The Star People

You may be interested in The Star People by Gaylord Johnson, recently released over at Project Gutenberg. It’s a story about an uncle teaching some kids, who form “the society of star gazers”, about the star constellations.

“Why did not somebody teach me the constellations, and make me at home in the starry heavens, which are always overhead and which I don’t half know to this day?”

—Thomas Carlyle.

  • “If possible, of course, some bad luck could be produced for the victims or for their institution. Pranks, you know. But again, this is not necessary, and may even get in the way of our pure experiment in mind-fuck and image-manipulation. Let the bastards produce their own bad luck out of their inner sadness at being such evil assholes, out of their atavistic superstition (without which they wouldn’t be such media-wizards), out of their fear of otherness, out of their repressed sexuality. You can be sure they will – or at least, that they’ll remember the ‘curse’ every time something bad happens to them.”

I use affiliate links on this blog when possible. Affiliate links include Amazon, Bookshop, Abebooks; and less frequently Powell's and DriveThruRPG. I may earn a small commission if you click through and make purchases.

I run ads on this site to help pay the bills and keep the lights on, including Google, Amazon, and, a scrappy indie network, ComicAd. If you use an ad blocker, consider becoming an ongoing supporter on Patreon, Bandcamp, or Ko-Fi to chip in and continue guilt free.

Some images on this site are created using AI/ML generators (MidJourney and Dall-E) when posts otherwise wouldn't have pictures or they seem fun to me to add.
