Too much signal, not enough noise.
Cover not Pennington’s finest, and the book was so commonplace on the secondhand bookstalls of the 80s that I never bothered with it, (too busy looking for Lovecraft in Pan anthologies)…..but I really missed out; it’s a corker. #efbenson #horrorfiction #Paperback

Things are not as easily understood nor as expressible as people usually would like us to believe. Most happenings are beyond expression; they exist where a word has never intruded.

This was pretty much perfect. Extreme show-don’t-tell. Dialogue that crackles with tension, the fragile versus the brutal……Pell Station is a spin gravity Sevastopol. The 80s vintage means it reeks of #TravellerRPG and #2300AD so right up my jump route

This is so sharp. So fierce. And so true.
This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.
