Delighted to be interviewed by @talefoundry.bsky.social tonight about their upcoming video on The King in Yellow! I was happy to share my research and observations. I'll be doing a quick video summarizing the research I shared (including the sources I relied on). Huzzah for scholarship!

One of my favorite bits of recent literature is not just *Black Brane,* but specifically the description of Daladara, who sketches all and only the things he spies along a road-bound journey, specifically those ones coincident with the clacking of certain beads. What fun! @michaelcisco.bsky.social

"Black Brane" by @michaelcisco.bsky.social is a masterpiece of weird fiction, unreliable narration, and conceptual play with themes of nothingness and nonbeing. Read it. Read it multiple times! Here's my video essay, which is just now premiering on YouTube. 🦶💥🕳️ youtu.be/VV6_IJTKTQ0?...
