Steve Dekorte

Things are fine here for me and my family, despite the crisis. Thank you for asking.

Thanks for the Short Tour link -- it has brought back many memories. I long to return to Providence, Marblehead and Boston, & yet my memory of them (aided by tons of photos) is so clear that I can still taste those days mentally. I need but close my eyes and I am walking Beacon Hill once more, those lovely lanes.

I knew the song but i had never seen the video.Lovely!

Steve, thank you for the interview. I couldn't have done it without you...

Yes, I am extremely devoted to Lovecraft and determined to establish myself as an author in his tradition. He has given me so much -- such rewards in this thing called "life". HPL has given me the happiest of my joys, my sanest hours; he has given me my "career" (such as it is) an an author. So, yes, I am extremely loyal. I have no interest in working with film people, and am clueless about writing screenplays and such. I like films that are true-to-source, because filming Lovecraft's texts as he wrote them -- or as close to the original as possible -- will lead to brilliant & disturbing cinema. I especially want to see "The Dunwich Horror" filmed exactly as Lovecraft wrote it. I hunger to see Del Torro (is that his name, the gent who made Pan's Labyrinth?) film "At the Mountains of Madness."

I do not think that At the Mountains of Madness cou'd be improv'd in any way. Eerily, I just saw an audio recording of it at University Bookstore, complete & unabridg'd, & I am considering buying it despite ye hefty price of $27.95. It wou'd be, I think, hypnotic to listen to it read, with all of ye scienctific terms precisely utter'd. I'm also debating shou'd I buy a softcover edition of HPL's Complete Poems, to have here at my writing desk as resource item. I have ye tome in hardcover in my Weird Poetry section, but I like having extra "work" copies which become well-thumb'd. It is here that I have ye three Penguin Lovecraft editions that I carry'd with me when S. T. Joshi took us on a Lovecraftian walking tour of Providence -- I held them in my trembling palm as I stood before #10 Barnes Street -- an incident that has never been equal'd in my too-long dreary life.

Steve, I can't thank you enough for the Mr. Rogers clip. How many kids actually peed their diapers?

My bleeding computer is possess'd by my O Brother, Where Art Thou screensaver, and it keeps playing "Man of Constant Sorrow" and cowbell noises -- oy!! & when I try to message you, it logs me out!! It began doing this at mid-night. This is my 4th attempt. I'm also watching, as I type, a Michael Buble dvd on my other, my new, laptop -- which to-morrow will be ye computer on which I do everything. It's so chaotic, this techno hoodoo world. Wish I knew how to scan photos, I love Aggeliki's gorgeous images! Of course, degenerate queer that I am, I'd fill all of yout profiles with Barbra Streisand & Boy George -- so, you lucked out that I'm so computer ignorant. Stay cool, Mister Dekorte.

Have fun Steve!!!

The track is a gift from theshaunz. He has a big ambient collection and he has given a track to yellowish haze too. Would you like one for your profile?
