• Nightmare Abbey: The Raw Head & Bloody Bones Connection

  A while back, I wrote about the legend of Raw Head and Bloody Bones, including the fact that it can be found in the 1550 edition of the Oxford Dictionary. More recently, during the course of my research for a book about author Steve Aylett, I’ve discovered another reference to the grisly tale. Upon learning…

• D. Harlan Wilson on Aylett’s Novahead

  “Alan Moore calls Aylett ‘the most original and most consciousness-altering living writer in the English language, not to mention one of the funniest.’ By definition, book blurbs are hyperbolic marketing ploys, but in this case, Moore isn’t far off target.” Read More

• Burning Man

  I thought Steve Aylett was joking when one of the characters in his phosphorescent noir-action novel,  Novahead, says that a character in Charles Dickens’  Bleak House died from spontaneous human combustion. I have obviously never read Bleak House. David Perdue tells us that “Dickens sparked controversy in Bleak House when he had a rag and bone dealer named Krook die…

• Inside the Head of D. Harlan Wilson

  It is harder than you might think to write good Bizarro fiction. Practically anyone can conjure up a weird scene about people with goat heads or a beard crawling off someone’s face, but few can write about it with the crisply entertaining panache of D. Harlan Wilson. Wilson’s novel, Peckinpah (2009, Shroud Publishing), is described…
