My co-writer Brian Thomas moved to LA in the early 90s to find work in the film industry. He worked behind the scenes on films from The Wizard of Space and Time to Army of Darkness (Evil Dead 3), then landed a job in the 20th Century Fox research library — literally, my idea of heaven on earth. He provided research for The X Files, The Simpsons, Firefly, Brimstone, Millennium, and more than a hund

| I enjoyed this as I was reading it, but that's evaporating now that I've finished. The pacing in this book is really strange. It takes forever to get started, then ties up all the strings -- and makes major changes in all the characters -- in the las ...more | |

| What a lovely little chapbook! I heard the author read part of the story of Apple, the 13th fairy who searches for a purpose and her true name, last year. That tidbit didn't encompass the power of this devastating and beautiful spin on the Sleeping B ...more | |

| What a strange book. Part memoir, part historical essay, part collections of lists of songs about walking... I'm not sure what the title led me to expect, but it wasn't that the author would fall down while walking in the first chapter -- and then be ...more | |

“Curiosity is the single most important attribute with which humans are born. More than a simple desire to discover or know things, curiosity is a powerful tool, like a scalpel or a searchlight. Curiosity changes us. It is also a way to effect change, perhaps even on a global level.”

“For these beings, fall is ever the normal season, the only weather, there be no choice beyond. Where do they come from? The dust. Where do they go? The grave. Does blood stir their veins? No: the night wind. What ticks in their head? The worm. What speaks from their mouth? The toad. What sees from their eye? The snake. What hears with their ear? The abyss between the stars. They sift the human storm for souls, eat flesh of reason, fill tombs with sinners. They frenzy forth....Such are the autumn people.”
