Yeah, Drake. You can tell he is angry at Wagner but also himself, which can be a natural emotion as we get older and look back at our younger selves.....

That’s really unfortunate to hear. Dave and I had a good deal of communication a few years ago while I was preparing that WFR article, and so it’s sad to hear of his recent (ish?) struggles with Parkinson’s. I’ll certainly need to pick up that article…thanks again for the heads-up.

Drake or KEW? Sad, regardless, really a tragic, tough disease…and, no, that didn’t come up in my interview.

Yes, my Carcosa / KEW feature for Centipede’s WEIRD FICTION REVIEW had a long interview with Drake, and he wasn’t one to mince words.

Be aware, it is full of sadness. Read the David Drake interview.....

Oooo, thanks for the heads-up, will have to add this to my next order…I always need more KEW in my life.

I don’t know how many Karl Edward Wagner fans are out there but I found this pretty darn interesting. Full of interesting interviews, artwork and information. You can pick it up on Amazon.

Another damn good night!

Yes, Sir!

Really cool, Jason. Reminds me of a night I once spent in Denver

Congrats on the reading and signing. I have enjoyed the handful I've been to over the years.

That looks like a fun event and great night…congrats on some cool inscriptions.

While not a recent purchase, I did get some neat things today.

I believe it was last week when I found out that Stephen Graham Jones (and Paul Trembaly) were both in Telluride for a horror fest, and while looking up what that event is (and how far Telluride was) I discovered that SGJ was going to be in Fort Collins at their library's annual Book Fest.

While not super familiar with SGJ, I am at least aware of him, and have three of his books (and two SST editions) so a book signing was in order.

His talk was really interesting. He spent about 5 or 6 minutes reading from his latest book, My Heart is a Chainsaw, and then answering questions from the moderator, on-line, and the audience. I saved my question for the book signing line - who's your most underrated 80s hair metal band?

You can watch his panel on the website here - right now at least, it's video 4 of 8.

Here are some pictures of his inscriptions to the three books I brought:

Jason - thanks for Kings of the Sun

(This was a band I mentioned to him as being an underrated 80s hair metal band.)

Jason - when you look into the elk, the elk looks back into you.

Jason - allow me to introduce you to Jade Daniels ...

It was a fun way to spend a few hours on a Saturday. Plus I got to visit a brewery I hadn't been to before - WeldWerks - and bought some delicious beers.

Yesterday, two books I had been waiting for showed up.

First is the signed edition of Frank Bello's autobiography. Frank is the bassist of one of my favorite bands - Anthrax. I'm not expecting a lot because most so many musician's autobiographies seem to be lacking and very "thin" in content. But it'll go well with my two signed Scott Ian books.

The second book I feel kind of lucky to have even been able to order - had no idea it existed until a buddy of mine sent the link.

The signed version of The Art of Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess' Stardust. I only flipped through a little bit, but I love this whole package. Signed by both Gaiman and Vess, and includes a beautiful signed print from Vess. I really wish I could go back in time to that day I found myself at the Comic Art Museum in San Francisco where they had all of the original artwork from Stardust.
