I tensed for the spring, my eyes squinting as i cringed away, and the sound of edward's furious roar echoed distantly in the back of my head. his name burst through all the walls i'd built to contain it. edward, edward, edward. i was going to die. it shouldn't matter if i thought of him now. edward, i love you.

When i was young, my favorite picture book was 'fletcher and zenobia,' written by edward gorey and illustrated by victoria chess. it's long out of print now, but its mix of macabre humor and 1960s psychedelia made it a perfect children's book for the times.

You've probably heard about the theory of steam-engine time - that even after the steam engine had been invented, it had to wait until people were ready to make use of it. the same thing happens in literary circles. the truth is, i'm not terribly interested in victorian times; i'm interested in victorian writers. i'm interested in most eras of history, but not the victorian era especially. i was interested in the john franklin expedition. i was interested in these last five weird years of dickens' life. and i just have to take the age that comes with all that when i write about it.
