After a two-week hiatus dedicated to pursuing day-job deadlines and long-overdue dental work, the Worth a Thousand feature is back!
This week’s story is entitled, appropriately enough, When Valehaven Fell, and it’s illustrated by Mu Young Kim, whose speed paintings I’ve been finding particularly atmospheric and inspiring.
In other news, I’ve decided to take another run at reading Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. More to the point, my wife has decided that she’s waited long enough for me to read to the things; if I don’t catch up with her in the next month, she’ll start spoiling them for me, one book a week, until I finish them. I finished The Gunslinger yesterday (for the third time, though the first this decade), and plan to start Drawing of the Three today. I read it once before, back when it was the only Gunslinger sequel available. Now there are what, six? Seven? If we had some way to hook Stephen King up to the power grid, we could keep New England in electricity from his sheer output.
I’m on a quest. I’m on a deadline. Wish me luck.
