ice that melts the tips...

Speaking of musica . . .

I've been having my own CRK marathon all this weekend. My marathon even has a theme: CRK and water. Your tales of anything in the water including my all time favorites "To This Water (Johnstown, Pennsylvania 1889)," "Tears Seven Times Salt," "Paedomorphosis," "Postcards From the Kings of Tides," (and the list goes on) have all been accompanied by a soundtrack comprised mostly of oldschool Curve. I know you've mentioned Curve briefly in a past interview, but I'm wondering if you're a fan because Curve is the sonic equivalent of much of what you write about: wounds, icy colored things, distressed beauty, and subtle moments of sexiness and light. The passage on the rusalki in "To This Water . . ." contains descriptions of such watery spookiness, that it gives me actual goosebumps each time I read it. I've been obsessed with water's darker associations for as long as I can remember and you are the only writer that has invoked that specific energy in ways that deepen and color that obsession. Thank you!

(p.s. I'm THRILLED that I just found "Waycross" collected in the Mammoth Book of New Horror Vol. 15, I wasn't able to secure it any other way so I'm excited to get some more Dancy, it is a shame that it is without Ted Naifeh's art, but that goes without saying...)

If you're into the water stories, you should be happy with To Charles Fort, With Love.

I haven't listened to Curve very much in a long, long time. Back when I was still into clubbing, they were one of my favorite bands to dance to. And I wrote a lot to them in the early nineties. I never stopped loving the music, I just drifted away from it, as I have with so many bands. But yes, it's true, Curve's music always seemed a very good accompaniment to the things I was trying to write. I should dust them off...

To Charles Fort, With Love excites me too much for my own good. There are few things that can compete with new CRK on the horizon...the new Nine Inch Nails album is one of them, and I can't think of anything else right now.

It's cool to think of you dancing to Curve, really cool. I should make you a mixer of their very recent and very rare stuff, I think you'd be impressed.

That would be very cool.

If you decide to, it can be sent to me at P.O. Box 5290, Atlanta, GA 31107.

I'll have your Curve mix in the mail on Friday afternoon, you seriously don't have any idea how amped I am to do this, looks like I better represent for Curve...curiously I was rereading "Angels You Can See Through" late last night and I can't believe I missed the whole Curve reference when I first read the stories about 5 years ago, WTF!?

You really shouldn't be allowed to be as cool as you are Ms. Kiernan, seriously.
