Welcome, well the page has been up a while now, and slowly but surely I am finding a direction, feel and ambience for the page. Lately I been focusing more on posting on different boards and writing articles for Disinformation and trying to get my head around ORACLE. I hope you will forgive the lack of updates on the "Southern Gothic" sections of the page, but damnit! it's just not a broad enough canvas to work with. The page should at least reflect my current interests rather than just being a historical page for my more, how shall I put it, morbid interests. However the COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD still stands - drop back now and again, you know you can't help it, it's like virtual heroin.

Most of the links that are available at this point are at the bottom of this page. I have decided frames are a pain in the ass, and most people spend too much time wandering around web sites, so consider the scrolling down, my gift of exercise to you...

"Words of Fire, Ink of Blood" at this point pays homage to the great Southern Gothic Artists, Writers, and musicians that have made this world of shadows, gunsmoke, Love, loss, sickness, sadism, hope and beauty such a ghostly pleasure to experience.

The page will include, my own writings, any submitted to me that I think have merit, gif's and jpeg's of material the like of "Christina's World" (see above), The Raft of the Medusa, by Gericault. and meusings, interviews, pics and reviews of comics along the lines of and including "Preacher" and "Hellblazer".

Musically I am thinking about, Nick Cave, The Gun Club Jeffery Lee Pierce's savage stab at the American Dream), Gallon Drunk, Tarnation, Tom Waits, Sixteen Horsepower and The Pogues a cacophony of blood and screams that will make your feet tap and your soul shrink for cover in the nearest swamp. If after reading this page, you hear worrying scratchings down in the basement, its not your imagination its those creatures that used to haunt you when you were a kid, yes, they are real. So leave the computer on, you never know they may want to use it when you are asleep - and it should keep them from under your bed.

"Words of Fire, Ink of Blood" will, when life gives me the Goddamn time also tackle the Bible as a piece of literature (I'm a Witch meself) Faulkner, Cave, Kafka, and any other writers I think of or see when i get within sight of my library.

Oh and the ad's stay up, it's beyond my control. Rest assured though I did everything I could to get rid of them. Right down to threats of forced trans-sexual surgery for Geocitie's executives children.

The ad's can be minimized though, thank fuck for the small mercies of corporate scum, look up and to the right, you will see on the add a double arrow pointing to the right, click on it, and the adds disappear, until you reload the page of course. Let me just say again:

I DO NOT ENDORSE ANY OF THE ADS THAT APPEAR ON THIS PAGE,

Oh and while you are here, you may want to link to this page, for your own good.....it's just that I have friends in low places - don't say you weren't warned.

Stay tuned folks its gonna be a fun ride, this page will, and I mean will be updated soon.

Stay Sick,

FatherCrow

Oh incidentally if anyone wants to read my rants on various topics of interest or disinterest......I post under the handle "FatherCrow" at UnixPunx in the "forum" section and the occasional article at Disinformation.

My most recent addition to "Words of Fire, Ink of Blood" is my BLOG which should be updated on a daily basis (at least during the week), when I am at a computer. The weekend is reserved for other activities.

Also a last update (18/04/2008) if it so engages you, feel free to join and contribute to the "Words of Fire, Ink of Blood" Social Network where news and videos are posted on a semi-regular basis.
