Alan Davey Vision Quest Request

[Mary Sullivan]

Thanks Jonathan for your feedback, I agree Lovecraft wrote some fantastic
stories, I also understand he had his  prejudices.  I live only an hour away
from Providence.  I guess there are some real fanatics there that have
rituals at his grave and all.  Now that it's not scary night, maybe I'll try
that link for a listen to a play.  That sounds like a lot of fun.  I'm going
to miss having this computer when it goes in for a check up.  I'm  sure it
needs to be defragged, debugged, and all sorts of things.  Hopefully the
turn around time won't be too long.

Mary

Re: Lord Dunsany. He was much lass dark and more literary than Lovecraft,
not to mention less openly zenophobic. Lovecraft wrote some amazing stories
however. Love the Cthuhlu Mythos idea. He was extremely influential to the
fanatasy/ horror genre.

I have never managed to relate to the band...
