the buff who fell to earthEek, just found out one of my most favourite authors has a new book out!!! Marcia Douglas’ previous book, The Marvellous Equations of the Dread (2016), was one of the coolest books I've ever read, she somehow managed to make a novel read and feel like music. With her newest, The Jamaica Kollection of the Shante Dream Arkive, Douglas apparently continues in her fantastic realm of experimental/speculative/surrealist/poetic fiction, I can't wait!
