Re: The Man Who Collected Machen and Other Stories
I quite enjoyed A Contaminated Text and especially, The Tower. All, so very lovely.

Re: The Man Who Collected Machen and Other Stories
Did anyone ever manage to decipher the coded message on the front cover of the Chomu edition of TMWCM?

Re: The Man Who Collected Machen and Other Stories
I don't believe so. But that's an update I'd like to know about, if anyone has pulled it off successfully. I blew up the mystery text in this blog post from a little while ago: | |||||||||||

Hmmm, well I'm not really so sure it's wise to actually understand how to read or speak Thyxxolqu... Decipherer's beware, and pay especial attention to your oral hygiene!

Re: The Man Who Collected Machen and Other Stories
Somebody did, too late for the extended competition deadline, I should add. I won't say more. If the message becomes generally deciphered, perhaps we'll put a different message on any second edition. | |||||||||||

Re: The Man Who Collected Machen and Other Stories
May I just point out that I don't know myself what the hieroglyphic text put onto the front cover means. I have no insight into the concept.
I'm as intrigued as everybody else. Mark S. |

Re: The Man Who Collected Machen and Other Stories
Just picked this up the other day - heard LOTS of great stuff about it - and the code on the chomu edition was a nice bonus - hope someone manages to crack it..

Re: The Man Who Collected Machen and Other Stories
I just placed my order for this one, but I won't be able to get my hands on it until a month or so, but it will be a nice Christmas present

Re: The Man Who Collected Machen and Other Stories
I'm still pondering whether I should get myself a copy of the Chomu paperback too. I like the red tint. Was there also an extra story there, not included in the Ex Occidente version? I'm too very lazy to check at the moment.

Re: The Man Who Collected Machen and Other Stories
Yes, indeed there is, it's called The Tower. Happily it's very a very strong story to boot, though slightly different from much of Mark's previous works. I've been trying to persuade him to write more like it. | |||||||||||
