and they have also made appearances in popular a glimpse of a supernova in a painting provides Sherlock Holmes with a crucial clue, for example.
