That's a tight lid you've got on your feelings there. It'd be a real shame if somebody came along and knocked it loose.

“What they sought from him was the Tsukuru of old, a person he had left behind and no longer needed.”

“ ‘Le mal du pays.’ It’s French. Usually it’s translated as ‘homesickness,’ or ‘melancholy.’ If you put a finer point on it, it’s more like ‘a groundless sadness called forth in a person’s heart by a pastoral landscape.’ It’s a hard expression to trans­late accurately.”

- Haruki Murakami

I've always been a big Poe fan and a big T. Kingfisher fan, so I was thrilled to find out she's written her own take on The Fall of the House of Usher.

This spooky little book has all the gothic Victorian vibes of the original along with some new sci-fi concepts and a non-binary protagonist. While I loved seeing things from Alex's viewpoint, Maddy was the character who I really wanted to paint. She's a little bit crazy, a little bit dead, and absolutely fantastic.

It was all too bright, too cheerful, for someone to be dead. --Heatwave Victor Jestin

“Having talent’s preferable to having none. But talent only functions when it’s supported by a tough, unyielding physical and mental focus. All it takes is one screw in your brain to come loose and fall off, or some connection in your body to break down, and your concentration vanishes, like the dew at dawn.”

I'd been tired of it a decade ago. Now I’d moved to some other state entirely. Transcendent exhaustion, perhaps.
