Bad memories since I read last week about David and Leigh Eddings having both spent a year in prison for horrific abuse of their adopted children :(
Well... fuck.
The simple word "extensive" on Wikipedia says plenty.
Yeah, I loved those books.
dusty unopened book noises
I still have them in my collection. All of Eddings, except High Hunt and The Losers. Now I don't want to give them away, yet I no longer cherish them :(
I have the Dangerous album from Michael Jackson, shelved for decades without listening, for pretty much the same reason :(
I knew about the allegations against MZB, luckily I never got into her books, so it's not a big loss for me - but just now I got curious and did some reading - Is this article legitimately by MZB's daughter? https://thembeforeus.com/moira-greyland-i-was-born-into-a-family-of-famous-gay-pagan-authors-in-the-late-sixties/
That's a sad outcome - of course it is understandable that as a traumatized victim she has a risk to have a warped vision of reality - but holy cow, to blame homosexuality as the root of the problem, that's losing the plot entirely.
that intro in the kitchen is still stuck in my head
fuck them both, so disappointed
