Eidolon Chart (Paperback)

There exists no Infinity, for human choice. Only a "high finite". Starfield as<br>checkerboard. The ultimate shell game? Under some Earth, must lie the No<br>Answer. If not, hey. That'd be unfair.<br><br>Christopher E Ellington, child of Warren Pubs magick and the Saturday Night<br>Creature Feature, again lets out the belt of Old School horror, in <i>Eidolon Chart</i>, <br>Title #5 in his Midnight Hit Parade. In this offering, we are spoiled for choice in<br>size and number of existential tales, as Ellington shovels up the high finitude: a<br>mute, parallel species helpful, but unwanted...hopes of a geneticist running up<br>against DNA schematic as pasteboard wall, uncompromising presence<br>behind...selfaware internal human organ unseen, birthed independent as<br>weapon by a dying man. Five slices of Lorna-Guy "string theory pie" as spun<br>from the elementary Color Spectrum, plus a solo adventure for Lorna where we<br>learn the truth of Mr. Oearnfern's lifegiving sedan. Shells lifted, only scornful<br>cackling beneath. Where is our hope? In a 'devil may care' Earth, which never<br>signed a nuclear test ban treaty? A place where an alien social blessing and lil'<br>dog cookie create Other-problems to solve them? <i>Eidolon Chart</i>, read with one<br>eye or both, spells out options, one empty shell at a time: Global land war as<br>block party patriotism...AI in busy work, resurrecting all who in Life escaped<br>Justice...climate change, corporate greed...<i>good times</i>...<br><br>The fifth outpouring of Ellington's scary backstock, is more test for insight than<br>the eyes. <i>Eidolon Chart</i>, in high finitude of choices, is posted bill, laundry list of<br>The Human Vision. The No Answer is, yes, here. Read that sentence, again.
