part poe by sasquatchan (2.00 / 0) #1 Thu Aug 23, 2007 at 03:39:44 PM EST

part lovecraft, and a smattering of Clive Barker. Danged if I can't recall the Barker story about the nightfolk in the Canadian remotes. Cabal, that's it.

Not too disturbing, yet ...

I don't get the objection. by Christopher Robin was Murdered (4.00 / 1) #2 Thu Aug 23, 2007 at 04:00:20 PM EST

Was there some recent case of parental kidnapping or something? Do they mean "disturbing" in the "must observe the proprieties, not appear exploitative" sense?

No one's been kidnapped recently, but apparently the powers that be felt that residents might become alarmed and organize an impromptu search or something.

Your editor is fecked in the head. Per the other comments, would this editurd have rejected Poe, Lovecraft or even Rowling ?

We recently pulled Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth" from our local library's shelves because we were afraid somebody might dig up Prospect Park in an effort to mount an expedition.
You can't be too careful with this "fiction" stuff. In the wrong hands, it is dangerous as dynamite.

I like it. by ObviousTroll (2.00 / 0) #3 Thu Aug 23, 2007 at 04:01:46 PM EST

I disagree about the lovecraftian comment though - this could easily go in many different ways at this point, it doesn't have to be grim.

...how grim could it get? I mean, I was trying to keep in mind my audience here. I just missed the mark.

Disturbing? by sgt york (2.00 / 0) #4 Thu Aug 23, 2007 at 04:03:02 PM EST

Sounds pretty cool to me. I'd guess they're shying away from the kidnapping component.

What was that novel about the little people that lived in a department store? They thought it was the whole world, but it was closing down. They made a getaway in a delivery truck and set up a colony out in the country somewhere.

Quite Right. by CheeseburgerBrown (2.00 / 0) #6 Thu Aug 23, 2007 at 04:06:32 PM EST

That sounds like a novel after my own heart. No better recollection of the title?

I suspect by DullTrev (4.00 / 2) #13 Thu Aug 23, 2007 at 04:21:00 PM EST

It could be Truckers by the wonderful Terry Pratchett. Written as a children's book, but aren't all the best ones? Two followups with Diggers and Wings, as well.

Yep, that was it. Truckers. Didn't know there were sequels, though....time to hit the used book store.

The most disturbing part by lm (4.00 / 1) #7 Thu Aug 23, 2007 at 04:08:56 PM EST

The main character willingly climbs down into a hole with a creepy old man he's never met before at his back.

If I were that creepy old man, I'd have started filling in the hole at that point to complete the blood sacrifice to the night people.

There is no more degenerate kind of state than that in which the richest are supposed to be the best.

Do the night folk know the elves? by duxup (2.00 / 0) #11 Thu Aug 23, 2007 at 04:17:06 PM EST

I don’t know the nature of this paper is, what their standards are so I can’t comment on that.

What I would like is that if you go down there could you ask them if they know the elves that make the cookies in the trees? If they do I want to know what kind of trees they like and what I can to attract my own colony of cookie elves.

I tried a few times already and all I got were cobbler elves. I just don’t need that many shoes.

The Night Folk are creepy and cool. Um, but otherwise like elves, yes.

There no cookies involved, however. I may just have to write Part Two to answer your curiosity.

When the tree came into the picture, my first thought was of the Keebler Elves. My next thought was of some gnomes or something on a cartoon I watched when I was a kid that I forgot about.

I can understand why they wouldn't publish by nebbish (2.00 / 0) #24 Fri Aug 24, 2007 at 06:19:48 AM EST

Is a rural newspaper's readership the right audience? I'm not sure it is. It's exactly the kind of readership that will value consistency above experimentation, and when it comes down to it, they have to sell copies.

I like it though.

It's political correctness gone mad!
