Hype for the Future 113WUO: Village of West Union, Ohio

Overview The Village of West Union, Ohio, is a village located within the boundaries of Adams County, Ohio, within the United States of America. The Lafferty Funeral Collection Marker is more than just a funeral—the site is also home to a museum relevant to the community within the county.

I've finished reading R. A. Lafferty's 'Past Master' - I'm quickly becoming the biggest #Lafferty fan.

I got this one from a shelf of SF books from the 60s/70s - all unlabeled, 3 books for $15. I got an issue of Analog SF from 1968 chucked in for free. I'm quickly becoming a huge Lafferty fanboy.

Jon Krakauer wrote and published the book Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith. The book was made into a television series starring Andrew Garfield on FX of the same name, Under the Banner of Heaven. The church tried to silence the book before the show was even a thought but the author had a poignant response that shows he really does understand the church.
