Shatterlight poppycock

[Max Kon]

i like 'slap-two-words-together DIY futurespeak' as that's how alot of words are created, and it means that the words are understandable with the need for a phrase book.

"As Gordon Rennie pointed out"

Garth Ennis, actually.

And I remember Swifty Frisco.

I mindrewind to the earlynineties and laughcry at certain earlyfledgling excesses of the DaveStone creatorsmith. There's a Strange Cases in a Mega-Special that probably ramslams some classic examples.

Was it Ennis? My apologies, Byron. I misremembered.

Coincidentally, I read Swimming in Blood for the first time last night. It was very special indeed, and I recognise Smith as a writer of the highest calibre.

Smith = certifiable genius.  

Anybody know what happened to his novel from a couple of years ago?

[Generally Contrary]

It would be a reallyshameface if it was discremaindercounted-binned.

[House of Usher]

I thought the 'censorships' were funny. Shaped like scissors, too!

But isn't the whole thing a bit dated? It is many years since Ray Bradbury's Farenheit 451 was published, and as satire, I can't help thinking Mary Whitehouse is the target, and she and her priggish ilk ceased to be taken seriously long before she passed on.

And it seems like a re-run of that Tyranny Rex story with the nunnery under siege.
