No one wants to discuss Lafferty/Crowley/Attanasio because he is too highbrow. People only want to discus YA long series or ai chink harem dogshit.

I hate this faggot so much. Not only does he write the intro now to every republished fantasy/sci fi book, he has R A Laffery's estate and refuses to release his work.
Gayman, King, Martin. All of these faggots write not to be writers but to write movies. And that is why they suck cock and Gene Wolfe and Lafferty will always be kings.

>Why do they do this?
I need a reason?

I know many of you won't care. But you should. R. A. Lafferty was one of the greats. Unique and interesting, unlike any other writer out there. Unfortunately he is scarcely known. This is mainly due to his difficult entry level both in esoteric prose and exposure, as the latter deals with much of his work having a limited publishing run or manuscripts never having been published at all still to this day. Kneel Gayman bought the Lafferty estate back in 2011 I believe and since then has done nothing with it. No republishing or unknown manuscripts printed. No one knows why it seems but if you see him please ask.
The image here is of my collection, many of which I have been searching years for and only recently obtained so I am excited to show. If your interest is peaked, I suggest starting with his short fiction, the collection Nine Hundred Grandmothers, or if want to read his novels check out Past Master, which to me feels like if Plato wrote speculative fiction. Or Fourth Mansion if you like conspiracy similar to Thomas Pynchon.
