A Season In Carcosa edited by Joseph S. Pulver, Sr, part 2
Yellow Bird Strings
Crap about puppets.
The Theatre And Its Double
A tale of madness.
Best Line:
“Changing. Into what, I never want to know.”
The Hymn Of The Hyades
A boy no one much cares about becomes part of the mythos. Good.
Slick Black Bones And Soft Black Stars
A mass grave is exacerbated on Carcosa. Excellent.
Not Enough Hope
I’ve no idea what this was about.
Whose Hearts Are Pure Gold
A girl goes mad in grotesque fashion. Not Effective.
April Dawn
A stage Irishman encounters Robert Chambers. Dull.
King Wolf
Kids are stranded in the bush. Ridiculous.
The White-Face At Dawn
A man and spiders. WTF?
Wishing Well
A tale of Hollywood, child stars, a creepy old TV show and the King In Yellow. Good.
Sweetums
A starlet gets a job on a very odd movie set. Creepy.
The King Is Yellow
A trio of toughs get a hold of the forbade tome and brutality ensues. Okay.
DT
A writer and his editor do wistful stuff in rough bars. No.
Salvation In Yellow
Utterly incoherent.
The Beat Hotel
Carcosa in 60s Paris. Good.
Best Line:
“He had never read the play either. Most with any sense hadn’t.”
“She had never opened the book either but she had known of many who had and what had happened.”
