(collections're boxed up rn, so can't check introductions/endnotes)

"thanks it has thumb holes" is i guess the dude equivalent of "thanks it has pockets"

i just realized that from a certain point of view i appear to be constructing a room-sized lament configuration. although considering that my copy of tcathr is octavo/medium octavo and may end up housed within — maybe? (you know just without all the happy-go-luckiness it had in the hellbound heart)

If you're looking for an anthology with adorably whimsical cover art of a star-crossed synanthropic meet-cute that, statistically speaking, has probably occurred at some point in one or more of the major metropolitan areas in North America, you've got ~7 hours... www.kickstarter.com/projects/par...
