(3). Morbid (like an autopsy, yo!). (4). Bloated (like a cabbageworm) and (5). Surrealistic (by way of dreams, LSD and fevers that set fire to your paltry airports).

BONUS!! Three words that don't describe me as a writer:
1.) Altricial
2.) Festooned
3.) Muciferous

Goodnight Cleveland!(less)

A Cold Breakfast

I was young once and it lasted a good long mile. Like my grandfather before me. You may have heard of my grandfather, if you’re a true crime enthusiast. He became an infamous spree killer way back in 1957. His transition was sudden.

“In Conservatory of Death we see modern culture tired and kicking at the end of a rope. It is perhaps the first "deathpunk" novel.”
David Kerekes

“Everything is all the same all the time forever.”
Hank Kirton, Conservatory of Death

“Degenerates are not always criminals, anarchists, and pronounced lunatics; They are often authors and artists.”
Max Nordau, Degeneration

“A labyrinth -- that's Joyce's metaphor, too. Somebody could write a good Ph.D. dissertation on the metaphor of the labyrinth in James Joyce, Philip K. Dick, and Robert Anton Wilson. We all regard the universe as a maze that we're running around in and trying to figure out.”
Robert Anton Wilson

“This [Ulysses] is obviously the wave of the future, I'm glad I'm dying of tuberculosis.”
Katherine Mansfield
