Podcast Episode: ROCK DEDICATION: He Never Died (Dedicated to JEFFREY
Now I know the mysteries of the sea, Tranquil emerald hues, emerald blues, enrapture me, Forever embraced with the mermaid queen, Now I know why the mariner nervously glances, Why no one on Grand Isle will ever say he died. For I too, will never die. They say he never died! In the night his spirit glides, Through the cold the sea roars, Pierre lives on forevermore.
ROCK DEDICATION: He Never Died (Dedicated to JEFFREY JAMES LEBLANC, SR.)
Tranquil emerald hues, emerald blues, enrapture me, Forever embraced with the mermaid queen, Now I know why the mariner nervously glances, Why no one on Grand Isle will ever say he died. For I too, will never die. They say he never died! In the night his spirit glides, Through the cold the sea roars, Pierre lives on forevermore. ---HE NEVER DIED

Scopro, spulciando sul blog di Davide Mana, che la periodica stroncatura di un intero genere, da parte di qualcuno che il genere l'ha sfiorato appena, è storia vecchia.

Questo post è del 2016, la rivista dell'articolo originario non c'è più, neppure Davide, però il suo blog è lì e dovremmo leggerlo di più. Bonus qui, in particolare, una ragguardevole cronologia del fantasy letterario anglosassone.
