Here is me and my mustache inside a space helmet. 

As mentioned so kindly on Neil Gaiman’s JOURNAL two weeks ago, my audio taped reading of Robert Sheckley’s “Dimension of Miracles” DROPS TODAY. 

D of M, as we call it in the trade, is an astonishing and somewhat lost classic of 60s conceptual comedy science fiction. As Neil notes, it prefigures HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE, but via the American button-down mentality of MAD MEN. 

I confess I was not familiar with the book when Neil asked me to read it into a tin can for his new line of curated audiobooks at Audible. (They call it “Neil Gaiman Presents,” but I call it, “Neil Gaiman finds the best and most Gaiman-ey stuff that has never been put out on audio before and conjures up mustached people to read them.”) 

But let me tell you: it is weird and smart and beguiling and great. The best way to enjoy it is to go into a room in Newark and read it out loud for hours over three days as Jeff Bezos drops by and stares at you. But if you can’t do that, you could do worse than enjoy my version of it. 

You can buy it HERE.

You can enter a D of M contest to go to NY Comic Con for free HERE. 

And you can listen to me and Neil Gaiman discuss D of M HERE. 

Thank you, as always, to Neil Gaiman, for inviting me into his strange world. My hero. 

That is all.
