The New York Post ran a short article of mine on Bigfoot this past Sunday.

According to Don Herron's The Literary World of San Francisco & Its Environs, Bay Area Forteans frequently met at 478 Union Street. This housed the Pencraft Writers Studio, run by pulp authors Kenneth MacNichol and Polly Lamb Goforth. (Goforth was also a sorceress who used the same form of magic as Haas.) In some of my earlier writing--nothing published, I think--I said that George Haas lived on College Street in Oakland. This was wrong. In the early 1930s, Clark Ashton Smith wrote a story called "The Vaults of Yoh-Vombis" about a disconcerting archeological discovery on the planet Mars. The tale was eventually published in Weird Tales. I visited the California State Library History Room on Wednesday. They have a complete run of Round Robin, as well as some other works of N. Meade Layne, which I was able to look through. George Haas, on Clark Ashton Smith: The last post prompted a connection I had never made before. I have lots of tendrils out in starting this project-I feel very unfocused, not only because the project is still in an unorganized state, but life is, too. Well, the hope for daily updates is already invalid. Good thing, too, I think, since it will remove some of the pressure to keep this updated. After all, I think of this more as a work diary than anything else. If helpful comments come along, all the better. Welcome to my little patch of cyberspace, those few of you who have straggled out this far. I'm definitely a Boomer, not a Sooner. |
