(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)

Dead in a Dump Somewhere

Eddie Yettian was dead, maybe. You could never tell with that guy. He was always getting lost,  going missing. Living on the existential precipice, as it were. He didn’t feel alive unless he was on the precarious edge of death. 

He always came back, though. Bedraggled, quieted, neutered or haunted, but back.

And he always had crazy stories to tell (after he’d rebuilt his wits).

“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
