ACTUAL CONVERSATION WHILE DRIVING:
Jh: “It says here on your book that you were influenced by HP Lovecraft and A. Merritt. Who is A. Merritt?”
Frank: “He is the author of ‘Seven Footprints to Satan’”
Jh: “I see. And it says you yourself studied the occult?”
Frank: “Well, I am actually a fairly sensitive psychic. But I don’t practice that much any more. Because the first thing you pick up on, of course, is the bad parts of people: their failures, their anxieties, their secrets. And this can be very painful.”
Jh: (silence)
COULTON: (silence)
Jh: (anxieties and secrets and silence)
Frank: “Oh, I think I should have made a left turn there.”
