Didn't know about the Portis novel there. May check it out.

Like all his books, it's great.

Like Blaylock's work immensely. Haven't read most of the listed, but if Blaylock and you (for Portis) give thumbs up, then I'm in !

Zeman's NA KOMETE, based on Jules Verne's OFF ON A COMET, is also charming. If anyone needs further inducement to read "The Great Dark," I'll just mention that Twain's voyagers use their ship-mounted Gatling guns to fend off the squid and other sea monsters.

One gets the feeling that a certain East Texas writer might have read that one.

I was pretty young when I attempted PHANTASTES, and tend to think of it in the same terms as I do William Morris's novels. This might be unfair, I suppose.

Thanks for posting this--I thought I'd know all of them, but two--and the films--I'd never heard of, and a couple more I'd *only* heard of but have never read. Another project for the near future...
