Talk:Our Lady of Darkness

Untitled

There is, IMHO, some unwarranted interpretation and extrapolation in this article. And some factual errors:

The Fifty-Book did not contain fifty astrological signs; IIRC it was written using an alphabet of fifty signs.

Also, it is not clear that the creature that is brown, with eyeless triangular faces and long chins that taper to snouts actually is a paramental, as defined by De Castries.

References

Very little online about this book. I found a couple of passing references to it in reviews of other Leiber works and some other reviews. There seems to have been a review in Kirkus Reviews (you can a snippet at amazon and at Google's page for the book). Bongomatic 06:30, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

I would NOT delete this entry. This book is a classic of modern horror. 75.196.210.245 (talk) 02:42, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Second sentence

"It was written in the United States and is a work fantasy and science fiction." Firstly why is the fact the book was written in the United States important enough to state in the second sentence? Secondly, it is neither fantasy nor science fiction, it belongs more properly to the genre of horror. --Ericjs (talk) 07:30, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

A-lot of nothing?

Ok. This page is 95% exposition on the various elements of the book and virtually nothing about the story itself. There is not even a plot section! It just goes on and on and on about the elements pretty much.

This needs some sort of cleanup and a proper plot summary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omega2064 (talk • contribs) 03:00, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

As late as 2012, fantasy fans could take a walking tour of the city that included all the novel's main locations

And then what happened? Buildings were torn down? 2A01:CB0C:761:5B00:29D6:4241:36C0:5150 (talk) 06:56, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
