Baggage Has Skin



As grafted by Andrew McKiernan.

In the quote on the back VanderMeer describes 'Acception' as "incendiary".

This has me equal parts strutting and crowing like a rooster, and cowering under my bed waiting to be shouted down as a charlatan.

(Actually what I think he really means is that the story dooms the book to be burned. BURNED. BUUUUUURNED.)

    Surely having the book burned because of you story would be a badge of honor? It would put you right up with Brecht and Hemingway :).

  3. You're entirely evil. Now I keep thinking of Baggage as a think-skinned book with a tattooed map.

  6. I like the way you think, Mr Miller, indeed I do.

    Jaime 'n Selena, I no know yet, but will harp on about it loud enough when it's in the wild.

    Jeff, later I shall quote your opinion of my story being "...er, ya know..."
