What happened to the book?

| 1014.2 | Dunno, but I'll find out | ODIXIE::RIDGWAY | For one brief shining moment | Wed Mar 29 1989 17:36 | 9 |
| I don't know what happened to the book. I put it back where I found
it and went to go wash my hands (I felt kinda unclean after skimming
through the book.)
I assume it was later thrown out. I'll ask my friend this weekend
if he still remembers it. But for all I know, it could still be
sitting on that shelf.

| Well, I asked my buddy about the book and he said the he thought
the name of it was "Flowers of Darkness." Apparently someone who
was into the occult had brought the book over to his house.
Has anyone heard of this book?
Thanks, Keith R>

| No. I've heard of _Flowers_of_Evil_, but only because it was a
character [sic] in _Roadmarks_ by Roger Zelazny.

I vauguely remember _Les Fleurs des Mals_ (_Flowers of Evil_)
from French literature. By Beaudelaire or DeSade, maybe(?).
(I know Zelazny likes to stick in bits from French literature;
_vide_ the last scene in _Doorways in the Sand_)

| Baudelaire, I think.
Checked Books in Print (mill library....) two "flowers of evil",
one a Baudelaire reprint, the other apparently a detective story.
No "Flowers of Darkness" listed.
(but then it wouldnt be....perhaps)
thanks

You only *thought* it was a real book! Really it was a murderous demon
waiting for an unwitting victim to open the pages, whence it would thrust
tentacles like ice into your brain and force you to spend eternity listening
to Beatles albums played backward.
Hmm...might be more interesting than working...can you fetch that book?

| re .8
Keith:
I (for one...) don't doubt that for a moment. All I was getting
at was that it wasnt listed in the current reference. BIP doesnt
list _everything_, but it was worth a look. Might be simply out
of print. If most people react to it as you did, it seems likely
not to have been a best seller.
However...
Sometimes, here in the deja_vu zone, responses can come in from
playful entities. These should be taken with a grain of salt...
(several grains, if the discussion turns to foodstuffs...).
thanks

| RE:-1 Actually I knew you were just joshin'! :-)
Beatles albums backwards?? Never....Pink Floyd maybe! :-)
As the Church Lady says, "Could it have been SATAN???"
I don't think I can get the book. When I asked my friend about
it he didn't really seem to want to talk about it. Oh well.
