Re: The Collection
This is a fine revision of your story, Mr. Wood! Personally, I fear pliers...

Re: The Collection
That is truly impressive. It has a homely horror, but more homely than horror, but that is a fact which increases the horror yet again.

Re: The Collection
Miss Plarr has rendered services by reading this story aloud for her students. Note the link at the bottom of the story content. She is a bit more stoic when attempting to recant conversations. Perhaps her mind is elsewhere.

Re: The Collection
Thank you, spot, des, for reading and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated, guys! Perhaps Matt will get a set of pliers for his collection.
Thanks goes out to Miss Plarr's fine voice. And, of course, the unstoppable Dr. Bantham gets my usual praise. |

Re: The Collection
I looked homely up in the dictionary:
-- In the United States, homely usually suggests absence of natural beauty: an unattractive person almost homely enough to be called ugly. In England, the word suggests a wholesome simplicity without artificial refinement or elegance; since it characterizes that which is comfortable and attractive, it is equivalent to homey: a homely cottage. |

Re: The Collection
I intended the 2nd meaning, Barry.
But there is many a slip 'tween intention and action. |

Re: The Collection
I knew you meant the second meaning, des. Thank you. I love words and I especially like the differences sometimes between British and American.
On another note, des, what is the record for the smallest published chapbook? Has anyone ever published a one page book with covers? |

Re: The Collection
des: I still truly find it amazing you've published 1,500 short stories -- truly remarkable and wonderful ....
Happy New Year, des. I was just reading about you on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D.F._Lewis |
