![]() I want to be an old theatrically morbid man like Vincent Price." Well, I want to be like the Chowder Society, the four old men who get together and tell ghost stories, starting each one with the same eerie introduction, "What's the worst thing you've ever done?," followed by the response, "I won't tell you that, but I'll tell you the worst thing that ever happened to me.the most dreadful thing." ![]() One of the most popular tweets I ever.uh.tweeted ( JoeAverageSF, if you're interested) was "I can't wait to be old. I fully intend to be in the Chowder Society when I grow old. This is ultimately a boy's story about the one that got away, about impotent men cowering in the face of a female power. She's eeeeevil because she makes men love her too much, but refuses to be subjugated by that love. ![]() Her acolytes speak of her in reverent tones. The shapeshifter is a seductress kinda monster who uses her wiles to send men to their destruction. The only two women to get any real screen time are the shapeshifter antagonist in her various guises and the wife of one of the protagonists, who is a cheatin' ice queen with a heart like shards of cold broken glass. On a very surface level, it's an accurate observation. ![]() ![]() Because I am a little shit, and because I have a tendency to soak up and project hyperliberal dogmas of oppression and subjugation, my first thought after completing Peter Straub's seminal Ghost Story was "another goddamned horror novel about poor helpless men besieged by an eeeeevil woman." ![]()

Some ancient writings described the world as resting on seven pillars. Understood this way, Wisdom’s call in Proverbs 9:5 is perfectly fitting: “Come, eat my food / and drink the wine I have mixed.” ![]() Some commentators see the seven pillars as describing a traditional banquet pavilion. One idea is that, since the number seven often expresses completeness in Scripture, the passage communicates that the application of wisdom results in a complete, orderly, well-furnished house, one that lacks nothing. Many explanations exist regarding the seven pillars of wisdom in this passage. What are these “seven pillars” that wisdom has erected? Proverbs 9:1 states, “Wisdom has built her house / she has set up its seven pillars.” This is obviously a symbolic description, since wisdom is personified. ![]() ![]() The last poem that he wrote for the newspaper was called Casey (later to become known as Casey at the Bat) which received very little attention at the time of its publication. Thayer worked for the Examiner between 18, until ill health affected him, writing a humorous column that included some of his own poetry. When the election was over George gave the San Francisco Examiner to Randolph who immediately employed some of his friends, including Thayer, to work on the paper. ![]() The story went that in 1885, George Hearst, Randolph’s father, wanted to run for senator in the State of California and so decided to buy a newspaper to further his ambitions. It was a stroke of luck that would see one of Thayer’s verses become almost a national institution. One of these was William Randolph Hearst who came from one of the most prominent families in the US at the time. Thayer was born into a fairly wealthy family and had a good education that led him to attend Harvard University in 1885 where he was responsible for editing a couple of magazines including the Lampoon.Īs a member of the Hasty Pudding Club, the theatrical society of Harvard, Thayer came into contact with a wide range of the country’s rich and soon to be powerful people. ![]() ![]() Born in Massachusetts in 1863, Ernest Lawrence Thayer was an American poet and writer who is solely remembered for one famous comic verse and the habit he had of signing his poems ‘Phin’. ![]() ![]() ![]() This edition includes a new Afterword written by author James Gurney as well as a special section of behind-the-scenes studies and maquettes he used in developing his paintings.

Gurney’s premise – of an undiscovered island where a race of mystical humans co-exists in harmony with intelligent dinosaurs – has been since reiterated over and over in numerous films and by scores of other writers.
