A Danielewski Homage & Book “Review”

I am incredibly excited to share this with you. Even if: this is not for you. Couldn't think of a better day to finally put it out there than on my birthday. 

A few months back, I was lucky enough to receive an advance copy of Mark Z. Danielewski’s upcoming book, Tom’s Crossing. I was over the moon. Still might be. Obviously, his House of Leaves had left a profound impact on me and my work. This experience was something special. 

It’s a Western epic and, at its heart, a ghost story. Its tagline is: no one talks to the dead for free. I’ll leave it at that for now. But from the moment I learned that I was going to be a part of this incredible opportunity, I knew that I had to memorialize it somehow, while also “getting the word out,” as the publisher requested that I do in the letter I received alongside the book. 

This is me fulfilling that obligation. 

I hope fans of MZD and his canon, as well as those who might have enjoyed mine and ours, can gain something from this project. It certainly meant a lot to me. Please share if you enjoy the ride.
