![]() ![]() Because, you know, they do shit " others" simply wouldn't understand and all. ![]() Only problem is that his landlords, Sarr and Deborah Poroth, are member of a super strict religious community that is not so keen on city folk and strangers being among them. It features Jeremy Freirs, a young graduate student and teacher renting a farming couple's guest house in Gilead, New Jersey in order to prepare a class on Gothic literature he'll have to give in the fall. The Ceremonies is the extension of a novella titled " The Events at Poroth's Farm", one of T.E.D Klein's first and most celebrated publications. So, how does long out-of-print T.E.D Klein fare in this day and age? He was, by far, the most warmly recommended author for horroctober and with the help of my friend Bob Pastorella I was able to track down a beat-up copy of The Ceremonies in a Toronto second hand bookshop and make an opinion for myself one of the most elusive and celebrated authors in cosmic horror. Apparently he hated writing and it gave him anxiety but reasons don't matter in retrospect, only actions do and quitting at the height of his glory earned Klein a strong cult following in the internet age. He won over audiences with books such as Dark Gods and The Ceremonies in the eighties before stopping to write fiction altogether and never looking back. American horror author T.E.D Klein is a bit of a mystery. ![]()
