Interview with a Ghostpire: Leonora Carrington


As a fellow magic practitioner, I have to ask, have you been watching Hellier unfold? And what do you think?

“You may not believe in magic but something very strange is happening at this very moment. Your head has dissolved into thin air and I can see the rhododendrons through your stomach. It's not that you are dead or anything dramatic like that, it is simply that you are fading away and I can't even remember your name.”

Hmmm, yes, magic is everywhere. 

What’s your take on Terry Wriste?

“People under seventy and over seven are very unreliable if they are not cats.” 

Why do you think an alien might send an e-mail? 

“This is a love letter to a nightmare.”

What do you think of the blue balloon? Are we to accept it as trash, a clue, or a synchronicity that is both which is a small piece to a larger clue? 

“One has to be careful what one takes when one goes”

Interesting, thank you Leonora, and lastly, do you think tin cans need vacations too?

The full moon shone brightly between the trees, so I was able to see, a few yards in front of me, the origins of a distressing noise. It was two cabbages having a terrible fight. They were tearing each other's leaves off with such ferocity that soon there was nothing but torn leaves everywhere and no cabbages.

It’s been great chatting with you about the high strangeness of Hellier. Any last remarks for the readers? 


“It is impossible to understand how millions and millions of people all obey a sickly collection of gentlemen that call themselves 'Government!' The word, I expect, frightens people. It is a form of planetary hypnosis, and very unhealthy."
