"Only at Nightfall": A Return of the Mystery and a Manifesto at Dawn

Hi, everyone. Oh, I see you've tripped over your own feet and spit out your coffee at having seen a new Pearls of Mystery post. Yes. Well, nice trip. See you next... it's almost fall, and it's been several months since I have posted here. This is good because I've been posting and editing at The Gothic Ginobili, which is in the process of becoming a Truehoop affiliate.

Now, The Gothic Ginobili has been wonderfully successful by any measure, thanks mostly to Aaron McGuire, but I've had a lot of great pieces go up and I've done a lot of fine editing. We've even had a few new writers and a few more guest writers, which is wonderful. I had a lot of pride when my link to "The Consummation of Dirk" turned out to connect its fine DFW-influenced author Jonathan Callahan to a literary magazine for the analogical "Beyond Good and Evil" to the "Thus Spake Zarathustra" of "Dirk".

Overall, the only regret I've had with GG is that the consistent feature I could theoretically bank on for a couple posts a week has thus far eluded me. So I go through alternating periods of intense posting activity and barren writer's block. So - in the utter midst of such a block - I want to spend my way out of the recession, so to speak, by putting  some ideas to virtual pen.
