I, Adam Turner, have the soul and appellation of an artist, but though I feel this to be truth with the most earnest sentiment, I’ve not the hands and cannot draw. Oh, but I do write.

My Favourite Authors Are:

1) Mishima Yukio; the only man in known history to attempt a 5-man coup d’etat (sp?), only to have it serve as a stage for his own dramatic suicide.
- Temple of the Golden Pavillion
- Confessions of a Mask
- Sea of Fertility
- Shorts: Martyrdom & Cigarette

2). Edgar Allen Poe; King of Horror.
- The Fall of the House of Usher (The Haunted Palace)
- The Pit and the pendulum
- The Raven
“And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor, shall be lifted… Nevermore”

3) H. P. Lovecraft; Prince of Horror.
- Dreams in the WitchHouse
- At the Mountains of Madness
- The Statement of Randolph Carter
“Warren is dead, you fool!”

4) Arthur C Clarke; this Englishman wrote brilliant sci-fi. If you follow his writing; Britain participates in the space race when he writes in the thirties and forties; but later on his stories are centred on american and russian activity when it becomes fairly obvious that they’re the main players. I find this quaint. He died recently at a ripe old age in Sri Lanka.
- City in the Stars
- The Last Command
- The Nine Billion Names of God
“Overhead, without any fuss, the stars were going out”

5) Murakami Ryu; another Japanese, though more modern, but no less queer i suspect. Murakami (a name which other japanese authors share) writes graphically; his story lines are gripping.
- Coin Locker Babies
- Almost Transparent Blue
- In the Miso Soup
