Adalbert is a forum for me, to post ephemera, photography, poetry, occasional travel notes, and various spontaneous motions. Cover photo: Parsonage where my great-grandfather spent his early years. Taken near Liegnitz, Silesia, ca. 1870. The "xothique" portion of the web address is a nod to Clark Ashton Smith's fictional continent of Zothique.

The Book of Srang Cover



This is the cover of a unique chapbook, The Book of Srang (a misspelling of "strange") drawn by a childhood friend of mine. As indicated by the instruction on the left, the book had an audio accompaniment
-- vocal effects imprinted on a cassette tape.  The tape long ago vanished, no doubt first unraveling.

  1. Creatively multimedial (drawings + sound), today one would probably make an app out of it. The R is shouting for help because he is missing the T.

  2. Thanks Rob. Wish I had that tape. I have some 30+ years old that still play.
