While Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling has been content to birth six behemoth novels starring her little wizard, Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Evan Handler, whose non-Lemony novel of San Francisco teens -- The Basic Eight was plenty dark and funny) has published more than double that amount -- today, Friday the 13th, sees the publication of The End, the (sniff) last in the series. I will always have a soft spot for Mr. Handler, as he at one time lived in my 'hood -- though we've both since moved. Long live the Richmond District!
After devouring that, young goths with no where else to turn might look into the new edition of Jane Eyre illustrated by the always creepy good and gothic Dame Darcy, whose zine Meatcake was always eagerly devoured when it came into the Factsheet Five office.
