oh those ..
shit i thought they were spiralling right out of control anyway.
I loved the beginning of G&SS .. the dead letter office thing ..
i just found the whole thing devolved into a big mess.
His short stories were so tight - controlled and efficient ... but his novels - especially his later works are trying too hard to be 'the ultimate in far out mind bending terror' and just seem like a muddy mess. (this is my personal opinion of course)
I didnt like Everville at all.
I read Weaveworld and Injamica (spelling) as well .. and found the same thing over and over again .. this desire to become so epic .. so fast ... it comes off more as bloated and excessive to me..
I think he's been an influence on Kind too because his last horror novels have a sililar feel ...
