Modcult: Aegypt Cycle

Aegypt Cycle

It looks like Overlook Press is reprinting all of John Crowley’s Ægypt Cycle. I just picked up the first book in the series, Solitudes (originally entitled Ægypt), the other evening. It’s been out of print for awhile, and I believe this is the first time they will all be published in a uniform edition. In addition they have been revised by Crowley (I found a mention on his live journal).

Speaking of bookweb 2.0, I managed to find an online version of Harold Bloom’s Western Canon online– which features the first two books of the Ægypt Cycle.

from jc’s lj:

(I am in favor of the old fashioned guillotine-style traps as the most humane: l what could be more painless and unstressful than a bar smashing your neck before you know it? One minute you’re there, the next not. (I conceive likewise that it would be no great suffering if an enemy or psychopath came up behind me and whacked me in the back of the head with a lenght of 2x4. Out like a light. This connects to my commitment as an omnivore, but more of that another time.)

I agree! altho the last time we had mice in the apt we ended up using glue traps since they were evading the snap traps.

tom disch has one too.

michael swanwick’s blogspot blog. I guess it shouldn’t be surprising that authors with a background in sf/f have taken to this aspect of the internet, what with the fan/fanzine culture there.
