The Ghouldom of the Grand GuignolD. F. Lewis

...to quoteConfessions of a Ghoul , this novella, among other sweet shorter arcana, that you surely hold
in this volume, by one M.F. Korn, writer and pianist supreme.

When I demanded that I should write the introduction to this novella (without, then, having first read it), I
knew it would be special. I hadn'tknown Mike Korn for nothing, after allтАФfollowing apparent aeons of
correspondence and collaboration. He is something really quite beyond description and any assessment
of normal genius!

I don't know how personal this novella is, but I can feel it is intrinsic to a soul that sits on him like a
head-dress or external brain of kaleidoscopic beauty. It is shocking. It is startling. The language is
wickedly soma-semantic. Full of references to pulp and mainstream literature, to theosophy, to classical
music, to silent films; and it is a rigorous, yet whimsical, extrapolation from H.P. Lovecraft'sOutsider and
Mary Shelley'sFrankenstein and Malcolm Lowry'sUnder the Volcano , and Nabokov'sLolita and
Rushdie'sMidnight's Children and Ligotti'sSongs of a Dead Dreamer and James Joyce'sUlysses and
Boswell'sJohnson and Poppy Z. Brite and ... It is all these and more ... and better.
