I finally wrote something new about Wolfe and almost forgot to link to it here on this list. It's not on my Wolfe blog this time, but was part of a '30 Days of Halloween' series I just finished on the theme of theological horror. The post is at the following link: 30 Days of Halloween - Day 28: Intergalactic Bestiary and Subversive Eucharist (the opulent wonders of Gene Wolfe) I must say I do wish someone would make a quality illustrated Gene Wolfe Bestiary. It could have, say, succinct Andre-Driussi-type entries on each creature accompanied by, say, Wayne Barlowe-type illustrations. (Or maybe a host of illustrators, reaching back to Bruce Pennington and Don Maitz and forward to folks like Mike Mignola and Jude Palencar.) Anyway, of related interest to some here might be the following: 30 Days of Halloween - Day 15: Stalking Hnakra (monsters in C. S. Lewis) 30 Days of Halloween - Day 21: The Mystical Realism of Charles Williams 30 Days of Halloween - Day 22: Vampires Shouldn't Tweet (The Urban Weird of Tim Powers) 30 Days of Halloween - Day 24: Cosmic Laughter vs. Cosmic Horror (Lafferty vs. Lovecraft) -DOJP -- Daniel Otto Jack Petersen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
