Kurt Vonnegut has died

[Blarg]

Yah, it settles over you and immediately suspends disbelief. Some people complain about the Victorian writing style, but that works perfectly for horror, and I love the way he did it.

Listening to a download I got from Audible.com. The Horror of Red Hook, etc. Dark-voiced, rumbling narrator ... Lovecraft's building up of his juicy hatred of the vile decrepit swampiness of his surroundings -- things unstated which are scarier by far for not being wallowed in and held under a microscope -- great! In the hands of a genre master.
