Random thoughts...

Did anyone see the new Youtube clue video from Suntup ? Any guesses there ?

There have been a few on another thread here. The consensus appears to be Rosemary's Baby. I would be totally fine with that because it would save me money since I will only buy an Artist Gift Edition if available.

Did anyone here that one of our favorite artists GAK had passed away??

Mr. Keene has written a nice remembrance of GAK.

Thank you for sharing this. It was a nice remembrance. It made me think of a line from the below. Maybe not exactly in context but this is what came to mind.

A Psalm of Life

"What the Heart of the Young Man Said to the Psalmist

"Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
“Life is but an empty dream!”
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
“Dust thou art, to dust returnest,"
Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Finds us farther than to-day.

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.

In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!

Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act,--act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o’erhead!

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;

Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing
Learn to labor and to wait."

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Any one have a suggestion for a solid Richard Matheson Biography?
Thanks

Here you go:

EDIT: Careful, though...the first one was originally published as The Richard Matheson Companion, a S/L (and trade) HC pub’d by Gauntlet Press, so if you have that one you’re already covered.

Thanks Ron!

I saw today that Amazon's Wheel of Time show is set to start production in September, after years of being in limbo. God I hope they don't screw it up.

I'm wondering or in other words Muse'ing about a page count in a certain novella.

Honestly I'm not sure on the actual page count. I think if we were printing it at the smaller trim size we usually print novella's at, it'd be about as thick as Widow's Point. Though since it's 6 x 9 it'll probably be a little thinner. Don't quote me on this though, I'm really just guessing here.

Thank you sir!
