The post that author Angeline Hawkes made on The Other Dark Place after my now known Collision Course interview and the double homicide whamline laced interview with Lawrence Dagstine in 2007 where all the message board felt the sting of that one. Her response, "Holy shit he laid into every single one of us." Noted for the first blue humored barb at Mary Sangiovanni implied how she got her first deal for The Hollower. When she dissed my far-off friendship with Derleth; one of my tumblr blog retorts she sicked Barney Fife on me as I suggested she give oral pleasure to a shotgun and pull the trigger. The interview Janrae Frank was pissed as she wanted my head on a fucking platter over how many swipes that included shit-stabber tinged remarks as I was trying not to say anally inflicted death sentence in the interview. There were some who read this interview as they literally pissed their pants when I got extremely raw as I was still enraged by the HWA incident. An Eye In Shadows the direction it took came from Angeline Hawkes leading a walkout giving the publisher an ultimatum as she gave an elaborate letter "I've outgrown the high school politics a long time ago." As this gave my book the venom to go at it on a level where it slammed Fandom Wank, saten and his F.U.K.U's, the publisher who gave me shit in the era, and a few other places who torqued me at the time to really let them have it.
