This may be new info for the reader, re Absolution...
There's a lot of public domain texts in these books that people don't know about, and I haven't talked about. There's a lot of William Hope Hodgson's The House on the Borderland in Acceptance. And for example, in the cannibalism scene, I thought it would be kind of cute to put in food imagery that I embed as Lowry's memory. That's actually from A Christmas Carol, because I think, sneakily, if someone's read A Christmas Carol, there might be this little echo in their head that they can't remember—is this my family dinner that I'm remembering? So I do some things with imagery, found imagery too, to hopefully create some kind of echo or resonance.
