Gene Wolfe's Intergalactic Bestiary & Subversive Eucharist

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Hi, folks.  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)<http://ridethenightmare.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/30-days-of-halloween-day-28.html>

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:
