![]() To expand upon the cover blurb, we find this prefatory passage inside: Nine Causes of Death to Be Found in TWILIGHT CANDELABRA Sixteen Sexual Acts Performed or Mentioned in TWILIGHT CANDELABRA ![]() Twenty-one Drugs Used or Mentioned in TWILIGHT CANDELABRA The book comes complete with a quiz and lists after the conclusion, including: If you followed the link to Rudy Rucker's blog in a prior post of mine and read Rudy's meditation on Craddock's first and more famous novel, BE NOT CONTENT, you'll have a good idea of the nature of this "sequel." It looks to be THE TIDES OF LUST as written by Philip Jose Farmer in his IMAGE OF THE BEAST mode, with maybe Richard Brautigan holding Craddock's elbow. A neglected minor masterpiece and cult object of veneration. Well, folks, this book looks, upon cursory examination, to be THE REAL DEAL. It still appeared preferable to the one I would have produced from my copy, with flash glare! I have to apologize for the truncated cover image, which I found on a book-dealer's site. ![]() TWILIGHT CANDELABRA, William Craddock, Doubleday, 1972 ![]()
