Adamek at Eckleburg

Poe in Goth Ink by Lex

The late André-Marcel Adamek, who died in January, would like to wish you a Happy Halloween from beyond the grave with his mean and mournful tale, “Barnaby’s Goose,” in Issue 17 of The Dr. T.J. Eckleburg Review (formerly The Moon Milk Review), out as of today. Here’s an excerpt:

The goose soon revealed her terrible nature as a merciless conqueror. At barely six months of age, she picked out the only pretender to absolute power in the courtyard, an Irish cock redder than a ripe strawberry who violated each of the frail hens under his watch thrice daily. He carried out these misdeeds casually, falling on his prey with his claws and giving each a few solid thrusts with his rump before wandering off like a tabernacle saint, soul at ease and loins voided.

Nelly, whose head hovered three inches over the rooster’s comb, didn’t even bother challenging her rival to single combat. While he was rummaging about in the dungheap, chuckling like a senator, she lunged at his genitals, and with a twist of her neck tore off his male wiles, which she spat out disgustedly in the runnels of slurry before reassuming her noble, immaculate air.

Adamek and I met but once, and I miss him. What a gentleman, what a storyteller.
