I'm very glad you...So happy you keep returning!<br />I'm very glad you have talked about Lord Dunsany and his ilk like Lovecraft etc. I hope you will lurk John Michael Greer into your cove(n).

I guess that chivalry really must be dead, which is not a good sign for those who want to revive the age of fantasy.<br /><br />Actually, I am not too fond of the literary genres of fantasy and whimsy. I do love escaping to alternate worlds though, such as Father Day's, and those imagined by such people as Robert Benchley, Edith Wharton, P.G. Wodehouse, and so many others.
