That is a cool map, nice artwork. The analogies woven into it, or at least the few I am familiar with, ring true as well. Was previously unfamiliar with the Leviathan series. Sounds interesting, has to be the most fantastical take on the alternate history theme I've heard of, with the Clanker machines and the Darwinist war creatures. Thanks!

Hi, Just a general question I thought I would throw out there and see how you weighed in. I am putting together my second horror collection. I have two stories so far, and the third concept that has come into my head has horrific elements, but really reads as family tragedy. How do you feel about a horror collection that has a story in it with a) no blood or murder, b) no supernatural element? Mike

Thanks for the flurry for visitor messages, Tobias. I'm just about to have a look at the videos.

Hallo Tobias! Frohes Neues Jahr ebenso! Danke für den Tipp. Hoell hattest du mir vorher schon empfohlen, ich las seinen Aufsatz über Mainläner als ich in der Unibibliothek in Münster war, wo ich übrigens auch einige Bücher Horstmanns aufschlug. Wie hast du Weihnachten verbracht? Und wie fühlt man sich derzeit? Derzeit lese ich Bernhards "Frost" - und ebenso erlebt man derzeit etwas, was man mit dem vergleichen könnte, was Mainländer und Nietzsche am Ende ihres geistigen Lebens widerfahren ist. Deshalb weiß man nicht, wie es weitergehen soll, oder ob es weitergehen kann...

In diesem Sinne...

Hier eine noch unfertige Zeichnung von mir:

What an amazing place to be for Christmas.
Thank you Tobias.Wish you the best for the new year.

Tyrannosaurus Reich... Heh, heh. Can't get much more over-the-top than that 8] Thanks for the Marvel Bloopers link, those are funny too.

... not tomorrow but after tomorrow, of course. Regarding mailbox, looks like you're in same trouble as I am.

(part 2) thanks for that. I looked around for a fitting comic excerpt with which to respond in kind but had no luck. Couldn't find anything nearly as apt or entertaining. Happy Holidays to you, and game on! Your humble friend, and King of the TLO Arcade from on High, Geist

Ha, ha! That got a laugh out of me, even though I am uncertain exactly how to interpret it. Perhaps you intended more than one meaning. At first I took it for a jest poking fun at arcade rivalry, coincident with an amiable warning of your perception that you will soon dethrone the reigning King. Then, as I read the last ballon, the illogic of what CA was saying became evident, eliciting a second laugh and a new evaluation of the comic excerpt's semantic in a converse context - maybe you were making a joke of your perceived inability to overcome the might of the Geist (I tend to favor this possibility as most likely). Or maybe you are somewhat insane and meant both meanings at once =8] . More likely, it is I who am mad, with my obssessive attempts to dissect a clever yet simple bit of humor like something from a formaldehyde jar. Either way,

Nice video. I never tire of it. It's very Lovecraftian and Ligottian at the same time. Claymation is among the most disturbing forms of entertainment ever made.
