Moved...

... and visibly so. Or actually something to the contrary.

In a fit of pique I decided to change this blog's url and name. I have my reasons. They're not particularly good ones, but they're mine nonetheless.

"...the edifice that yawned hugely at the city's vulgar heart,"

Perdido Street Station.


I suppose I'm blogging this a few months late but nevertheless it's blogworthy: one of my favourite novels has been (very kindly) released as a free eBook download. Marvellous.

It's available at Suvudu Free Book Library.

I'll sign off with a short extract from the prologue, a part of the book that always comes to mind when I think of it, the first sentence of which, after a thousand readings, I can pretty much recite from memory:

"Veldt to scrub to fields to farms to these first few tumbling houses that rise from the earth. It has been night for a long time. The hovels that encrust the river's edge have grown like mushrooms around me in the dark."

Enjoy.
